What do we think?? let me know in the comments I'd love to hear what you think...
think the lattice effect is called honeycomb
They are really sharp looking! Huge fan of Cobra and their innovative thinking.
Between you and cool clubs I’m sold. Just wish the price was better.
$$$$$$
Big factor. Making new clubs for average Joe Blow 1 set every 5-10years at best
They get harder and harder to afford...
I never buy this if that honeycomb part catch debris. It seems so difficult to get small debris out of there
I’m 49 and I’ve played cobra thru high school, college, and afterwards I’ve always loved them and thought were always so underrated. I love cobra to this day.
Agreed they love to push the limits of technology innovation. What a sweet idea for the irons... a big push afterntheir putter release few years back?
I agree, I love my one length
@@ivanlevrone247 I’ve always been curious about those. The theory seems sound. My mother is extremely upright over the ball and I’ve thought one length irons might really help her. She’s 70 and I don’t want to mess with her swing too much so I didn’t try it. Instead I got rid of her 3, 4, and 5 iron replaced with hybrids. All cobra of course
Golf needs to start producing high quality irons at a reasonable price - PXG are going that route and will do well
@@crispyduck1706 takomo makes a great iron that’s affordable. There’s a few out there.
New trend set. Cool you got to test them. Seems like a great set.
very insightful review!
Is the net back open? What happens if you get water or sand in there? Weight affected? Beautiful clubs!
I just bought a used set of Mizuno jpx ez forged irons, with Boron in them(2016 version) I'd love to see what you think of them 😁
MSRP $3,000 USD, Set Comp 4-PW (RH only). Custom options available. NOPE, NO WAY!
Should be sub $900.
Do you realize how much it costs to 3D print with metal?
They could only just make a set for that, maybe go and have a look at how obscenely expensive 3D metal printing is and they is for just a basic item.
These look great! hopefully this tech will trickle down into more mainstream sets.
agree!!
Great video!
Damn you got a fabulous move Alex! As for the clubs, I think it's too early to really say. The price will determine how popular they become. With companies like Takomo delivering beautiful irons at an unbelievable low price, they may be a hard sell.
They look great Alex
£2.5 k isn't the end of the world for a set you'd use for 5 + years
Muira are just as expensive
But there's a serious problem out there for every iron /manufacturer this year......
Mizuno 243
I cannot possibly see how anything can be better
Players profile, top line, graduated sole bounce from 4 iron at 2 degrees to GW at 9 degrees
They feel amazingly good
Soft copper underlay and turf interaction is second to none
But they have another trick
225 into a breeze par 3 sloping green from back to front I hit a 4 iron out the toe almost on the chrome.... And it still made it all the way back to the pin and stopped softly
The landing angle on the 243's is very steep and the height is amazing with more spin yet they travel 10 yards further without super jacked lofts
Try them on the course Alex
You'll be flabbergasted
Love the video clubs look beautiful. Love the tech. And it is really fascinating 3D metal printing that you can make something like this now it's just incredible! But let's face it these aren't made for the average Joe every day worker golfer like me. These are a luxury item really cool. But just like a Rolex I ain't going to get one of those either. But heck yeah I love Tech and if I had the money yeah they'd be in my bag. It would be fun to try.😅
Alex.. Great review of these irons.. Did you mention the lofts of the 7 iron?? If so I did not hear it..Thanks..
31°
31!
Love the idea, love the look, price point, like PXG, I will wait for the look at me crowd to spend 3k for the first 5 years, then I will grab the same set for 600$
Or maybe the “I like these clubs and I can afford them” crowd?
@@mickh5946 LMAO, apparently you aren't affected by Bidens economy!!
PXG has come way down in price.
Maybe you are just broke in comparison
@@AegirWatches Nope, just don't buy into the hype and the look at me crowd. I enjoy my Mizuno's that are 15 years old, I play in the mid 80's without using a handicap. I see guys rolling up with their $5,000 sets and shank balls into the water all day long.
stunning sounds fantastic
Well it doesn't matter if I want them or not. Chances are influencers and the "in club" will get them. I'd actually buy them as a 15 handicap who's only ever owned Cobra. I started with Cobra transitional, then bought the RAD Speeds full set. I'd be the only one (if able to purchase) who would actually play them and not use them to garner views or put them on the wall as a trophy.
