WRX Exclusive: First in-hand look at Rickie Fowler’s Cobra Prototype MBs

Published

on

These irons have been teased out on social, but these are the first in-hand pics of Rickie Fowler’s prototype Cobra irons.

Thanks to the team at Cobra Golf, I had the opportunity to get into the Tour Cage at HQ and get a long peek at Rickie’s new Proto MBs. This report will get updated tomorrow as more specs and info come to me, but at first glance, I can say this

  1. They have a very unique shape with sharp profiles overall
  2. ZERO offset…like ZERO
  3. As you can see in the pics, the top line, sole and leading edge are sharp with a very short blade length
  4. Very high toe with some unique transitions flowing from hosel into heel
  5. The scoring clubs is what stands out the most, the PW has a very unique shape and almost appears to be onset
  6. From what I was told, the set photographed was the first testing model that RF used and is slightly different than his gamers in the PW and 9-iron

I’m getting more specific info from my contact in the Cobra Tour Dept in the a.m. and will hopefully update this article in the morning (PST).

Off to see Star Wars….enjoy the pics!

    Really cool irons. Make me a set of cavity backs with noffset and the same simple styling please. I need the leading edge for a digger, however. 🙂

    Zero offset…
    These may be the first irons with negative offset, a new trend called inset maybe!

      It’s called “onset” and it already exists in some player’s irons. Jason Day for instance has long played his clubs with onset to encourage a left-to-right shape. Justin Thomas’s irons are designed with zero offset whatsoever.

      There have been irons with same offset, bordering on onset. The Tommy Armour 986 Tours of 1986-1995 are the set that immediate come to mind. Legendary for the lack of offset.

        The 986 Tour might be the one set that I have never owned but STRONGLY DESIRE.

    How about first and foremost asking your contact if (and hopefully when) these will come to retail??

    Damn that (lack of) offset looks intimidating at address. I’d power fade (slice) the hell out of these bad boys.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
