Cobra needs to do a Pūr Iron line also.. these things are gorgeous.
Cobra has the best irons and wedges out there. Every review I've seen the driver distance beats TM and Callaway. Spin numbers are not as good tho. But not by far. Cobra very underrated brand. Best clubs all around.
even more today with F9 Driver
Even more so, they're on average 300$ cheaper (for a set of irons) than the other 3 big names and you're getting right around the same distance and quality of build.
all season , no rust, great wedges, underrated imo
Putting the launch monitors next to each other and comparing them would be interesting
Awesome demo. I've been missing the demos, however I still watch all the course vlogs. I've been watching for quite some time and always use these before purchase of a new club/clubs. Ive recently started testing for My Golf Spy and I can contribute most of my testing methods to your influence. Thank you Rick for all that you (and Pete) do for the game. Love all of your stuff man.
2:17 Cobra should pay you for that shot! :D I personally love the look of it. Those spin numbers are amazing. I kinda want one of those even though I don't need a new wedge.
L. Gyger after 2 years now would be the time to get them! PGA Superstore has them for $50!
One thing I love about cobra's range is they seem to have the weighting just right I'm definitely getting these wedges to go with the radspeed irons
got the exact same setup!
5 minutes break at centre parcs and it's straight on to you tube for a Rick Shiels video... love'em
Paul Richards I hope he still does videos for us when we are all divorced!
Just bought 2 brand spanking new of them two years old plastic still on them. $130 for the pair. They are so heavy. Like the Russian in Snatch. "I like heavy. Heavy is reliable" What an awesome looking pair of wedges. I Can't wait to hit them. Summer is around the corner. Canada sucks for golf. Mind you we are going to have an early spring this year. Might be playing on Sunday.
I think if there was some paint on the back of it it would perform even better. Said no one ever!
Performance wise I don't disagree with you at all, but there's millions spent on marketing appeal to sell clubs, those who do it well aren't getting it wrong as shown on their bottom line figures.
I have this wedge in 60 degree versatile and blacked out. It is not rusty at all and I’ve had it a season now. I use it when the pins tight on the green or I have to go over an obstacle. I just got a 40 yard chip in birdie with it. It hits it high lob without even opening the face. High spin stops right where it lands.
I have a 56 & 60 versatile grind. No rust whatsoever, they’re raw stainless steel. I even polished them a bit when they were looking a bit too ratty… cheap, good.
Just purchased this 56 degree wedge, used it on the course yesterday, really liked it, great feel and love the look of it.
Really stylish and great results from using it - Very Happy
Rick - videos are brilliant.
Kenneth Pundyke - what grind did you get
The Pūr wedges are 304 Stainless Steel so it will resist rust. Raw carbon steel (1020, 1025, 8620) will rust significantly if unprotected.
Thanks I was on the fence about getting this wedge
There were PureSpin wedges (diamonds on the face), there is a company called Pure Navy that makes a lovely line of Wedges as in shoes...your better half may know about these. They are just leaving it open for customization....adding more it wouldn't be "pur"
Been playing these for three seasons now. Being a hacker I don’t change wedges every two weeks, so I’ve worn my 56° out by now (got a new one).
What finally happened is that the “shell” cracked and started to get bubbly just around the leading edge. To it’s defense I’ve spent a lot of time in bunkers (practicing as well) and it has suffered well over 1000 sand shots.
Despite that, there is no rust what so ever.
Have the Pūr as 52,56 and 60°, like them all.
I purchased this exact 56 degree cobra wedge and I really like it. Has tremendous feel and very smooth shots with it.
im thinking of purchasing a 52 and 60 degree pur wedge. would you recommend these or do you prefer a different type of wedge?
I like the fact it has no paint fill... a very tempting club! Would like to see how it weathers though. You could perhaps offer it to a subscriber to play with for a couple of months, to see how it changes!?! ...just a thought.
ordered my gap wedge (50 degree versatile grind) 9/27/2017 and was delivered 3 days later. I hit balls 2-3 times per week, and I play minimum 1x per week sometimes 2. No Rust cleans up nicely, love the club.
I've had a pair of these (54 versatile, 60 widelow) since they came out. There's been a bit of bag chatter, and faster than normal wear but I'm still seeing great spin on the course. There's also absolutely no sign of rust what-so-ever. I need to think about replacing the AW from my set with a 50 soon. Love these wedges!
These wedges are not rust resistant, they are effectively RUST PROOF. Made from stainless steel so that they should not rust even over a log period of time. At least that's what cobra is saying. Just got mine in 50, 55, and 60. Loving them so far. Also these wedges have loft specific grooves to maximize spin on all shots. Pretty cool stuff coming from cobra these days.
