Cobra launches new AeroJet irons

Cobra Golf has today introduced the new AeroJet irons, which are designed to allow players to pursue levels of speed and distance in their iron game.

The new irons feature a sleek new design with a refined topline and several distance-enhancing technologies, including Cobra’s new PWR-Bridge weighting design that evolves upon the PWR-Cor in LTDx to optimize weight distribution and flexibility in design for maximum power and distance.

Per Cobra, engineers discovered that they could achieve the benefits of low CG and added face and body flexion by creating a separate weight that is untethered, which is called PWR-Bridge.

The PWR-Bridge design comprises a 70g steel weight that is completely separated from the face, body and sole of the iron. The design positions the CG low in a bid to optimize launch and creates room for the body structure to flex freely around the PWR-Bridge, resulting in excellent ball speed and distance.

To further increase face deflection for faster ball speeds, the AeroJet irons feature the brand’s largest PwrShell insert with a new H.O.T. Face variable thickness pattern, featuring a 22% larger thin area (1.9 mm at the thinnest point) than the previous LTDxTM irons.

H.O.T. FACE (which stands for Highly Optimized Topology) was designed using artificial intelligence and features multiple zones with optimized thicknesses and shaping in design to deliver a larger Sweet Zone for more efficient speed and spin across the entire clubface.

Per the brand, the PWR-Bridge and PwrShell, and H.O.T Face designs produce 10% more face deflection than LTDxTM, resulting in up to 1.8 mph faster speed and up to 3.5 more yards of total distance when tested on the robot. In addition, to improve overall feel, a Polymer Feel System is incorporated using an injected polymer filler that encases the hollow area around the PWR-Bridge weight to dampen vibration in a bid to provide a soft, forged-like feel and sound at impact.

Specs & Pricing

The AeroJet Variable Length irons are available in a 5-GW set comp (RH/LH; Steel Stiff and Reg – $999) or 4-PW (RH; Steel Stiff – $999), as well as a graphite combo set in 5H, 6-PW, GW (RH; Graphite Reg and Lite – $1099). An AeroJet Women’s offering comes in a silver and ice blue colorway and is also available in a graphite combo set (RH only; $1099), consisting of 5H, 6H, 7-PW, SW.

Cobra’s AeroJet One Length irons are available in 5-GW in graphite (RH – Stiff, Reg, Lite – $1099) and in steel (RH/LH – Stiff & Reg – $99) and a graphite combo set consisting of a 5H (One Length hybrid), and 6-PW, GW One Length irons (RH; Reg & Lite Flex – $1099).

TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper: Leveraging 90s nostalgia

Published

GolfWRX Staff

TaylorMade is leaning in even further to the retro vibes with the 2024 edition of its BRNR Mini Driver.

Patterned after the Carlsbad-based company’s iconic late 1990s Burner driver design, the 2024 BRNR Mini features similar copper styling and a retro version of the TaylorMade logo.

Featuring the same technology as its 2023 BRNR Mini Driver, the 2024 edition continues to play the hits that saw the unique club land in the bag of tour pros, such as Tommy Fleetwood and Jake Knapp.

Check out details on the technology in our 2023 BRNR launch story.

Why play a mini driver?

In general, TaylorMade finds two types of golfers gravitate toward a mini driver. In the first case, it’s an addition to a standard driver: Players looking for a “fairway finder” driver without giving up too much distance that can also be hit off the deck. Second, TaylorMade recommends giving a mini a go to golfers who struggle to hit 460 cc drivers, particularly choppers. It’s a better alternative than a 3-wood off the tee.

Tommy Fleetwood’s endorsement of playing a mini driver

“For me, if I HAD to hit a fairway, I’m more comfortable hitting a driver than a 3-wood. I would tee the driver down, and I would hit a little cut, or a neck-y cut in the fairway. The 3-wood isn’t for that. The 3-wood, generally, is a pretty hot club that I’ll hit from 270 or 280 in the fairway on a par 5. You get some courses where a 3-wood is not always necessary. [With the BRNR] you put a normal swing on it, and I’m more comfortable hitting it straight. It’s a replacement for a 3-wood, basically.”

Pricing, specs, availability

TaylorMade’s new BRNR Mini Driver Copper clubs will sell for $449.99 in 11.5 (RH/LH) and 13.5 (RH) degree options, and they will be available for custom orders.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a set of blacked out P770 irons

From the seller: (@hammertime1515): “Just one single iron set up for grabs today. Got these right before they quote selling them at the end of February. Only played 3 full rounds with them and a couple short range sessions. 7 iron shows the most wear and 8 iron has a sandy mark on the toe (ball striking out of winter wasn’t the strong suit) Just not right for me no matter how much I wanted them to be. Price is shipped and OBO……

P770 Black Out irons. 4-PW. —New Tour Velvet Align Midsize Grips —1/2” over TM standard —2 degrees upright —Standard Lofts —Dynamic Gold 105 X100 shafts —PW has never been hit, most of them have been hit sparingly. Tried to capture the wear on the 7 iron and the toe mark on the 8 iron the best I could. Soles have virtually no scratching from use and no bag chatter. -If more pics are needed just ask ——PRICE: $1000 OBO” & Shipped
