Yeah. TXG has huge praises for the Supernova. And the 3D printing helps shed some weight so they can tinker with tungsten weights for better MOI. Both Rick and TXG nailed the big plus: the SIK face is....sick.
@@AmarHujan And anyone interested in the more scientific aspect of it will go to TXG (hopefully) because that test was fantastic. Rick's test while valid, wasn't the most scientific.
@@hurfdurfy8167 I wonder if the sound he wasn’t liking, sounded fine on video and I’m not picky nor would let it deter me from a putter, is a result of the nylon and 3D printing that help increase the MOI and forgiveness
Agreed. I’m 26 and like black and neon colors along with mallet and weirdly designed putters. From what I’m seeing online the 3-D printed ones are going for $350 so that’s going to be a no from me
34 here and I love the look of them. My biggest question is how much of a toe hang do these putters have because that's my biggest issue with my current putter is to much toe hang and it constantly has me pulling my putts.
@@nucphyschem1 I know from txgs review that the supernova has none but I want to say 20 degree from just my memory. It's not that much from what I understood. Hope that helps
@@Kenweng04 Sadly it doesn't really help because I have no clue what the toe hang amount is on my current putter is because it was my first putter from a starter set which had no real specs on it that I remember
This is the most exciting change in putters in a while. Watching multiple reviews on the 3D printed ones, especially the Agera and the supernova, they are showing crazy levels of forgiveness on strike. For an average golfer, this is huge. It's enough hype for me to try out the supernova and I haven't changed putters in years. Really excited to get it in and play some rounds with it.
@@swisstrader Back in your stance,forward,off the heel or toe,it doesnt matter,it always comes out running flat and true,,,anything after that is down to me :)
@@tankeater ehhh rubbish. Bettinardi, Piretti, Evnroll and many others are just as good if not better than Scotty. Hell, Ben Hogan and Maltby make incredibly well made putters for half the price. No one gives a damn, Scottys outsell them all 10 to 1. Tiger is what makes the Scotty name, and only Tiger. People will convince themselves of anything if Tiger bags it for decades.
I showed my wife the nova how it picks up the ball and she was like I should get that for you so I might have that club soon although I will have to test it out before I put it in my bag! Thanks Rick your videos are awesome!
I just recently bought the Cobra Agera in the only place in SE Tennessee you can buy such things and try before you buy, Golf World, Chattanooga, Tennessee. I went in with three older putters to trade, but left them in the car in case I didn't find anything. And full disclosure, the putting green area inside the Golf World is jaded just a hair...you will putt better there, just like their simulators are set at 110%, so you hit your clubs further. Everyone knows it, and buys accordingly. I started putting with any putter I could find on the rack that was not a blade. Like you, Rick, I am not a blade putter person. I went through Ping, Taylormades, Scotty Camerons, a few used off brand trade-ins they had there, even tried a rare Bettenardi that was about a half-mallet. Then I spotted the Cobra rack, kind of off to the side. In it was about ten putters of the type you showed, and one of the Agera Palm Spring Series models, which was much more expensive. Started with the Pal Spring Agera right off, and I just knew right away, and the roll proved it, this thing can be extremely forgiving. I sunk a LOT of putts in the next five minutes. And I really wanted the Palm Tree one, since I am retired US Navy, and their colors are the same, Royal Blue and Gold. By the way, later they told me the Agera putters have started flying off the shelf, and the Palm Spring model, they only get one or two every couple months, and they go fast. Mine had been in the store only a few short days. I was in a simple collared shirt and jeans, and I asked the guy how much, and he looked at me and said they are "kind of expensive"...(Just what I wanted him to do). I said "How much?" He looked it up, $449 US for the Palm Tree Agera. (To put this in context, my recent purchase of a Cobra LTD King was $499, but my score cards show 40% of my strokes as putts - You do the math!) I asked if he took trades...He said yes, cautiously...I went to my car and brought in my old Evnroll E7 CS, an Odyssey Tank Cruiser, and a rare Nike Drone 2.0 set up like Dechambeau putts, with an armlock grip. To say he was a bit surprised was something I enjoyed. He looked them all up, and said he would give me $200 in trade, almost to the dollar what I had in them. Done deal..Three putters and $250 later, I owned the Palm Spring Agera... I love the Agera. Brought it home, sinking everything on my carpet and putter return unit...Can't wait to get out with my buddies and show it off. OUTSTANDING on mishits. Just like you on those 60 footers, It may not go in, but the dreaded three-putt is off the table with the Agera. Highly recommended!
