The 3D Printed Lineup

In partnership with HP, Cobra has ventured into 3D printing technology to create their new lineup of Putters. The 3D printed heads allow for greater manipulation of weight distribution, resulting in increased stability. What sets this lineup apart is the addition of changeable weights at the bottom of the head.

This innovative feature enables golfers to customise their Putters according to their preferences and playing style. Each 3D printed Putter comes with a weight pack, ensuring a personalised fit for every golfer.

The Vintage Range

Alongside the 3D printed lineup, Cobra has also released a vintage range of Putters. These Putters maintain the classic design elements that golfers have come to love while incorporating modern technologies for enhanced performance. Just like the 3D printed models, the vintage Putters feature the descending Loft technology on the face, ensuring optimal ball roll and consistent launch. With a variety of shapes and designs to choose from, golfers can find the perfect vintage Putter to suit their style and preferences.

Price and Value

While the new Cobra Putters may not come cheap, their price point is competitive considering the advanced technologies and features they offer. The 3D printed Putters retail at £299, while the vintage Putters are priced at £229. Cobra has made sure that every model in their range is priced similarly, providing golfers with affordable options regardless of their preferred style. Despite the higher price tag, these Putters deliver exceptional value and performance, making them a worthy investment for serious golfers.

Choosing the Right Putter

When it comes to choosing the right Putter, it’s crucial to consider factors such as shape, head design, and personal preference. As mentioned earlier, each golfer has unique needs and playing style, so finding the perfect fit is essential.

One popular choice among the Cobra Putters is the Grand Sport, known for its classic design and stability. With the addition of movable weights and a super stroke grip, the stability of the new range has been further enhanced. The Super Stroke 1.0 pistol grip comes as standard and ensures a comfortable and consistent grip for every golfer.

Final Thoughts

Cobra’s new range of Putters offers golfers a wide range of options to enhance their game. Whether you prefer the innovative 3D printed lineup or the timeless vintage Putters, Cobra has something for everyone. It’s important to give these Putters a chance and compare them to other well-known brands in the market. You might be surprised by the performance and feel they offer. So, the next time you’re in need of a new Putter, consider exploring the Cobra range and experience the difference for yourself.

Introducing the Cobra DarkSpeed Driver for 2024

A Brand to Watch

When it comes to golf brands, Cobra may not have the same marketing power as some of its competitors, but it’s certainly making waves in the industry. Over the past few years, Cobra has consistently produced high-quality drivers, especially in their LS range. The DarkSpeed Driver looks to build upon this success and take it to the next level.

Clean and Simple Design

One of the first things you’ll notice about the DarkSpeed Driver is its clean and simple design. There’s no unnecessary fuss or distractions – just a sleek, minimalistic look that exudes confidence. The small Cobra Crown callout on the top of the driver provides strike location and centre of face information, without being obtrusive or distracting.

The Power of Technology

Underneath the surface, the DarkSpeed Driver is packed with cutting-edge technology to enhance your performance on the course. All heads feature Power Bridge technology, which utilises AI to optimise ball speeds for maximum distance. Additionally, the driver boasts Hot Technology, a face topology that creates 15 sweet spots. Even if you don’t find the exact centre of the face, the Dark Speed Driver will still deliver consistent ball speed and forgiveness.

Choose Your Head

The X head is the standard option, providing a balance of forgiveness and adjustability. The LS head is designed for maximum aerodynamics and club head speed, making it the go-to choice for players of all handicaps. Finally, the Max head offers higher launch and forgiveness, making it ideal for golfers with slower swing speeds.

A Perfect Match

The DarkSpeed Driver comes equipped with the US Link shaft, which is designed to match perfectly with each head. With high, mid, and low kick points, the shaft complements the unique characteristics of each head, ensuring optimal performance.

Putting it to the Test

Now that we’ve explored the features and technology behind the DarkSpeed Driver, it’s time to hit the course and see how it performs in action. Our initial impressions are promising – solid feel, impressive ball speed, and consistent performance. While the LS head stood out with its aerodynamic design and punchy feel, all three heads delivered exceptional results.