Cobra has been doing 3D for years now, and tour players with them on tour for at least a few years. This irons is killer, got to see one in person. Cost is high because it is new tech.
Nobody on tour has used a full set of cobra 3D clubs, cobra have only done 3D printed inserts etc until now, this is their first fully printed head.
I just got a set of Forged Tech X irons. They look good, feel good and give me lots of help with a higher trajectory. I’m very happy with them. Cobra is on a nice run of making great irons for a wide variety of players. I’m sure these new ones are fabulous but I have a hard time figuring out where performance improvements will come from. By definition, they’re not forged but who knows what 3D printing can do.
316 steel is surgical steel. Also used in watches
I can’t wait for these to make their way to mass retail in a couple years.
I really like the looks
I absolutely love this channel. Your energy and enthusiasm is unmatched. You use the word scared quite a bit though and I feel like that might not be the word. Maybe start using the word motivate. Clubs like this will motivate the other companies to do better but I don't think any of them really get scared or petrified or any of these words like you use but I understand they are buzzwords
thank you!! and thanks for the feedback
These irons look prettyful... If there are only 500 sets made, they'll go real quick... Would Joe Public be able to get a set, fitted and gapping done? Sound pretty expensive...
Fantastic set of clubs and will improve every type of golfer your handicap should drop like the decent angle created by these clubs. Amaze your playing partners and make them green with envy. Give me a job (and a demo set) Cobra selling these irons (it will be hard work) 😁
Alongside the Darkspeed, Cobra have the best looking clubs this year.
Price is a bit of a problem, so I’ll just have to wait for the plebs edition a few years down the line 😅
If I am not able to get a set of the Cobra irons over here in the states, would you be willing to sell yours to me? Hoping they are a regular shaft. Let me know please. Now, back to your review, thanks.
This could recover their one length line. The ability to move weight around to make the right ball flight is great to have.
People forget this is a first consumer limited proof of concept. No doubt they will be pricey.
That is a very good looking club.
Those irons are about 2 degrees too much offset for me. Let's connect and play a match my brother? Where are you located?
We have definitely not maxed out all other possibilities. However, we are absolutely going to have more and more 3D printed clubs as well as 3D printed clubs are going to be able to be produced faster and enmass. It's just an obvious next step.
How do you clean out that lattice? I don't like plaques, badges, rubber, plastic pieces on back as they get banged and dirty and are hard to clean. Looks like they left that part open to show the inside. I would have put a clear epoxy on that part to keep it sleek and clean.
True!
@@HowGoodGolf try cleaning the ltdx irons!
If these are anywhere near affordable they will kill it. Look awesome
They are $3000
Looks like Cobra snake skin😁very cool
Got to say they look awesome
Best looking iron of the year if it can live up to the hype will be a game changer for Cobra
it could well be …
Wanted to know how to get a hold of you to send you some high end gear to test.
please email alex@alexelliottgolf.co.uk
was the back lattice area enclosed or open? if open after a few months of dirty courses, i wonder how much extra weight in dirt you would have in the back of the head...that you cant remove because its deep in the lattice
open
Concratz on the New Ferrari! Looks like youtube is paying off! Good work.
That is one sexy iron! Love what they have done with this!❤
It’s a beauty
@@HowGoodGolf and looks like it's preforming well also
Looks great, but I can only wonder if I would pay that much. How much would it really change my game???
Let’s be honest, most of us would be far better off spending on extra lessons rather than buying any new clubs, but we still buy new irons, drivers, hybrids, putters in the hope that they will be the magic ingredient to fix our game 😂
Thanks for the review. What's the loft on the Limited 3D 7-iron...and what's the stock shaft?
31° and KBS $ taper 120s
I just need larger holes 😬 nice looking though
Why would pay that much for essentially a prototype? Very nice though!