I put the nova putter in my bag and I can't believe how much it helped my short game. I get much more feel on my putts and can just trust my line knowing the face technology is going too help it roll smother. I love this putter. Absolutely nailed it. The silver on the higher 3d printed models I'm not a fan of however. It's just too distracting and shines in the sun. The matte black is definitely the way too go. Easier too focus and trust your putt. Overall, cobras new face technology is revolutionary.
Too bad inventory is SOLD out because everyone and their moms is deciding to play! Haha. It's crazy! Is even Private courses are over booking due to this. Crazzzzy
@@coltoncyr2283 here in rural ohio its the same 5 golf courses in close proximity and they are full up and demanding tee times when they never had them before it was just show up and play its insane
nova/supernova look amazing to me. if I didn't already have a odyssey #7, I'd be running down to the shop to try one. heck, I still might. cobra are doing a good job sucking me into their range at every turn.
I have 2 of these. The standard agera (son uses it now), and the agera, but went to an armlock w/ jumbomax 17. It's not leaving the bag unless the LAB DF3 armlock can out perform it. (When i can possibly afford it, but that's me)
Just bought the Supernova and putting lights out with it on my perfect practice putting mat. Will see if it behaves this weekend on real greens, but quite impressed thus far.
I like the shape of the Agera as it resembles the TM Spyder, which I carry in my bag and absolutely love, but I feel the top surface should also be flat black with white alignment markings - I could never get used to the brushed silver top plate! Also, I couldn’t agree with you more about the white painted lines and attention to detail!
My money says the Nova is going in the bag. At least for a while. It's the only one of the range so far that will allow you to get at the Sik face, which you really like. It will deliver!
Used one today and it's the best putter I've used in recent years, lovely feel and very stable. They're onto a winner with these as far as I'm concerned. Definitely going in my bag.
@@stevecole9546 I am very interested. At first I thought the Nova was what I was looking at... The longer I have to wait for the lefties to become available I am starting to think the forgiveness and MOI of the agura and supernova may be worth a look.
I’m gonna say this once and I don’t want to have to repeat myself. PUTT WITH A COBRA PUTTER. The face is excellent ans the best in golf. High end kbs shaft and quality grips for a nice touch.
Yeah seems as though many golf manufacturers are more concerned with getting products quickly to market rather than doing the due diligence on QC. Callaway had issues with carbon heads cracking years ago (and maybe still do) and ever since the M5 driver line came out the it’s seemed to me that TM likes leaving jagged edges on their carbon crowns. Seen many people remark about all these reviews and materials being put out for these putters. Always have to remember, the more a product is marketed towards you the more likely the manufacturer wants you to overlook obvious faults in design/quality. Guess we’ll see with this line of putters.
Holy crap, that is horrendous. It looks like the bottom piece was a reject or somewhat melted and they used it anyway. I really hope Rick or someone at Cobra sees your comment.
To have access to product pre-launch and sometimes months before launch to film these reviews they are usually pre-production samples. It will be interesting to see the final quality in-store of the production models when it comes to multi-material construction.
Rick mentioned the attention to detail... check out at 08:30 where the bottom piece does not line up with the top on the left hand side. I do like the Sport-45 vintage.
Picked up a Nova today and boy was I impressed. I never even knew about any of tech or backstory in the putters and I never tried a cobra putter until today. I just went straight by feel and the nova beat out Odyssey, Ping, and all the Scotty’s I threw at it. Blown away, it’s currently in the bag!