The Verdict

The DarkSpeed Driver for 2024 is an absolute hidden gem in the world of golf equipment. Its clean design, advanced technology, and competitive price point make it a standout option for golfers looking to improve their game. We give the Dark Speed Driver a well-deserved score of 39 out of 50.

The New Cobra DarkSpeed Iron for 2024: A Game Improver Iron

Today, we’re excited to introduce the new Cobra DarkSpeed Iron for 2024. This iron is a game improver model, designed to enhance your performance on the golf course.

In this blog, we’ll take an in-depth look at the features and technologies that make this iron a standout choice for golfers of all skill levels.

The Hollow Body Construction

The DarkSpeed Iron features a full hollow body construction, which is a significant shift from its predecessor.

This construction style flows down the set, starting from the 4-iron and continuing to the wedges. The hollow body design allows for increased forgiveness and improved launch conditions, making it an excellent choice for golfers looking to maximise distance and accuracy.

24SS_xGO_Clubs_Darkspeed_OnCourse_Irons_2148
24SS_xGO_Clubs_Darkspeed_OnCourse_Irons_2033

Hot Face and Powershell Technology

Similar to the Cobra driver, the DarkSpeed Iron showcases advanced technologies such as the Hot Face and Powershell. The Hot Face technology provides a large sweet spot and promotes faster ball speeds, resulting in longer shots off the tee. The Powershell technology, on the other hand, enhances face flexion, allowing for a more responsive and powerful impact.

Thinner Face for Enhanced Flexion

One of the standout features of the DarkSpeed Iron is its 21% thinner face compared to the AeroJet model. This thinner face contributes to improved flexion, creating a faster reaction off the face and generating more distance. The engineers at Cobra have carefully designed this iron to maximise performance and provide golfers with the speed and stability they need to excel on the course.

Loft Adjustments for Optimal Performance

Cobra has made significant adjustments to the loft of the Dark Speed Iron to optimise its performance. The loft of the 7-iron, for example, has been weakened, providing golfers with additional distance without sacrificing control. 

By carefully tuning the loft and incorporating the hollow body construction, Cobra has created an iron that offers both distance and forgiveness.

A Comprehensive Range

The DarkSpeed Iron is available in a comprehensive range, catering to both male and female golfers. The range includes graphite shaft options for ladies and left-handed players, as well as steel shaft options for the standard models. The KBS tour light shaft is the default option, known for its versatility and performance.

However, Cobra also offers other shaft options, such as the modus, to cater to individual preferences and fitting requirements.

Putting the DarkSpeed Iron to the Test

We understand that choosing the right iron is crucial for every golfer. That’s why we’re committed to providing you with the information you need to make an informed decision. While the DarkSpeed Iron may not receive the same level of marketing as other brands, its performance speaks for itself. We encourage you to visit a fitting bay and give the DarkSpeed Iron a try. It may just be the perfect iron for your game.

Conclusion

The Cobra DarkSpeed Iron for 2024 is an impressive addition to their lineup.

With its hollow body construction, advanced technologies, and optimised loft, this iron offers golfers a winning combination of distance, forgiveness, and control.

The New Cobra DarkSpeed Driver: A Closer Look

We were recently joined by James Stafford from Cobra Puma golf to discuss the Cobra DarkSpeed family of clubs, Cobra’s latest launch.

About the DarkSpeed

The DarkSpeed driver comes in three different head options: LS, X, and Max.

Each head is designed to cater to golfers of all skill levels. The LS model aims to lower spin and maximise ball flight, while the X model offers the best of both worlds with its adjustable weight system for varying ball flights. Lastly, the Max model is perfect for those seeking maximum forgiveness with adjustable weight manipulation.

TORETTO_X_DRIVER_HERO
TORETTO_LS_DRIVER_HERO

The Technology Behind the DarkSpeed

Let’s dive into the technology behind the DarkSpeed driver. The LS head features Extreme Arrow technology, which involves raising the skirt on the back of the head to create an aerodynamic tunnel. This results in increased swing speeds, making it an ideal starting point for testing and fitting.

All three heads have the Power Shell Face, which stands for Highly Optimised Topology. This innovative feature incorporates 15 sweet spots across the face, ensuring better chances of hitting the ball with precision. Additionally, the Power Bridge technology, located internally near the face, maximises ball speed for all three drivers.

