Cobra BiO Cell+ Irons: In-hand photos and comparison pics
Check out out in-hand and comparison photos of Cobra’s new Bio Cell+ irons, which are smaller and have less offset than the company’s Bio Cell irons that were unveiled in November.
The Bio Cell+ irons include much of the same technologies as the Bio Cell irons, with two tungsten weights in their cavities that are placed on the perimeter of the cavity on the 3-through-7 irons and behind the impact area on the 8 iron, 9 iron, pitching wedge and gap wedge. But they’re cast from a softer 431 stainless steel, and have a more compact undercut that allows for more precise placement of the irons center of gravity: low in the short irons and mid irons, and higher in the short irons.
The Bio Cell+ irons come stock with True Temper’s Dynamic Gold shafts and will sell for $799 (3-G) when they hit stores on Feb. 7.

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Being a younger guy in my mid twenties… with style, and enjoying hitting the long ball. I love these clubs! These irons look sleek, and hit very well. I applaud Cobra for having the ability to be creative, outside of the box, and for being productive all at the same time! Keep it up Cobra… Don’t back down, why? They say haters are going to hate! And they will. But with younger guys like myself, and future generations… We like seeing clubs on the market that have an eye popping look, and oh yeah! Did I mention they hit great as well?

What would you prefer? A higher score with pretty pretty clubs or a lower score with not-so-pretty clubs?
From what I can see, the tech is very advanced. Look up “resonant cavities” and think about what they can do 🙂
BTW, I have no association whatsoever with Cobra Golf.

OK, i’ll be nice, photos are making them look fat, chunky and ugly, but in a real touchy session, if they are slim they may look alright.

Technology sounds legit. Not just coming out with the same irons every year like some companies. I give ’em credit for that. And I’m sure there is gonna be that patented Cobra choice of colors…which could be kinda awesome actually.
Real pretty from top down, that’s all I care about. Not too much offset and small topline. I’ll give it a try!!!

Somebody left Callaway, went over to Cobra’s office and threw up metal bits after eating too many razor blades for thrills and this is what came out.

Cobra went after the IZOD multi color crowd now the Star Trek Nerds.
Rename them Borg and go all in Cobra
Or Yeah their the ugliest clubs ever but have you tried them yet?

Hitting is believing… Regardless of looks, Cobra irons have flat out performed the past few years… and when was the last time looks lowered your scores? I’d give them a try and let the performance do the talking.

It comes with a clown hat on the top of the grips. You would be the clown with those irons. Ugly!

I have an ugly backside, but I look great from above and when you address me. I have a stifff shaft and I’m told i’m pretty groovy. I reckon these are my perfect set. We were separated at birth. Chill Out WRXers 🙂

Didn’t Nike already make these irons? Seem to remember some similar-looking fugly Nikes…

Even though I am new to golf and a young person, those look horrible. Man did they get any feedback before they made those?

honestly don’t think they could have made an uglier iron if they tried.. I didn’t care for all the orange they were using because of ricky fowler, but I guess that was just a warm up for the ugliest irons ever to be made. I think the designer was watching too man batman movies while thinking these up.

Who designs these? I don’t think there is anything uglier than these.

Agree with others… they look ok in address position, but I would be embarrassed to have these in my bag because the backside is probably one of the ugliest designs I have ever seen. Awful looking. Cobra has jumped the shark.

Can’t agree more, these are real Medusas. As long as you look at them from address or in front you’re safe. But if you flip em around and don’t use a mirror, you’ll likely turn to stone. Too bad, because they probably work well.

I realize one man’s medicine may be another man’s poison but, the back of these irons may be the most unattractive design I have ever seen. Perhaps their performance will be such that we all may covet a set of them. Regardless, they shall never darken the cavity of my bag!