Lemme tell ya, I am not traditionally a fan of putters with a huge head. I took ahold of the Cobra King Agera at the store and was absolutely blown away by the feel and speed control. 90 day satisfaction guarantee so he’ll with it, grabbed it. Well, they are NOT getting this thing back!! What an amazing putter!! Between my new LTDx driver, fairway3, and hybrid 5 and now this putter, I am seriously impressed with the advancements Cobra has made. Love it. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Rick, I just watched your video from 3 years ago about your Volvik Golf Balls review and I think you should do a challenge with Pete or one of your buddy. You assign each ball color to a different club (example: red/driver, blue/SW, green/5iron, etc). The balls are then tossed into a bag, each of you choose one ball blindly from the bag, and which ever color you pick, you have to play that club assigned to it for that shot. The next shot, you throw the ball back in the bag, and go again until one of you hole out. It would be a pretty fun challenge playing this against someone. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I actually like them, and really think it’s kind of one of cobra’s things to push the envelope and try new things. I think we will see other companies at least 3D printing parts for clubs soon (if they aren’t already). I bet their engineers love it, being able to design, print, and test multiple designs with multiple materials in house.
I personally like the look of the new putters, but I am a cobra fan boy. I agree with your opinion on the paint tho, if they can’t get that right what else could be wrong??
@@chabbydrew Preorders always suck in people. Those people will probably have a decent percentage becoming resellers in the near future. When it doesn't look good next to their Scotty collection, they'll want rid of it. lol
I appreciate the honesty. Being a tech person, you’re probably right in the sound of the 3D printed putter, and likely there is a ton of room for improvement.
I gotta say I am really impressed by how Cobra is improving in the last number of years. If I had the $$ to spend on a new putter I'd be getting one of their new 3-d printed putters myself, really like the looks and technology.
i got the supernova second hand. i love the feel and how it rolls. the feedback you know if you have not hit it right with sound and feel. weekend just gone i had 6 one putts with longest 38 feet away and 4 lip outs which was human error on reading the green. the roll from this putter is the best i have seen in years.
I think the biggest thing for Cobra is the partnership with Sik. It gives you an affordable price point and more head options than the regular Sik putter lineup.
Great idea.... But the 3D printed putters look just badly assembled.... Visible gaps between the component parts where clearly there shouldn't be The vintage collection looks much better...Testing will tell
I'd love to see more videos if kind of Mid range, or quality budget putters. Just thinking about the Wilson Staff Infinite range, Cleveland Soft, Benross putters etc, I guess many people who are as bad as me are interested in what you get for your money and from a practical perspective do we go for a used premium putter or a shiny new more budget option? Keep up the great work!!
Bought a new Ping Heppler. Came supplied with a ding in it and half falling apart and affordable Golf won’t accept it back. I’ll take the dodgy painted lines any day LOL good review as always Rick.
Bravo Mr Shiels, I watched James Robinson's review on these. Loved it, but not as much as I did watching the king of UA-cam golf smash yet another putter review out of the park. They are unique putters, fore left himself has nothing on u. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see you and Pete go at it again. God bless you sir
I think I like the looks of them. Especially the classic ones. I could get used to the 3d line but like Rick says the busy design elements and the clicky sound may ruin it. The SIK face could definitely help someone like me and I'm pretty certain the SIK branded putters go for more money. They might just have something here, and as their brand continues to get more popular I'm sure a lot of people will try this line of putters. Cobra seems to be trendy and popular right now especially with younger golfers. Great review.
Rick, the Grandsport 35 also come is armlock optin. I know, cos I ordered one last week :-) Im in New Zealand, and had to get it sent from the States. I took up golf last year and converted from Taylormade to Cobra, their woods are amazing. Interested to see how the putter goes
Just started playing golf, and wanted a forgiving putter. I tried a whole bunch of putters in the store, and my fave were the Cobra Agera, and Odyssey triple track 2. So much forgiveness, and a nice soft feel on both of them. But the Agera looked cooler to me, and had a slightly softer feel so I went with that!
