Overview

For as long as anyone can remember, irons have been made one of two ways: either forged from a solid block of steel, or cast by pouring molten steel into a mold. But Cobra Golf is changing all that. Their revolutionary 3D-printed irons have clubheads that are built layer by layer from the inside out, unlocking a new world of possibilities in design and performance. After a few years of development and offering its 3D-printed irons through limited release, mostly to Tour players, Cobra has now expanded their lineup into three new models available to everyday golfers.
