Well, well, you bunker-bound boffins and tee-tickling tricksters, COBRA’s 3D Printed TOUR Irons have landed from the future, and they’re zapping my game with more tech than a golf cart tricked out by Tony Stark. Forged via some wizardly 3D printing voodoo, these irons promise forgiveness wrapped in a player’s blade swagger, all for a cool $2,450 per set. I’ve been hacking at balls since my swing was more glitch than grace, so let’s see if these space-age sticks can beam me up to scratch—or just leave me stranded in the rough with a lighter wallet.
Pros
- Weight Efficiency: 33% lighter design redistributes 100 grams for low CG and high MOI, boosting forgiveness.
- Advanced Manufacturing: DMLS 3D printing creates complex lattice structures for enhanced stability and feel.
- Player Appeal: Compact blade size with game-improvement traits suits scratch to mid-handicap golfers.
- Custom Options: Available in 3-iron to gap wedge with various shafts and grips for personalized fitting.
Cons
- High Cost: $2,450 for a 4-PW set reflects premium pricing, exceeding many traditional irons.
- Limited Innovation: Relies on existing LIMIT3D tech, lacking new performance breakthroughs.
- Niche Market: Blade-like design may not attract high-handicap players seeking maximum forgiveness.
- Availability Delay: March 21 release means a wait for immediate adopters as of early March 2025.
The COBRA 3D Printed TOUR Irons, unveiled in February 2025 and available from March 21, 2025, mark the brand’s first full retail release of 3D-printed irons, following the limited-edition LIMIT3D launch in 2024. Priced at $2,450 for a 4-iron to pitching wedge set, they’re crafted using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) from 316 stainless steel, a process that allows for intricate internal lattice structures. Offered with KBS $-Taper 110 steel shafts and Lamkin Crossline grips, custom options include a 3-iron (19 degrees), gap wedge (50 degrees), and various shafts and grips, available in both right- and left-hand configurations.
The design leverages 3D printing to reduce clubhead weight by 33%, enabling COBRA to redistribute up to 100 grams of discretionary weight lower and deeper for a low center of gravity (CG) and high moment of inertia (MOI). This enhances forgiveness while maintaining a compact blade profile, similar in size to the forged KING TOUR irons but with a slightly smaller blade length and thinner topline. The lattice structure also stiffens the clubface, supporting a soft, forged-like feel and fine-tuned acoustics, aiming to appeal to players from scratch to mid-handicap ranges.
COBRA’s innovation builds on the LIMIT3D’s success, which sold out quickly, prompting this broader release. The irons blend game-improvement traits—like higher launch and stability—with the aesthetics and feedback of a player’s iron, validated by pros like Max Homa, who’s testing COBRA 3D-printed prototypes. At $2,450, they’re a premium investment, but the technology promises precision unattainable through traditional forging or casting, positioning COBRA as a leader in additive manufacturing for golf equipment.