I always love Ricks reviews. The only Thing that really sets me off, is the HEVY focus on the looks! Shure the most simple thing should be, to get the paintjob right, but other than that, we, seeing him regularly reviewing clubs, meanwhile know that he loves the "classic" appearance of golf clubs. whatever looks a bit more "techie" basically gets a F on the looks. But in the end, if there is nothing actually disturbing you when looking down on the club, what aktual difference does it make for the test? Of course, those 3d printed Putters look absolutely sick...also when looking down. ;) But the real question for us out here, in my opinion, is, if the club performs. About the looks everyone can make his or her own opinion. The same above translates to the "Sound" portion. Wich, for me, is something to get used to, instead of choosing my Equipment around it. (As long as it sounds roughly like a golf ball getting hit by a golf club...) Sure, Rick is a much better Golfer, than I will ever be, and I totally trust his expertise in the performance category, but sometimes I just get irritated, by how much it seems to be important to him, how a specific club should look or sound like, instead of focusing on the strengths and the weaknesses in the performance department. Just imagine someone who played a good portion of his golf life with wooden clubs, arguing about the looks, sound and feel of those pesky new metal clubs...
John daly is the only one I’ve ever been interested in since Greg Norman. Lee Westwood did a video with Wayne radar Riley and theres more charisma in a three day old slice of pizza than lee Westwood. I like him, but Christ, he seems like hard work. Unless he’s drier than the Sahara……
@@sandersson2813 yeah zach Johnson, bubba w.... Yuk Maybe I was a bit harsh, like I said he seems ultra dry and I do like him but he doesn't look like he likes being involved in these light hearted videos.
Hello Rick. Love your channel and have been watching a really long time. You've come such a long way. I'm sure you can remember those who helped you in the beginning. That said, there's a guy who's channel is NickDoesGolf. he seems like a really good guy and I can tell he has a whole lot of potential for growth. He's somewhere near you in England. He's at about 2.5k subs right now. I think you should reach out to him now while he's starting to maybedo a collaboration video or something. I'm sure you wouldn't be sorry. Man, those cobra putters sure look awesome! I like the middle version of the 3d printed the best, but I personally also kinda like the 1st one too.
Must be good putters, Rick is actually making some putts
easy big fella... lol
This man woke up and decided to choose violence 🤣
That right there is a violation
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 😂 😂
Me: The nova is kinda ugly
Rick: The nova is beautiful
Me: The nova is beautiful
Ain’t that the truth 😂 I feel ya on that one
Cobra CEO watching this…….picks the phone up…….”send Dave from the painting department to my office immediately”
🤣🤣🤣
Rubbish paintwork hasn't stopped TM putters selling.
I'm pretty sure these are all made in China...?
Not just the painting dept., did you see that gap in heel on the GrandSport-35.
Fair enough, the concerns on everything else arise when simple stuff like painting straight lines is so sloppy
Why isn’t your putting this good in your break 75’s 😂
he ain't putting with these putters? Could it be?
no warm up?
Hitting the same putt multiple times helps
Multiple takes.
Clearly Rick hasn't been putting with these in Break 75
I tried out the cobra putters at the PGA tour superstore and I actually really liked them. My favorite was the 3D printed AGERA.
TXG says the Supernova is the most forgiving putter they've ever tested. I think it's a good move. Risky, but I think they did it the right way.
A review like that from TXG is worth its weight in gold. The risk will pay off
Yeah. TXG has huge praises for the Supernova. And the 3D printing helps shed some weight so they can tinker with tungsten weights for better MOI. Both Rick and TXG nailed the big plus: the SIK face is....sick.

I bought the Superova on Monday,and selling my Scotty Furura because of it,by far the best putter ive ever owned,by a long way.
Same for me....putting very well with it on my putting mat and headed to the course this weekend to see how it plays. Exciting

Get a foot in the market and then revise pricing.
“Almost like an Odyssey no. 7” - identical actually.

I bet their engineers love it, being able to design, print, and test multiple designs with multiple materials in house.
I personally like the look of the new putters, but I am a cobra fan boy. I agree with your opinion on the paint tho, if they can’t get that right what else could be wrong??
