Cobra Golf today made its official entry into the putter market with its new line of 3D-printed multi-material putters, all of which feature SIK face technology.

The new releases arrive a year after Cobra first partnered with HP to become the first OEM to launch a commercial, 3D-printed metal putter with the limited-edition King SuperSport-35.

The new putters feature a 3D-printed nylon lattice cartridge created using HP’s advanced Multi-Jet fusion printing technology.

The 3D-printed lattice structure is designed to optimize weight distribution within the putter chassis to deliver a high MOI design for enhanced stability and roll performance in three distinct models: The GrandSport-35 (OS Blade), SuperNova (OS Fang), and the Agera (OS Mallet)

“We’re extremely excited launch our new family of 3D printed putters, continuing our partnership with HP, utilizing their Metal Jet Technology to innovate and transform the way golf equipment is manufactured through the use of 3D printing, an extremely effective process in the design and development of our new putter line. We are extremely excited for golfers to try our new 3D printed putters, while each is unique, they all deliver advanced stability, forgiveness and roll performance that will make putting easier for golfers of all levels.” – Jose, VP Marketing & Product Architecture, Cobra Golf.

In each putter, Cobra partnered with SIK Golf to employ patented Descending Loft Technology (DLT), which features four descending lofts on the face to produce a consistent launch angle and roll for different putting styles.

The King GrandSport-35 ($349)

The King GrandSport features an oversize blade shape and an MOI comparable to other OS mallets on the market. A plumber neck design to create a 35-degree toe hang aimed towards players with a slight arc to their putting stroke.

A multi-material construction features a 268-gram steel chassis, 21-gram forged aluminum crown, and a 3D-printed nylon lattice cartridge.

With nylon being roughly half the weight of aluminum, the construction enabled weight to be removed from the center of the clubhead and repositioned to the heel and toe areas for increased MOI and forgiveness.

In addition, 30 grams of combined tungsten weight is in the heel and toe in design to enhance perimeter weighting for greater stability on off-center hits.

For enhanced roll performance, an aluminum face insert features SIK’s DLT.

The putter also includes a Tri-Plane sole with center relief in design for added versatility and a single sightline for improved alignment.

The GrandSport-35 is available in right and left hand in 34 and 35-inch lengths through stock (other lengths available through custom).

The GrandSport-35 shape is also available in a 41-inch armlock model with an oversize Lamkin Armlock grip. The Armlock model features an aluminum SIK face insert with more loft than the standard GrandSport-35 (7, 6, 5, 4 degrees) to account for forward shaft lean during the stoke.

The King 3D printed Grandsport-35 putters are equipped with a lightweight polyurethane Lamkin Sinkfit Connect Grip.

The King SuperNova ($349)

The King SuperNova putter features an oversize fang design with MOI over 5,700 designed for extreme stability on off-center hits. The stability is achieved using a 3D-printed multi-material construction with two 3D-printed nylon lattice cartridges, a 291-gram steel chassis, 18-gram forged aluminum crown, and 42 grams of combined tungsten on the perimeter extremities.

The two 3D-printed lattice cartridges use a lightweight nylon material to optimize weight distribution within the chassis making the MOI of the SuperNova greater than other fang-style mallets on the market.

The putter is also equipped with an aluminum SIK face insert and a lightweight polyurethane Lamkin Sink fit Connect Grip.

The King Agera ($349)

The King Agera putter features an oversize mallet shape and an MOI over 7,600, making it one of the most stable putters on the market today.

The design features a 3D-printed nylon cartridge, 261-gram steel chassis, 27-gram forged aluminum crown, and extreme tungsten weighting.

The intricate 3D-printed nylon lattice cartridge removes unnecessary mass from the center in design to allow weight to be redistributed to the perimeter in the form of 53 grams of combined tungsten to increase MOI.

Like the other putters in the King 3D Printed Series, the Agera also features an aluminum face insert with SIK’s DLT with four descending lofts (4,3,2 and 1 degree) to provide optimal launch and roll consistency.

The King Agera putter is equipped with a lightweight polyurethane Lamkin Sink Fit Connect Grip and is available in right and left hand in 34, 35, and 37.5 inches stock length (other lengths available through custom).

A 41-inch Armlock model is also available and comes with a special oversize Lamkin Sinkfit Connect grip.

Interesting clubs at top of bag – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.

They wrote:

“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. 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.

BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”

Members of the Mini Driver Club – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.

@TightFade asked:

“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. 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.

RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”