That lattice looks like a dirt magnet to me, especially if it goes all the way inside the club.
ABS, traction control, etc only came on the high end cars at first. Now all have it. Have the people that can afford it pay for the technology and development until it's more affordable to mass produce. Same concept.
316 stainless used a lot in watch cases....easy to polish and quite scratch resistant......
Did you mention the shaft? Maybe I missed that
yes
Don’t get me wrong the holy grail is how to get super game improvement iron with a forged feeling and maybe this can gets closer than anything before but you can get one or the other pretty easily and heck Kirkland’s knockoff of p790 gets pretty damn close as well
reminds me of the 0317 T. I've been demoing the 0317 T and I'm impressed. been tough to decide between them and blueprint s
Try the PXG 0317 CB. Much better than the T.
@@JD-tv7ci I've played both. Have you hit the T yet?? I know a few KF Tour players putting the T in the bag. one even just one with it in his bag!
Wait ...didnt Cobra use 3d printing at the back of their ltdx irons?
First fully printed head. Up until now cobra have only printed inserts
316 is some sort of medical grade stainless steel
£2500=$3150 … exclusive doesn’t quite describe it; it’s eye-wateringly exclusive. But, 40” HDTV in 2004 was $5000+. Now you can get one for $150. And, I am sure, there will be no lefty love.
Seems like they have hot spots ...Why would you want that in an iron unless you don't mind being 20 yards over the green sometimes..
Every other test says they are the most consistent club they have hit for years
Yum!
Alex another question for you. I know the lattice on the back of the iron is open, does that mean dirt, sand and grass can get inside the iron itself?? What about water when you go to clean the club as well? I am sure the engineers took all that into account before design. Thanks.
I haven’t used it enough to say it will but i can imagine it could be a problem
that back 3d printed lattice/honeycomb area looks like a pain to clean
That was my first thought. I think that pick like thing in the box was a cleaning too for that backside.
Usually the club face gets the most dirt, but seeing as they aren’t making a left hand set there might be the odd lefty who will give these a try 😃
Is a pitch repair tool 😂
316 SS is good grade tends to be a bit softer !!
1st impressions.... cleaning the lattice on the back of the club
Love the concept. Hoping this means the cost of irons could go down in the next 5 years or so. Great looking clubs but I would never get to play these lol.
3D printing of metal is crazy expensive, they will never be cheap
That lattice work surely is going to get mud imbedded into it, especially in the winter ?
That lattice will be a nightmare to keep clean.
I gonna keep my Radspeed
When I get a million dollar swing, I'll get million dollar clubs.
Limited edition and 3K for 4 thru pw
Dang if I didn't just get my P770s id give these a go. They look like a similar shape and size right?
And yes it’s Marketing , it’s about the $
That is to resemble snakeskin
Only 500 sets made. How much?? Yikes
Problem is the price
What’s the loft of the 7 iron? Did i miss it in the video?
yeh it was included i can’t exactly remneber now!
Love the new tech. Cobra is always pushing the boundaries and kind of flying under the radar. That said, $2000 is absolutely insane.
But a set of p790’s with a copper finish for 1650 isn’t??
@@samuelknott5586not sure what that has to do with anything but sure…whatever.
Got dayum
oh no, that lattice pattern had been around 30 years ago!
The lattice is the 3D printing, the whole club looks like that underneath.
That's the sexiest looking Iron I've ever seen .....
Was curious with your pants do you get them tailored like that or is there a brand that you wear that is short like that I’m 5 foot 7 trying to find pant like that
Top line looks so thick
Still expensive! They won’t be cheap until others produce them and there is competition.
Is Cobra going to offer this iron in a one length set?
Cut to the chase please… 1/3 of this video was just on repeat…
Get used to it. I suppose these guys get paid to love every club they fawn over. I'm more interested in the reality of a club
than the town crier making a living.
if i had a nickel for every time he said, "I have no idea what to expect"
Did you just jump like a freakn ballerina? Oh my
absolutely 🕺🏼
Mate, material science never ends there will always be new alloys found
Is this Cobra saying this is how good we can make irons if you can afford them, unfortunately if only a small percentage of golfers can afford them so most golfers won’t take a second look.