Really like the look of the stingray, and of course it's the only one you didn't have 🙄
I will get one next year when they are half the price.... they wont sell well now but will be popular in a couple years
Just so you know... most models are already sold out on Cobras site... they ARE selling quite well already for preorders!
@@chabbydrew Preorders always suck in people. Those people will probably have a decent percentage becoming resellers in the near future. When it doesn't look good next to their Scotty collection, they'll want rid of it. lol
Uhm. Wrong! I went to 2 different PGA Superstores trying to find one of these and all were sold out.
wow love the look off all them
Love Cobras look! Definitely gonna check out the putters
I appreciate the honesty. Being a tech person, you’re probably right in the sound of the 3D printed putter, and likely there is a ton of room for improvement.
I'm hyped that Cobra has been working with new technology, push the sport forward!
I gotta say I am really impressed by how Cobra is improving in the last number of years. If I had the $$ to spend on a new putter I'd be getting one of their new 3-d printed putters myself, really like the looks and technology.
These putters are really great. I was demoing them vs Ping. 100% would go with the Cobra
I just tested the Grandsport model today and ordered it. It felt great to me.
I love that blade putter. Looks sweet
Bought mine after trying all of them out, love it.
Picked up the Vintage 45 to match my Radspeed set. Love the grip and face. Time and hopefully less 2 and 3 putts will tell!
i got the supernova second hand. i love the feel and how it rolls. the feedback you know if you have not hit it right with sound and feel. weekend just gone i had 6 one putts with longest 38 feet away and 4 lip outs which was human error on reading the green. the roll from this putter is the best i have seen in years.
Feeling the vibes on this nugget
Very interesting, I am stuck on thinking about the Axis putters and their balance concept, seems to make the most sense....
A little 3D printing might have come in handy on 18 at Kingsbarns. Good job, mate!
Awesome video not keen on the look of the Agera putter, though my putter usually asks me for forgiveness every time I throw the Damn thing 😅
Tried 6 or 7 different putter brands today at the pga superstore these are definitely worth trying, ended up walking out with the Nova
A great vid once again Rick. Thanks for the info
I think the biggest thing for Cobra is the partnership with Sik. It gives you an affordable price point and more head options than the regular Sik putter lineup.
Supernova is a great putter. Incredibly stable.well balanced. Nice weight. My 2nd favorite next to the Rose AXIS putter
I picked up an old Teardrop putter for $5. Basically Descending Loft Technology. Feels surprisingly good too.
Thanks for an awesome review Rick. I'll stick with my Odyssey S7. I'd try the Agera.
Great review as always
The vintage Sport-45 is 👌
Great idea.... But the 3D printed putters look just badly assembled.... Visible gaps between the component parts where clearly there shouldn't be
The vintage collection looks much better...Testing will tell
Great music in the background. Great editing on the video. Ofcourse the putting skill is awesome Rick. Keep it up.
I'd love to see more videos if kind of Mid range, or quality budget putters. Just thinking about the Wilson Staff Infinite range, Cleveland Soft, Benross putters etc, I guess many people who are as bad as me are interested in what you get for your money and from a practical perspective do we go for a used premium putter or a shiny new more budget option? Keep up the great work!!
Bought a new Ping Heppler. Came supplied with a ding in it and half falling apart and affordable Golf won’t accept it back. I’ll take the dodgy painted lines any day LOL good review as always Rick.
Bravo Mr Shiels, I watched James Robinson's review on these. Loved it, but not as much as I did watching the king of UA-cam golf smash yet another putter review out of the park. They are unique putters, fore left himself has nothing on u. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see you and Pete go at it again. God bless you sir
I think I like the looks of them. Especially the classic ones. I could get used to the 3d line but like Rick says the busy design elements and the clicky sound may ruin it. The SIK face could definitely help someone like me and I'm pretty certain the SIK branded putters go for more money. They might just have something here, and as their brand continues to get more popular I'm sure a lot of people will try this line of putters. Cobra seems to be trendy and popular right now especially with younger golfers. Great review.
