Video & Pics: Rickie Fowler speaks with GolfWRX at Del Mar Country Club on joining Cobra Golf

[zp13]

Must be rough... "Let's make you some custom proto irons just for you." I don't really think it matters on tour which manufacturer you sign with. If you don't like what they have, they'll make new ones for you.

that is one sweet looking bag

Classic blade design just like I expected! When is the retail release date?
[/quote]

I'm pretty sure that "proto" means there's going be a long wait.
[/quote]

If that's the case then Cobra will miss the boat big time. Strike now while the iron is hot because those current retail amp irons will not sell to the better golfers.
[/quote]

I don't think these will sell to better golfers either. Their past blade offerings haven't sold at all, and that was without flashy colors.
[/quote]

That was then and this is now. Those blades look sweet and I love the lofts on the irons too, almost scratch like...
[/quote]

Couldn't agree more. I remember saying to my wife after the whole Rickie thing took off that I hoped he was getting a cut of the orange color scheme that he was making popular. Last year at the WM Open on the final day I walked into the pro shop and the only thing they were completely out of was Rickie's stuff - particularly the hat.

From a business standpoint, this is definitely the way to launch a new product. Now he just needs to win a few this year

[SPY ZINGER]

I like that Rickie sleeps next to his clubs.

[DeeKK]

Those are some sweet looking blades! I can't wait to hit the entire AMP line!

Thanks for the pics!

[Miura5002]

This is the first set of irons I've seen in a long time that has me interested in purchasing a contemporary set. I'm still buying mint condition Mizuno MP, TN, and MS product and haven't found any iron to date that can hold a candle to those blades. But I'm definitely going to give these a try when available. The driver looks awesome too. Wish there were more pics of the driver as well.

Love the bag. The Puma orange stand bag isn't bad either.

[b][i][u]One hybrid now? Must be 3-9 iron because it looks like 4 Vokey wedges.[/u][/i][/b]
[/quote]

I think the set is 4-9 with 3 wedges, 2 hybrids, a fairway metal & driver + putter, Rickie had some of the clubs with him on the range when I shot the bag.

Looks he must be testing setups, the pic he posted on Twitter shows 14 clubs with two woods and his Adams hybrid. Looks like a Vokey stamped 51 in there too. Assuming hes playing the same Vokey PW at 47 and possibly 51-55-59 too. Kinda surprising as I figured you'd see both Adams hybrids in there...
[/quote]



He has had a 4 Vokey setup since his win in Korea, which was the first week he used that setup. 47*, 51*, 55*, 59*. He said he went to that setup to be more accurate and have more shots from 150 and in...

[JOHN GOLIA]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Nice. Those Irons look Awesome.
Maybe I can sweet talk my Rep.(Yah, wishful thinking)

Thanks for the pics.
Love The GolfWrx Site.

[swanry30]

Hmmm... No offset in those irons. Look GREAT!

[Dscvrr St Louis]

Greg...great pic's and good interview...!!

Irons look awesome!!

Hey Money, I will keep and eye on the Cobra Pre-sale page on the computer and let you know when they pop up on there...!!

And what color options are listed for the paint fill!!

[Chappie]

Everything but the mustache is awesome.

[jeonmin]

Good for Rickie! Hope he plays well and win!

[scratchswinger]

How cool is Rickie emailing picts to an eager fan? Best guy ever!!!

[Agent Jim]

I think they are one the right track with those blades. And you can always take off the paintfill if its not your thing

[budcangolf]

Anyone else notice that he made the switch to IOMIC Sticky 2.3 all black....

[PostandGhost]

Maybe it's just the stamped lofts but they remind me of Ryan Moore's blades from 2010.

[scratchswinger]

The loft and number stamping is so sick.

[gken]

What's with the 'stach?

*takes a look at username*

 

hahaha good one!

I love his split hats, guess ill be shopping for more hats again......just when I thought I was done.

[dbringans]

Good for Rickie,

I'm more of a traditionalist so wouldn't consider wearing any of the hats or clothing he uses, but I must say that he gets the youngsters excited about the game which is great for the future.

From a marketing point of view, the whole Cobra / Puma / Rickie thing seems a perfect fit to me. If this doesn't help shift product for Cobra, nothing will.

Irons look fabulous to me - I would definitely consider buying them (after removing paintfill). Very pleasant muscleback shape and the lack of offset is superb.

Thanks for the pics [b]Greg [/b]and [b]daniel0135[/b]l!

[gprointraining]

Those irons are 710 MB's with different stampings. Have to be. I think Cobra fits Fowler alot better than Titleist ever did.

[JanKo]

Very clean lines, I like them. The raw finish is awesome.

Looks like Zorro or someone from "Dazed and Confused"?

[TheMoneyShot]

Cobra has to be super amped reading this thread.....

[Drumdog]

Great vid and photos !!
Thanks !!

[chucklesmcnasty]

he's still playing the vokeys over the trusty rusty's. figured the wedges would be the easiest for him to move to.

[go cards]

nice irons...wonder if he is still playing vokey's or those new redesigned cobra trusty rusty's?
