Cobra’s AMP Cell goes green for the Masters
Cobra has released 1,800 units of a special Masters Edition AMP Cell Driver, which are painted green, yellow and white and marked “1 of 1800” to celebrate the season’s first major.
The driver comes with matching green Lamkin 3Gen grip, head cover and wrench, as well as a non-modified Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana White Board 60-gram shaft in stiff and regular flexes at 45.75 inches.
It also features the same MyFly and SmartPad technologies as the AMP Cell, which allow golfers to adjust the loft from 8.5 degrees to 11.5 degrees without significantly changing the face angle.
“We are aiming to be the most desirable brand in golf,” said Jose Miraflor, Cobra’s director of product marketing, in a company press release. “(The Masters is) one of the most exciting times of the golf season and this limited edition driver builds off of that energy.”
The drivers will carry a street price of $399.
The AMP Cell was originally announced last September (click here to read the story), and was first released to the public in mid-February. It came with four different color options (red, blue, silver and orange).

Spotted: Axis1 prototype broomstick putter
We have seen an uptick in longer putters out on the professional tours with players gravitating toward either counterbalanced or broomstick styles. As a refresher, A “broomstick” putter is a long putter that is usually built to a length that goes up to your chest. If you have seen Adam Scott putt in a tournament recently, he uses what is classified as a broomstick putter.
Axis1 might not be the most common brand in the world of putters but they have been around a while, most notably in Justin Rose’s bag.
Axis1 is known for a putter that doesn’t look traditional but a design is used to get the center of gravity to the center of the club face, aligned with the shaft. This technology keeps the face aligned with the ball throughout the stroke. More traditional putters rotate around the shaft axis, which doesn’t align with the center of the putter, making it easier for the putter face to not be square to the target at impact.
This week at the Valero Texas Open, we spotted a prototype Axis1 putter in a long broomstick version. The head shape looks very similar to the current Axis1 Tour-HM putter that the company currently makes, which is a more squared-off mid-mallet. The prototype looks to have a similar multi-material head with a 304 stainless steel face mated to a composite back. Twin site lines run together, on the topline and on the flange, to create a longer line for aligning the putter. The steel face has a fairly shallow milling to it, and the flowing heel hosel connects to the aggressive shaft bend.
A matching black shaft is installed, and at the grip end is Super Stroke’s Zenergy Tour 1.0 two-piece in white and black. No word on if or when this will come to retail yet.

I have pre-ordered one thru Golfsmith (don’t need it since I’m nuking my 913 D3 with Bassara S, but this just looks so cool I couldn’t resist), however, counter to the information in your article it is being offered with Diamana WHITEBOARD!
