2013 Cobra AMP Cell Pro Irons

Published

on

Professional golfers hit the sweet spot on their irons with such regularity that when they’re deciding on a set, they’re more concerned with feel, workability and consistency than they are distance and forgiveness. For those golfers, Cobra has released its AMP Cell Pro forged irons, which don’t follow the current trend of making irons larger, hotter and more forgiving.

Instead, the AMP Cell Pros are actually smaller than their predecessor, Cobra’s S3 Pro forged irons. But for top ball strikers, the loss of size is worth what the irons deliver in abundance — a tremendously soft feel.

The S3 Pro forged irons were popular on Tour among Cobra Staff players for their clean lines and soft feel. The AMP Cell Pros have a similar shape, but shorter blade lengths — a change that allowed engineers to place more mass behind the sweet spot of the irons, which contributes to an even softer feel from the 1020 forged carbon steel heads.

“It’s inherent that the more mass you have behind the hitting area, the softer an iron will feel,” said Josh Breier, lead principal design engineer for Cobra-Puma Golf. “The added mass absorbs vibration.”

The AMP Cell Pro irons also have less offset, a thinner sole and more sole relief, as well as a different set makeup. Whereas the S3 Pro irons included cavity back long irons (2 through 6) and muscleback short irons (7 through PW), the AMP Cell Pro irons actually have three different types of irons in the set — dual cavity backs in the 2 through 6 iron, single cavity backs in the 7 and 8 irons and full musclebacks in the 9 iron, pitching wedge and gap wedge.

These three different types of irons allowed engineers to create a set with more “flow,” meaning the transition from long irons to mid irons to short irons is more gradual. The cavities of the irons gradually fade away as the set moves to the short irons, giving the AMP Cell Pro irons a more consistent feel throughout the set than the S3 Pro irons.

One of the tricks to adding weight behind the sweet spot without subtracting performance was shortening the hosel, which freed up discretionary weight to be placed on the perimeter. This means that the irons will have similar performance to the S3 Pro irons, but with a much better feel.

Because of the added mass behind the sweet spot, however, the AMP Cell Pro irons have a slightly lower MOI, which decreases forgiveness but gives golfers more ability to work the ball. For this reason, Cobra PGA Tour Staff players Rickie Fowler and Jonas Blixt are playing full muscleback sets of AMP Cell Pro irons, which provide an even softer feel and a lower MOI for more workability.

Think the full muscleback set is for you? You’re in luck. They’ll be available in the early spring (we’ll add a more specific date when we get it) through Cobra’s custom program. Both sets will retail for $899.

Before you pull the trigger on the same irons Fowler and Blixt are playing, consider this: the AMP Cell Pro Muscleback long irons have 14 grams less perimeter weighting than their dual cavity back equivalent, which will make off-center strikes fly shorter and more crooked. While you might dress like Fowler and Blixt, you probably don’t hit it like them. Choose the flow set to hit it pin high more often.

    This should be the format for every review on this site. Just enough of a write up and then photos of the PW, 7 iron, 5 and 3 irons from the angles that are actually important to people(ex: address,sole). I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to see reviews of clubs without shots of the club from address! Please make every review like this! Thanks

    Tired of feeling like every set of clubs I’ve owned were some kind of farm tool, I decided to try the Cell Pro. I am by no means an accomplished golfer but the clubs had a beautiful feel and balance. I tried them in the store and immediately bought them. I found with absolutely no exageration that the clubs were an extention of my body. Every single club hit the same. Clean, sharp center contact and as straight as you can hit a ball. The long irons are actually easy to hit. My distance has increased by ten yards for each club. I think that everyone trying a new set should forget about the fact that they are pro clubs and try them. I am so thrilled by my purchase I would like to buy a second set. I believe Cobra has actually crafted a magical set of irons

    I’m really hoping to find a set of these babies to do a shootout against my Nike mb’s, and Cobra Pro mb’s. They sure look sweet!

    They look nice but … where did the mass go if the 5 iron is D3 but 1/2 inch extra long at 38inches? Now if they were D3 at 37 1/4 inches I’d believe there was extra mass.

    Nice looking sticks. They remind me a bit of the Bridgestone J40 CB with the way the weight is dubursed. So many choices….

    Add another iron to my “try before u buy” list. These look great. Didn’t care for the chunky sole on my Cobra Pro S3’s.

    Great review Zak,

    I will say as far as looks are concerned these Cobra’s are amazing. Love the shape and design which makes very appealing to the eye.

    I think I would be right in saying these irons are for the better player and most likely on scratch or very close to it. The professionals love to work the ball in either direction and the likes of Fowler and Blixt will love these.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

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.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

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.”
