Cobra adds 3DP MB and 3DP X irons to 3D-printed offerings

Published

on

While most golf companies use 3D printing to test prototypes, Cobra has been using the technology to create innovative retail products. Cobra has been a pioneer in using 3D printing technology with its Limit3D irons a few years ago and its current 3DP Tour irons, which are available now. The 3DP Tour irons have been used on tour but have also been a large retail success for us regular players.

Cobra has been diligently working on giving even more golfers the ability to experience how 3D printing can help improve their iron game

“We’re excited to offer these two new innovative iron models that build on the tremendous success of our 3DP Tour irons,” said Ryan Roach, Director of Innovation at Cobra Puma Golf. “With the addition of the MB and X, we now have a 3D-printed model that can fit the vast majority of players, allowing just about any golfer to benefit from the performance advantages of 3D printing technology.”

Cobra’s 3DP Tour is a smaller iron built for more aspiring golfers, but it isn’t a one-size-fits-all option. So Cobra’s engineers went to work on a smaller and larger option in order to fit everyone. Both models are built using the same 3D printing technology that the 3DP Tour irons use. This means that each iron is somewhat hollow inside to allow more mass to be placed low in the heel and toe.

We are pretty familiar with hollow body irons now, but these are done differently because there is no foam or rubber inside, but they aren’t just empty either. As the heads are printed, they have an internal lattice structure to help maintain their shape as the printer builds them up. Now, Cobra has also used machine learning to ensure that the internal lattice structure helps create great face performance, sound, and feel. There are two cavities printed into the toe and heel where Cobra installs heavy tungsten weights for added stability in the heads.

Cobra 3DP MB

If you are looking, like a lot of us are, for a muscle back blade that offers substantial playability, then Cobra’s 3DP MB could be the iron for you. When you hold it in your hands, the club head is small and compact with a thin topline and minimal offset.

If there were no badging, I don’t think you would know it wasn’t the current King MB irons from just looks. But hiding inside the small form is an internal lattice just like the 3DP Tour irons that allows Cobra engineers to increase the MOI on the iron. There are also twin tungsten weights low in the heel and toe of the irons to push mass farther from the center of the club head, making them more stable on mishits. The lattice structure printed inside the head also enhances the sound and feel, making it soft and responsive like a true MB iron.

Cobra 3DP X

There are a lot of golfers who tried the 3DP Tour irons last year but wanted more forgiveness and distance out of the iron. Cobra added the 3DP X irons to give golfers who want maximum forgiveness and stability with the massive amount of discretionary weight moved away from the center.

With the 3DP X irons, Cobra added large tungsten weights to the toe and the hosel to give it the best MOI of any iron they have ever made. The 3DP X iron is the most forgiving iron that Cobra has ever made. The placement of the tungsten weights also helps with making the 3DP X irons easy to launch for added height, carry, and stopping power.

These irons have an internal lattice structure, but it works with a thinner face to create more ball speed and widen the sweet spot on each iron in the set. Now feel is still an essential part of the design, and the 3DP X is printed as a single piece, so they don’t have a similar hollow body sound; they are closer to a single piece forged iron.

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.”
