Equipment
You can (finally!) buy Rickie Fowler’s Rev33 irons: Cobra releasing limited RF Proto irons
After much anticipation, Cobra Golf is set to release the limited edition RF Proto irons—an exact replica of the Rev33 irons developed and used by Rickie Fowler on the PGA Tour.
Rickie worked closely with long-time Director of Tour Operations, Ben Schomin from start to finish to create an iron that offered him everything he ever wanted from looks, to feel, and, ultimately, performance.
The Rev33 stamp is a nod to 33 iterations the iron went through before the final design was selected.
“We worked closely with Rickie to determine his favorite features of several of his previous sets that we were able to combine into one very sleek package. These are a must-own for better players who appreciate the finest of iron craftmanship or Rickie fans who would jump at the opportunity to own the same sticks their favourite player uses.”
– Ben Schomin
If you are looking for a full in-depth discussion with Ben on the irons be sure to check out our piece from when Rickie originally put them into play: GolfWRX Insider: Inside the development of Rickie Fowler’s Cobra irons
RF Proto technology and design
The set was designed around Rickie’s preferred 7-iron look with a square/straight topline from the longest iron to the pitching wedge, which is unique since most irons progress to a more rounded shape in the shorter irons.
The RF Protos feature a distinct sharp toe profile reminiscent of many classic blades and a zero offset look thanks to a “no-taper” hosel design.
The irons are produced through a two-stage forging process and then 100 percent CNC milled to the final shaping. The milling process alone takes over two and a half hours per iron head to produce the most precise geometry possible.
The final piece of the design is the tungsten weight positioned on the toe of the iron—just like Rickie’s gamers—to locate the center of gravity and deliver a superior feel.
Price, specs, and availability
The RF Proto irons are available in right hand only 4-pitching wedge and will retail for $2,499.
Sets can be pre-0rdered starting today January 25th, at Cobragolf.com with sets shipping out starting January 29th.
The limited-edition irons are shipped in a custom box, which celebrates the partnership between Fowler and Cobra, complete with a card of authenticity autographed by Rickie Fowler.
The standard set components are KBS C-Taper shafts with Golf Pride Align grips fitted with Cobra Connect powered by Arccos, but a full selection of custom shafts and grips and also available.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

Maybe these clubs are the reason he is ranked at 61 in the World Golf Rankings. Even he doesn’t currently have in play the 4 iron from this set in his bag.

Why is no one questioning the lengths? Curious why they are stock over (from industry standard). Here it shows .5″ over and the website is showing .25″ over.

They seem to working well for Rickie

I love that these are milled, they look incredible. However… never thought I’d say this… the topline is way too thin. It just doesn’t inspire confidence. Doesn’t look right.

Dang im a huge supporter of Cobra and i REALLY wanted a set of these. Also willing to pay a premium. Just not $2,500 PLUS tax. Where im at that would come out to $2,750. I was figuring $1,500-1,700 max would be acceptable. Guess ill just have to wait till mid-end of summer to pick some up second hand. Cobra missed the mark on these.
Werent the copper plated MP-20s cheeper than this????

What a steal, only $357 per club.

They do look gorgeous, but they are obviously brutal to play.
I can punish myself adequately with a set of blade that cost $500, so no thanks Cobra

At least buying the p7tw got you tigers specs and a model that won a major, by a guy whose won a ton of majors, and a few years at number one. . Rickie hasn’t won yet with these clubs and is dropping out of world top 100 by the look of it. You can buy Daniel Berger’s clubs like he does on eBay for under 300 bucks. Cobra missed huge on this. I’m sure some will buy them. but we will find them on eBay in a few months for a grand or Under Bc not even Rickie wants to play them. He switched out of them to play the amp cell from years ago.a fool and his money

Jan 25, 2021 at 11:00 pm
Agreed. Rickie is on his way out. This was a mistake on cobras part to charge a super miura premium for an rf stamping. You could literally get fit into miura for under this. Maybe cobra just trying to recoup time for 33 failed versions of the iron.

Based on the pictures, those offset numbers look wrong. Also, they are different from what is listed on the Cobra website.

Haha…$2500 for a set of irons that Ricki used briefly last year, then quickly opted to swap them out for old gamer irons that were easier to hit. These blades look nice but brutal to play. He’s put them back in the bag for now (probably just to help Cobra get these irons to market), but my guess is they’ll be swapped out again soon.
Rob Marsh

Must be the box making these worth $2500. I can’t wait to see who buys these clubs.

Not sure these are worth $500 more than the Tiger irons, but I’m sure plenty of people will buy them.

Jan 26, 2021 at 5:38 am
Thats because you have no idea what you are talking about. These irons are 100% milled. Tigers are not. The machining process is far more expensive than the forged process. The only thing milled on Tigers irons is the sole and grooves.
