Cobra Golf has today introduced its King Vintage series of putters with model names inspired by classic cars.

The Vintage series of putters feature a steel chassis, simple sightlines for alignment, and a black and turbo yellow color scheme. With multiple shapes, hosels, and an adjustable weighting system, the Vintage family has a variety of options for any style of putting stroke.

In addition, Cobra engineers worked with SIK Golf and Bryson DeChambeau to design improved roll in a soft yet crisp feeling aluminum face insert utilizing SIK’s patented Descending Loft Technology (DLT), which features four descending lofts on the face.

The King Vintage Sport-45 ($249)

The King Vintage Sport-45 putter features a traditional blade shape with a plumber neck hosel.

The construction consists of a 304 stainless steel chassis with a single sightline, while a 45-degree toe hang is designed for players with a slight arc that desire a blend of stability and control.

An aluminum face insert is designed with SIK’s DLT, which utilizes four descending lofts (4,3,2,1 degrees) in design for accurate roll trajectory for descending, neutral, and ascending attack angles.

In addition, the Sport-45 putter is equipped with two 20-gram sole weights that can be adjusted to plus-five or minus-10 each to tune the overall headweight.

The custom weights (10, 15,20, and 25 grams) are sold separately through custom and on Cobra’s website, while the putter comes equipped with a lightweight polyurethane Lamkin Sinkfit Connect grip.

King Vintage Sport-60

The second offering in the “Sport” blade shape is the King Vintage Sport-60. The putter features a flowneck hosel design that creates a 60-degree toe hang that is suitable for players who have a stronger arc putting stroke.

The Sport-60 putter is equipped with two 25-gram sole weights that can be adjusted up to minus-15 grams each to decrease the overall head weight up to minus-30g.

The King Vintage Torino ($249)

This putter features a mid-mallet shape with a single bend shaft designed to create a face-balanced design that caters to top layers with a straight-back, straight-through stroke.

Like the blade models in the family, the Vintage Torino uses a 304 stainless steel chassis with triple sightlines for enhanced alignment at address. An aluminum face insert is designed with SIK Golf’s DLT. The Torino putter is equipped with two 10-gram sole weights that can be adjusted up to 15 grams each to increase the overall head weight.

The putter comes equipped with a lightweight polyurethane Lamkin Sinkfit Connect grip.

The King Vintage Nova ($249)

The King Vintage Nova features a popular fang shape designed for enhanced stability and improved alignment and a single bend hosel for a face-balanced design suitable for players with a straight-back, straight-through stroke.

The Vintage Nova chassis is constructed using 304 stainless steel and is equipped with a 6061 aluminum (aircraft grade) face insert featuring SIK’s DLT with four descending lofts (4, 3, 2, and 1 degrees).

The second offering in the “Nova” fang shape is the King Vintage Nova-40. The putter features a short slant hosel design that creates a 40-degree toe hang that is suitable for players who have a slight arc to their putting stroke.

The King Vintage Stingray ($249)

This oversize mallet putter utilizes a multi-material construction featuring a 304 stainless steel chassis on the perimeter and a unique plastic/carbon-fiber housing system that allows for a single adjustable weight. The result? The highest MOI shape in the Vintage family.

The model is designed with a single bend hosel to create a face-balanced design that is suited for players with a straight-back, straight-through stroke seeking forgiveness and stability. The Vintage Stingray is also equipped with an aluminum face insert featuring SIK Golf’s DL.

The second offering in the “Stingray” mallet shape is the King Vintage Stingray-40. The putter features a short slant hosel design that creates a 40-degree toe hang that is suited for players who have a slight arc to their putting stroke.

Each putter in the King Vintage Series is equipped with a Cobra Connect grip Powered by Arccos Caddie.

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.

Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).

Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!

Titleist GT280 mini driver after 3 rounds – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has announced himself as a believer in the powers of Titleist’s GT280 Mini Driver, and is sharing the good news with other members.

User @dgarland chronicled:

“As the title states I have played 3 rounds with a Titleist GT280 mini driver and here are the results… If you have been contemplating trying one, definitely do. Stock Tensei Blue and set at standard loft and it’s legitimately hard to not put the ball in play with this. It is incredibly straight and even bad swings result in a usable shot. You will give up some distance but you will be in play. I have not attempted to hit it off the fairway yet but I rarely hit my 3 wood off the fairway either. At my home course there are two holes on the front 9 that are a really uncomfortable shot with the driver. One is a slight dogleg right where a draw (my normal shot) can run out of room fast and the other is a dogleg left with trees about 250ish straight off the tee, where a driver that doesn’t draw will get me into trouble. The mini driver has been perfect for both of them. I always step onto those tee boxes uncomfortable about the shot I need to play, but with this it makes it far easier to get the ball in play.

“Update: 2 for 2 again this morning in a 9 hole round.”

Members in the forum shared their thoughts on mini drivers, offering up their favorite models and whether or not they’re a proper fit for their home course/style of play. 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.

NorthMNgolfer: “I’m curious between this and the new TEC mini that was just released. But I’m waiting a mini that can be used from the fairway as well from time to time. Both look like great options.”
jLMN: “I played the GT280 last year and it’s a great club. My problem this year is I couldn’t justify keeping it in the bag when I would only use it 2-3 times per round. Perfect club for short par 4 tee shots. I didn’t trust it as well off the deck compared to the tee box.”
GolferPerson1: “I can only speak to the 280 but I’ve had no issues with it from the fairway. ”
