Cobra Golf has launched its first full set of 3D-printed irons, the Cobra Limit3D, marking a significant advancement in golf equipment manufacturing. Initially introduced in fall 2020 with the KING Supersport-35 putter, Cobra has continued to refine its 3D printing capabilities, now including a range of more sophisticated multi-material putter models.
The Cobra Limit3D irons, crafted from 316L stainless steel, differ internally from traditional irons that are cast or forged. Utilizing 3D printing, an additive process, these irons feature internal lattice structures that make parts lighter and more durable. According to Cobra, this method allowed for a 33 percent redistribution of weight within the clubhead, incorporating up to 100 grams of tungsten in the toe and heel to enhance the moment of inertia (MOI) and forgiveness.
Vice President of Innovation & AI at Cobra Golf, Mike Yagley, emphasized the technological breakthroughs: “Cobra is always looking for meaningful ways to use new technology to create products with superior performance.” He highlighted the use of Ntop’s software, specifically designed for additive manufacturing, which facilitated the automated design process and rapid prototyping to optimize weight distribution and the overall feel and sound of the clubs.
Despite its groundbreaking design, the Limit3D set is not a mass-market product. Only 500 sets will be available globally. These exclusive sets, available only in right-hand models, will be available for trial starting June 7.