Titleist CNCPT is the same thing, very expensive but the tech in them has bled into the T series, it'll come down in price in the next 1 or 2 generations
Speak for yourself my boy
The more that technology advances it will get cheaper. The metaljet printers are currently super expensive to operate. We also have to pay for the marketing freebies they send "influencers"
$4200.00 CDN! 4-PW!! Not a chance...lol. Insane. 7 clubs @ $600CDN each + taxes
Looks like honeycomb!!!
316L SS is a super common Stainless Steel. Its just a slightly lower carbon content then regular 316SS making it slightly more rust resistant. Nothing special there...
Irons look cool and thanks for sharing but really 1/500 so not really that big a deal… need to come up with some better thumbnails imo.
The best forgiving iron is the one you hit out of the center of the clubface. If you want to get better work on your game with purposeful practice. You don’t need new clubs!
But I have loads of money to spend so if I want, I buy 🍆💦
Yet 90% of tour pros have moved from blades to more forgiving irons I wonder why? Oh that’s right, it’s impossible to hit it out the middle every time and only a idiot would take something that helped when it happens.
$3000 per set huh? These golf companies have lost it.
Collectors item. Resale price likely to exceed initial Cobra price
I play Cobra and love Cobra, but 3D printing is a fad that people will not pay a premium for. They should have learned from their putters
I’ve recently calculated that since 1976, along my 48 year sojourn in golf, just over 4800 rounds of golf, over 40 sets of irons, 25 sets of woods (incl driver) and another 30 drivers alone; to that well over 70 putters and at least 50 various wedges.
That’s well over $100,000 and including balls, golf wear, shoes, etc. I’d estimate well over two hundred thousand dollars spent on golf.
For 46 years I’ve hovered around a 7 handicap. Every new thing that promised I’d get to my scratch handicap goal was in my bag as soon as available. If all the driver distance claims were true, I’d be hitting 350 yards at age 70.
Honestly, equipment hasn’t made much of a difference in my game. Sure, mailbox size drivers today are longer and forgiving compared to a 250cc MacGregor Tommy Armour 693 but at 27 I carried a Titleist balata 240, just 10 short of the tour average.
Today I can just barely roll it out there with a 40g stiff shafted graphite on my TSi3 driver. (See, I haven’t bought a driver in a few years.)
I gave up my Mizuno and Titleist blades a few years ago and brought out what I thought were among the most unattractive irons I’d ever seen but promised forgiveness and distance.
I’ve been playing the Ping Rapture V2J for two years now and these 15 year old irons are likely what I’ll exit with.
These new Cobras look great. Would I like to have a set? Sure. Would my scores improve? I don’t believe so. I’d pay $10,000 a set if they’d guarantee I’d get to scratch.
But like new cars, it feels great to have one.
Btw if my first equipment purchase of around $1000 was invested in say Berkshire-Hathaway it’d be worth over $15 million today.
But my adventures in golf were worth it.
If you can afford these Cobras, get ‘em.
It’ll feel good.
Fairways and Greens!

I thought 3-D printing saved cost…
You thought wrong. 3D printing metal is ridiculously expensive
honeycomb not lattice,
How does the guy on the other channel also have 1 of 500?
Don’t think the face could be 3D printed because 3D printed materials have a lot of porosity and won’t be strong enough for the face. The body is 3D printed but face has to be forged.
Nope. The whole head is one piece 3D printed surgical grade steel.
@@samuelknott5586 you are wrong.
Looks like tons of dirt will get trapped in there
$3000 US...holy cow and I thought PXGs were expensive. Yea, no.
$3000 for the same performance as a T150
You can buy a Tesla for $120,000 that will beat a $500.000 Ferrari. What’s your point??
Cobra launched right after Bryson Dechambeau played the Avoda irons. Yes I know cobra has been researching and making prototypes. AVODA IS BETTER AND A THIRD OF THE PRICE. Support Bryson Dechambeau in this adventure