Furthermore, the DarkSpeed driver offers eight different loft settings with its adjustable sleeve. This allows golfers to fine-tune their launch angle and optimise their performance. The LS heads come in 9° and 10.5° options, while the X model offers 9°, 10.5°, and 12° options. The Max head, available through customisation, offers a 9° degree option, along with stock options of 10.5° and 12°.

Shaft Options

The DarkSpeed driver comes with various shaft options to cater to individual preferences. The shafts are colour-coded to match the heads, but it’s important to note that these colours are not mandatory.

Custom fitting is highly recommended to ensure the perfect fit for your swing. The available options include the white shaft with a high kick point, the blue shaft with a mid kick point, and the red shaft with a low kick point.

The Design and Overall Impression

The DarkSpeed driver boasts a sleek and minimalist design. The branding is minimal, with the LS head being completely blacked out, and the Max and X heads featuring subtle red and blue accents, respectively.

Cobra has maintained their signature head shape, providing a familiar look to their loyal customers. The alignment tool, although difficult to see in the dark design, adds another layer of usability.

What sets Cobra products apart is their consumer-friendly approach. The DarkSpeed driver is no exception, offering a simple yet compelling story. It is easy to understand for both consumers and fitters, making it a highly anticipated addition to Cobra’s lineup.

DSC01398
DSC01401
DSC01402

With so many fantastic iron sets and drivers being fitted, you may wonder how a utility iron became our spec of the week, however, with the summer conditions setting in, the ground is allowing the ball to run more and with that we appreciate clubs that are being fit for a particular purpose.

The King Tech utility, constructed with PWRSHELL Face insert offers more distance and the H.O.T Face technology allows for more consistent results with scattered strike locations on the face. 

This club didn’t only offer more distance, but certainly fit the brief in hitting more fairways.

What Our Customers Say

This was the first time ever I've been custom fitted for golf clubs. So I felt a bit nervous and under pressure. But once I got there everyone I came across was very really friendly and professional putting me at ease. The experience was amazing and very helpful putting me in the right direction to reducing my handicap to which I purchased some beautiful clubs irons/hybrid/woods and driver for what I believe to be a very reasonable price. No pressure selling or over selling with clubs you don't need. Only selling you what you need. When my son advances from junior golf clubs to adults I will be taking him straight to AFgolf Yaxley to get custom fitted and if I ever need any other clubs that's the only place I will now go from now on. I would highly highly recommend them to anyone at any level of playing golf

From Custom Fitting To The Golf Course. This blog will give you an insight into what to expect from a fitting and how long it will take to get your new clubs out on the course. 

If you’re thinking about getting new golf clubs for the season ahead, then you may want to consider a custom fitting at AFGolfStore.

Our mission is to encourage every golfer to try a custom fitting session so we can identify the best clubs to match your game.

To ensure you are sold by this experience, we don’t charge, so all golfers have the chance to find the perfect solution for them and their game. 

HOW LONG WILL MY NEW CLUBS TAKE?

We want to offer advice around a frequently asked question. How long will my new clubs take to be delivered and when can I get out on the course with them.

We have three potential routes to take, however, the routes will be determined on your specification and the clubs you require. 

  1. STRAIGHT FROM THE RACK – All of our stores offer a wide range of what we fit in our studios on the displayed racks in store. All golf clubs displayed are standard specification i.e, the lie and length and standard to the manufacturers specifications. With adjustable sleeves, many woods will however be readily available on the day as we can adjust the setting to your specification. However, unless you are of standard spec, you generally won’t be taking this option. 
  2. ORDERED FROM THE MANUFACTURER – If the product you were fit for  isn’t readily available to us then we will order direct with the brand manufacturer.
  3. BUILT BY US, FOR YOU – Located at our Peterborough store, our build centre offers an in-house build service operated by us, for you. We build many of golf’s leading brands.

All three of these options will vary in delivery times. Off the rack, will allow you to take the clubs away on the same day whereas manufacturers lead times constantly vary throughout the year and can range from inside a week to as long as a month. 

However, should your spec fall within the components available at our build centre, then we can offer a 72 hour build service that has you ready for the course with your new clubs in a speedy time.
