For those of us that use a 3w just a tee club on short or tight par 4's, a mini F9 would be fantastic and it would replace my Callaway Rogue SZ 3w. 3w heads are small, so why not have something a little bigger for more forgiveness. Sounds like a win win to me :wink:

Couldn't be on it live but thanks for answering my L4V question.

> > With the different personalities among Tour staff on Cobra Golf's roster, have there been any cool ideas that they contributed in terms of marketing the different innovations in the products? For instance, actors have contributed ideas to scripts or ad-libbed lines into the final product, anything similar with the Tour staff? Rickie, Bryson, and Lexi seem like they would have interesting ideas

>

>

> Yes, we work super closely with our Tour pro's for innovation and marketing ideas. With Rickie, we focus a lot on the overall look and sound of the product when he sees initial prototypes. With the F9 driver, Rickie had some great input for the overall cosmetics of the driver. With Bryson our R&D team dialed in his ONE Length irons and commercialized it for the masses...no small feat :) We have been working closely with Lexi in developing some new prototype irons too. From a marketing standpoint, our players are always giving us great new ideas...especially for social. - LE

Thanks for taking the time to answer! ??

> With the high bounce on the wedges the ground contact point is on the back edge of the sole, so the concave area on the back of the sole allows the head to sit lower on tight lies.  With less bounce on the irons the ground contact point is at the center of the sole, so a concavity on the back edge would not allow the head to sit lower to the ground as it does on the wedges.

Nothing wrong with a high bounce iron. I think the first Callaway X Protos were high bounce, just had a really rounded sole grind.

I unfortunately didn't make the live, but would like to thank you for the time of answering my question.

> And... The Long Tom with a lower CG and better Aero would be a freaking killer! TO's recommendation of making a light F9 will be dang close!

> Cobra was founded by Australian Tom Crow. From Australian Golf Digest: "Incidentally, the origin of the name Cobra is an interesting side story. The Crows were sitting in the living room of their Bellevue Hill home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Tom was adamant he needed a one-word name to capture the imagination. Some of the big equipment makers at the time were defined by one iconic word: MacGregor. Ping. Ram. Wilson. Cally Crow, a more than competent artist, started doodling on a piece of paper. She drew an image of a snake that caught Tom’s attention: “Perfect! Cobra strikes back. Good for marketing.”

Awesome... thanks for the response!

I won a T-shirt for the Live Golf Pride Q&A but have yet to receive it. I’m sure it’ll come.

[The_Champ]

Are the new King Forged cb/mb irons more forgiving then the previous version?

Yes

[j.b.newton]

Wonder when they will announce the winners?

[HipCheck]

Drawing tomorrow .... stay tuned.

[azgolfer64]

I saw a posting recently on some New Cobra putters. Are these actually coming to the US market? If yes, when and will there be other models?

[Railroading13]

Do you foresee a time when players can order custom paint finishes on irons and woods? Kind of like custom stamping on wedges but with total control of color/finish throughout the bag. Or is this just way to cost prohibitive?

[HipCheck]

THANK YOU SO MUCH GOLFWRX @"COBRA PUMA GOLF" @HipCheck!!!! I really appreciate it!!

(Fedex driver too)

 

Of course, as soon as I got back from golf this morning the FedEx truck pulls up. I was about to jump back in my car with the box and head back to the course but my wife/kids saw me. I told her “I have to go back” and she looked at me like I was crazy while I looked at her like she was crazy, lol.

We had to take the kids somewhere so we made a deal and now I’m waiting for the kids to go to sleep for the night to hit the range....times moving slow..

 

I can’t believe how sick this driver looks!! BLACK And YELLOW, Tensei pro white, with Golfpride TV Arcos COBRA Connect grips!! AW MAN, wanna scream like Tarzan!

I haven’t swung it yet. Just by looking at it you can tell a lot of thought and work went into the design aspect of this driver, even the head cover details are very impressive and check out the golfpride Cobra connect grip below.. this driver as a whole Is LIT straight FIRE!! LOVE IT so far and can’t wait to rip it.
