New Cobra Putters

I saw them a few months ago when my Cobra rep brought them in. SIK face and 3D printed pieces, kind of a good story behind it, but ultimately another Spider look-alike. They probably won't move the needle much just because they're Cobra and most people won't try them. 

Were there any blade style in the line?

I only saw one blade that day, it looked similar to the Limited Edition Super Sport putter, but more of a regular production run. He didn't mention any other blade heads/necks that day.

I doubt these will sell. Cobra haven't made decent putters since the forged version Loren Roberts used and they are unlikely to get their staffers to use them. 

I’m afraid there is a really good chance that’s probably the case. It’s like the other post about why more people don’t play Mizuno wedges. Think about the people that make up the average ‘golfing public’. They think putter it’s most likely TM, Ping, Callaway, Cameron. At that price point I just don’t see many people picking Cobra, or even looking at them for that matter.

I sadly agree. I think these will be fantastic putters but there are soo many good options that have been around a while that these will not move the needle.

There are a few other models coming as well.

The boys at TXG hinted there were two mallets, Ian quite liked the look of one of them. We should see embargoes lift in the next week or so.

Two mallet styles two blade’isu styles.

Is one of those blade styles a wide blade by chance?

Reviews from TGW are on YouTube of both lines look pretty good plenty of tech and a lot of different options including armlock

Thanks for the link. That slant neck stingray will be an immediate purchase for me.

Looks like the armlock models are only available in 72* lie angle. That's a huge bummer as I really wanted to try these, but I def won't be attempting to bend something 5-6* upright

I would say 'ish to this. 

[QuigleyDU]

I think Cobra did something pretty unique and cool with these. I agree with others that they may not be the best sellers though.

 

When I saw them the one thing that jumped out at me was that the below models are extremely shiny and glare could be an issue. The top is almost chrome..

I find it odd that the lie angle for standard, one length & armlock are all the same. Seems like one length & armlock should have considerately more upright lie angles

[TheMoneyShot]

Very Interesting looking line.  Not sure how successful they will be with those price points in the competitive putter market..

[Wardonation]

Do we know the size of the "fang" model? I hope it is the bigger size like the original #7 but it looks smaller to me on website?

Armlock putter for some many companies have barely any thought to them. Armlock putters to me really need to be their own design. It is not just a putter with a 40 inch shaft.. 

[av1084]

Agree with the above posts, non-customizable lie angles for armlock putters should be considered criminal behavior.

[The4TH]

There is even a ONE LENGTH version of 3D PRINTED AGERA!! that confuses me 🙂 a semi armlock with 37.5"?!

[SUPERG]

ehh good way to grab SIK tech at 250 vs 500 plus. 

[Bucken77]

I am liking the looks of these. Add on the SIK face and I may have to bite

I think it means Cobra is not serious about the putters.

[ASN21]

Smart move by Cobra to copy TaylorMade and Odyssey designs.

How about a few in-hand photos?

 

Agera has some pretty sweet truss/lattice stuff going on in it! I reviewed this one in my podcast if you care to listen, link is in my signature!

Outside did the silver top cast any glare? That was one thing I thought about when I saw it indoors.

I was worried about that too, but I didn't notice anything on some sunny Michigan days.