The vintage one looked very nice apart from the paint obviously. Love the idea of the SIK face :))
Well done Rick
I live ur vids and reviews
They are top notch
id call the argara "the transformer" or "Optimus Prime"
I'm on that same kid track with a 7, 5, and 3 year old, Rick. Kudos to keeping the game sharp with the full house!
Rick, the Grandsport 35 also come is armlock optin. I know, cos I ordered one last week :-) Im in New Zealand, and had to get it sent from the States. I took up golf last year and converted from Taylormade to Cobra, their woods are amazing. Interested to see how the putter goes
Super Nova has a great look and i love the sound, it sounds much better then the scotty Cameron putters.
Im using the 3d printed putter Ping came out with this year, and i'm loving it more than my Scotty. Very forgiving, draining lots of putts this year.
Give the cleveland HB soft putters a try, they are fairly cheap and i love mine so far, i wish more people took a look at cleveland, they are quality
Just started playing golf, and wanted a forgiving putter. I tried a whole bunch of putters in the store, and my fave were the Cobra Agera, and Odyssey triple track 2. So much forgiveness, and a nice soft feel on both of them. But the Agera looked cooler to me, and had a slightly softer feel so I went with that!
I always love Ricks reviews. The only Thing that really sets me off, is the HEVY focus on the looks! Shure the most simple thing should be, to get the paintjob right, but other than that, we, seeing him regularly reviewing clubs, meanwhile know that he loves the "classic" appearance of golf clubs. whatever looks a bit more "techie" basically gets a F on the looks. But in the end, if there is nothing actually disturbing you when looking down on the club, what aktual difference does it make for the test?
Of course, those 3d printed Putters look absolutely sick...also when looking down. ;) But the real question for us out here, in my opinion, is, if the club performs. About the looks everyone can make his or her own opinion.
The same above translates to the "Sound" portion. Wich, for me, is something to get used to, instead of choosing my Equipment around it. (As long as it sounds roughly like a golf ball getting hit by a golf club...)
Sure, Rick is a much better Golfer, than I will ever be, and I totally trust his expertise in the performance category, but sometimes I just get irritated, by how much it seems to be important to him, how a specific club should look or sound like, instead of focusing on the strengths and the weaknesses in the performance department.
Just imagine someone who played a good portion of his golf life with wooden clubs, arguing about the looks, sound and feel of those pesky new metal clubs...
Hey Rick when will we start seeing some more pga tour player collabs?????
Hopefully never, fucking boring.
@@sandersson2813 yeez
John daly is the only one I’ve ever been interested in since Greg Norman.
Lee Westwood did a video with Wayne radar Riley and theres more charisma in a three day old slice of pizza than lee Westwood.
I like him, but Christ, he seems like hard work.
Unless he’s drier than the Sahara……
@@Daniel189HLL I'd say Westwood was one of the more interesting guys. Try the turgidness of Woods, Spieth, all the god squad boys etc
@@sandersson2813 yeah zach Johnson, bubba w.... Yuk
Maybe I was a bit harsh, like I said he seems ultra dry and I do like him but he doesn't look like he likes being involved in these light hearted videos.
I have a Cobra king F7 one lenght irons set and I really like it !
Thanks for the look at these putters from COBRA Rick, I like the looks of them.
All the lattice type work on the 3d putters would drive me nuts when sand or grass gets in it.
Hello Rick. Love your channel and have been watching a really long time. You've come such a long way. I'm sure you can remember those who helped you in the beginning. That said, there's a guy who's channel is NickDoesGolf. he seems like a really good guy and I can tell he has a whole lot of potential for growth. He's somewhere near you in England. He's at about 2.5k subs right now. I think you should reach out to him now while he's starting to maybedo a collaboration video or something. I'm sure you wouldn't be sorry.
Man, those cobra putters sure look awesome! I like the middle version of the 3d printed the best, but I personally also kinda like the 1st one too.
A putter is a putter. It's flat and hits it straight. It's all about looks, feel, and branding. These putters look dope
I've bought the Grand sport 35 and it's magnificent. Long putts are way easier.
In need of a new putter, i love the look of the Nova. 👌
Rick's shoe game is on point👌