Hi mate, any rust on yours yet?
You should do a review of Wilson 1200 tn irons, easily the softest feeling farthest hitting irons I've ever had
That is the slickest looking club I've seen. It's simplicity is super appealing. It's been added to my list of "needs."
gorgeous looking wedge with performance to match. really impressed with the cobra range just now and at a non ridiculous price point too.
I have just bought a 60 degree. It is superb. Get one, now
Jim Wilcock - what grind did you get? Having a hard time figuring out which grind is best
Best looking wedge I've seen in a while!
Had a "Pure Spin" wedge some years ago. Im thinking about upgrading my old but solid CG10 wedges. Good results from the Pur. Will be trying it out soon.
Hey Rick I've got a 56 and 60° pur wedge that I've been playing for a little over a year now. I can report no rust! They basically look same as new minus some bag chatter marks
Those wedges look sharp. Good luck to you on Monday! If this review is any indication on how your game 100 yards and in looks right now, you'll do great!
Rick you hit this wedge better than most others tested previously. Good review
That wedge looks awesome no color needed. Im in the market for wedges going to test these out. Thanks Rick for the review
no rust, super nice feel, pretty to look at in the back, my go-to wedge.....
They look really sweet. If it weren't for the PM grinds 56° + 60° and the Mac Daddy Forged 52° already in the bag, I would have grabbed these.
They look class!
have had these for about a month. no rust yet and a great wedge.
Got 56 and 52 1st game tomorrow. Can't wait thanks for making me think outside the box rick. Would have gone with the big names just from what the lads at the club say with out your vlogs
I mean rick if u are looking to make all ur wedges the same these wedges seem like a good candidate!!!
Just makes it easier to custom paint fill Rick :)
Pur, is german mate! that's all!!
3:35 ... anyone else see that ghost move the tee by the GCQuad? lol
Drew Green unless it was a random gust of wind from outside his hitting area than yeah definitely saw that.
For real! Had to go back n watch it, lol.
Well spotted Drew . A Ghost for sure because nothing else moved. lol
it is got to be hard for you to pick what's in your bag. you get to test everything. how do you choose out of all your testings what's in your bag?
Really like your reviews but I've noticed you don't seem to mention what kind of golfer these are for anymore, this was always a really useful part of your review, it's very difficult buying clubs when you're not sure how easy they are to hit so keeping this in any review would be beneficial. With wedges especially it's hard to know!
big fan, could you do a video about the differences between a regularly set up course and a course set up for a tour event? fairways, greens, rough etc.. just how much harder is it
I play the non-pur version of these and they are great clubs. Just as good as Vokey wedges only cheaper!
How would this fit in a high handicapper's bag with composite shaft?
got one of these waiting to be ordered in a 52, looking forward to it!
How’d it perform? About to order a 52 myself
Forge or casting doesn't make the club feel soft. It's the type of metal used. You can use a soft metal and cast the club and it's just as soft feeling.
Which would you choose between the Cleveland rtx 3.0 and this wedge? Where would you rank it along the other wedges you tested?
There have been wedges by "Pure Spin." Interesting that it is rust-resistant. The *back* of the wedge, with that notch, resembles an old Cobra Trusty Rusty (by Phil Rogers) 56* wedge I owned. That one was *designed* to rust (hence the name). Have they been using that notch in the back on a regular basis? What's the swingweight? My Trusty Rusty was D1 (normal SW are D4-5), and if this Cobra is a little light, faster swing speed might account for the increased spin.
Glad to see some club reviews posted. Love it!
seems a very good wedge from Cobra, as usual. underconsidered brand in my opinion. great work Rick
Ur videos are so great with a good set of b roll and ur also a very good golfer
Nice looking wedge. Love Cobra Clubs.
Hi Rick Good luck on Monday. That wedge looks special. If you need someone to test how it rusts, just send it to me and I will happily test it for you!
Any way you could review some of the older callaway wedges with Mack Daddy grooves?
Hey rick. the cleaveland rtx 3.0 you and pete tested were as high as 12,700 spin. i beleave it was a spin off comp between you and pete, and i think pete won by a very small margin. going by that video the cleavelands rtx 3.0 beats the cobra pur by a 1000. but in sayin that i love the look of this wedge. if the price is right i would deffo consider puting this in the bag. other wise ill just stick to the cleaveland rtx 3.0 for now great wedge in my opinion!!
This is the second wedge video I have heard Rick sweat over the possibility of a wedge rusting. I always thought some rust on a wedge was a plus.
Just bought a 50°, going to the range now.
