Saw my first set of Cobra blades like those 2 weeks ago---- They are sharp and sit good. I might would go more "modern" and play those with the correct shafts for me of course

Haha!  I wonder if any pros will start bagging these new putters.  It will be interesting to follow. 

The cobra putters are actually pretty good. I have been impressed.

Post on the main page says he is in a TP5 Pix, thought he was in the x.

I believe this is the issue. His length dropped and so has his game. But lets face it. I play golf 5 days in a row and I want a break. How can these guys play that much all the time and have tens of millions in the bank and not get bored, tired or family starts to get in the way. Not just Tiger but any of these guys who keep it up like they do shows such mental strength! 

[WillyL]

I agree. He has it all……. But not a major. I think that’s the fire that burns in these guys.

I agree.  All of the ones I tested looked and felt great.  Hard to not scoop one up for the price.  I really like the vintage line.

[gunmetal]

Has 3 putters with him. Been there done that.

Wow, busting out the OG Whiteboards, complete with tip prep and old ferrule marks like they were pulled from his old Titleist clubs, love it. 😆

He’s searching …… hope he finds that game , would be great for the sport.   No one is more marketable , just needs a major or two.

Those iron shafts are hideous

have you tried them? what is hideous about them?

[getair23]

Do we know which putter made it in the bag this week?  For no good reason I’m hoping he went with one of the Cobra putters.

Watched yesterday and it looked like the silver cobra. Had weights on the bottom.

[bogey534]

interesting to see him back in the graphite iron shafts

[cyr67]

Not enough talk about those MB’s. Get rid of the the orange paint fill and these approach art. And one of the best and most durable black finishes in the biz. He wins with these!

These are one of my all time favorite blades, and agreed it is a durable black finish.

 

The previous generation (no tungsten in the sole) had way to much orange paint fill that kind of killed the look, but the final generation Rickie has checks all the boxes. Definitely art!

Wonder if it will be back in the bag today?

So the stainless 316L putter is 3D-printed and then milled. Pretty interesting.

 

I would suspect this is made with a DMLS process and NOT the bindet jet process Cobra used for the limited release fully 3DP putters. The retail Cobra 3DP putters just use 3DP plastic parts from powder bed machines.

Side note: I work at a 3D printing OEM, so this is fascinating to me

Me too.  I wonder when his contract with cobra is up?

Sorry... I don't get this.  He played well with the Cobras before, as evidenced by the return to the bag of the black (and beautiful!) MB models.  Unless those sticks have changed dramatically while in the closet, going back to something familiar should be a positive.  (And as for ditching Cobra to "try everything out there," doesn't that just open up a can of undecisive worms?)

I don’t know, changing clubs has always been the magic formula for a lot of Wrxers😂Maybe Fowler will try it too?  Looks like he is starting with the putter already…

[PEI_Golfer]

What is this, 2 current line clubs from a full bag?  Ouch, the searching continues.

[TheMoneyShot]

Anyone know what putter RF is using this week?

Swing looked nice and controlled today.  Hope he comes out and does the same thing tomorrow.
