I really, really like the look of this at address, but yet again we are all screaming "cleaner"

I'd like to see this at address with a ball if anyone can oblige? You out there Rickie?? ��

Do we know if he put them in the bag today? We know he was 'testing' them this week, but is he playing the actual tourney with them? I remember him testing the model from last year and from ROBO's account (he was there), Rickie wasn't exactly thrilled with them.

Not in play

Right on, thanks for the 411 Greg, always on it!

[TheDarkOne]

Doesn't really do anything for me. I'm with Rick on this one, not in the bag indeed.

[Konklifer]

So all of those people complaining about the Tour Trusty etc do you have a problem with a Vokey which is even busier??

 

 

And how many knocking the graphics are salivating over the super busy new Callaway's?

I'll say again, I love, love the look at address, they have a sort of aggressive look to them which I like as it compliments my wedge play, knock 'em in low, fast and spinny.

Would love to get a look of then at address or in hand but with a bit of forward shaft lean so it looks like a pitching set up

[AzPGAPro]

Um, this is not news...he has had these in the bag since the start of the year. Look for them to be available to retail in mid-summer.

[AzPGAPro]

Here you go guys! I took these photos while at the PGA Show this past January. Sorry if they aren't the best in quality. I can't wait to get them in the bag!!

Just not sure why they insist on the 59* instead of the 60*...


The Great Big Trusty Rusty was absolutely horrible looking...

And I know...I know.... Bend em.... But seriously....someone explain it to me... Why the 59*....

As weird as it sounds... I want my 60*.... To say 60* on it...

Rant done.


I'll still buy em.

Are you actually going to see a 1 degree difference...nah!

They look good to me but since I have never owned a Cobra wedge in all my years I can't see me using those.
[/quote]

I agree with you. I have recently been playing the trusty rusty gap and lob wedge. Once I got them bent, I loved them. They are a little heavy but the feel is great. I just want to know if cobra will release a tour edition of the wedges.

[webber]

I bagged an original 53 trusty rusty and it was hands down one of the all time favorite clubs of mine!

[2012BFT]

Doesnt Rickie pretty much always game vokeys anyway? These look pretty sweet to me, but everytime cobra comes out with a new wedge version there is talk about rickie gaming them, but then he always has the vokeys in the bag???

[Mustng5]

He played the protos for one tournament awhile ago whenever he holed out from the fairway. Other than that he's had vokey in the bag

Does any one know if the amp cell pro fairwaywood is coming to retail?

What's the difference between regular Trusty Rusty?
[/quote]

the original Trusty Rusty was a much more rounded shape with more offset. The tour model (which will hit shelves late September/October) is more of a straight leading edge players wedge.

Round 2 for Rickie with these, last time he wasnt too happy, we'll see how this one goes!

No plans at this time. If it happens, youll have to wait until next year with the next line. Cobra is slowly becoming a players brand...

Looks like no spin technology at all. Grooves look small. Where is the roughness?
[/quote]
A well struck shot will spin regardless

Clearly. But it's a reason every company tries to add little technology to increase spin. For example rtx face or the atv face. Also helps with spin out of rough where a clean shot isn't likely. If cobra has none of those technologies then they are behind.

He used them for 1 or 2 tournaments when they first introduced them, that's it.

Yup...then he went back to the Vokes!

We know, Az was just defending being called out by PGA for saying we have seen these before. Which we have.