I found these to be extremely reflective in the sun. They aren't "raw" as in like a Vokey raw, then definitely have a significant shine and glare to them...
Loved this review at the time and just re-watched it as I'm trying to get some of these! If you happen to have any lying around for the past couple of years I'd happily buy them off you 👍😂
Put in the bag Rick. Ridiculously good wedge.
Good review Rick, probably wont see this but... can you do a video on difference bounces? im really confused on what type of bounce to get as i am in the market for two new wedges.
Not sure why rust resistant. My Cleveland 60 has rust, and is my favorite club in the bag.
XXVelocityXX Because they're made from 306 stainless steel, these should be very hard to make rust.
black and gold cobra sign would have been sick on that
Rick are you going to do a P2 putter grip review I saw the box beside the wall my club pro invented them
Is there any significant improvement on Cobra MIM wedge vs Cobra Pur wedge?
Hi Rick, will Rob Potter be doing a review of this wedge? I can relate to Rob with him being a 13 handicapper, and the spin rates he gets will be nearer the average golfer.
This I like! Loving the plain slightly "unfinished" look.
If you really want colour on it why not do it yourself.
I'd like to see this in direct comparison to the Callaway PM Grind.
Is this going in the bag? 😂 seems really damn good
my 60 deg. nike engage has a raw finish and it creates more spin than i have ever made
A macron (/ˈmækrɒn, ˈmeɪ-/) is a diacritical mark: it is a straight bar (¯) placed above a letter, usually a vowel. Its name derives from Greek μακρόν (makrón), meaning 'long' since it was originally used to mark long or heavy syllables in Greco-Roman metrics. It now more often marks a long vowel. So.... the - over the u gives it a long sound as if you would spell " Pure " without actually using the e. Hope that helps.
P.S. Can you please explain the " grind " on the club and what would be a good one for a high-handicapper? Thanks.
I thought it looked beautiful as it was, to add to it would have been to detract. Loved the review and the spin numbers had me salivating if that's not too gross! On my way to eBay.
In my humble opinion looks awesome
Put it in the bag, Rick!
Can you do a review of the Cobra Snakebite wedges..? Love the lookof them.. But no practical reviews out there.. Thanks Rick.. Great videos.. :).. ⛳⛳⛳
Great vid! 11000 spin rate?! That's kind of insane!
Just ordered one after seeing this video!!! Love these vids!!
Martin Christiansen, how has it been? Does it rust?
:)
Jack
Hi. Could not get along with the wedge. So had to back to my vokey wedge again.
But no, it never got any rust. But I also take very good Care of my Equipment.
I recall Pure Spin Diamond Face wedges.
is there a difference between the pur and the king apart from colour?
Love the look! No color - perfect! 😃
Hey Rick, can you review the brand new cobra SB wedges?
Wish this would have come out about 2 months ago. I would have stuck with cobra wedges but I couldn't test them so I didnt.
Is this a new algorithm in this software? When Rick reviewed SM6, 11300 spin came ripping back on his 56* wedge shot. Now at 11800 it just stops and doesn't spin back at all? Hmmm..
Good luck on Monday Rick!
the firearm industry often don't use stainless steel yet the treatment they do let the metal take salt bath without any issue.
I can confirm the black ones scuff quite a bit but they're nice wedges
nice wedge what's the price tag?
Do a sm5 vs sm6 comparison
Nice vid as always! Good Luck on monday!
lovey pur's , put em in the bag, you know you wanna!
I love the look when compared to those shoes Rick ☹️
Good luck Monday !!
put it in the bag after open qualifying
Taylormade did a raw finish that isn't supposed to rust with the tour preferred wedges in 2014 I think
Put em in bag for Monday qual!! Good luck rick just pretend your playing with Pete think u will do well 🏌🏼🏌🏼👍
Have 2 of these on the way, 52 & 56 degree. PGA Superstore has them on sale for $50 a piece! Can’t wait to get them!
Does any have these wedges? Any comments on durability after 3 years? Thank you!
I just bought 2 of them....looks and price were the selling feature. I've been using vokey wedges for many years....before that Cleveland. I typically keep my wedges too long - to the point where there isn't much roughness left to the grooves or hitting area. Had to replace my 56 last year - and it is still a vokey. When I go out to play or practice I'll get to make a relatively good comparison between the 2. Because of the soft feel....the material of the clubhead may be softer....probably you have to be careful with the clubs banging around in the bag so that they don't look all messes up - or worse start getting dents in the hitting area.
Cobra makes the best looking clubs. Performance had come a long way.
Watching your videos makes me spend money.
Its a nice looking wedge
