ORLANDO – Cobra has become the leader in the use of 3D printing in the production of golf clubs and the new 3DP Tour Putters uses a 3D printed nylon cartridge in a 304 stainless steel MIM body with tungsten sole weighting and a carbon fiber crown.

The new putter 3DP Tour putter family from Cobra features the use of a 3D printed nylon cartridge in a form that cannot be duplicated by other processes, and the resulting complex and intricate shape gave Cobra engineers weighting alternatives that could not be done conventionally.
The idea is precisely fixing the location of the center of gravity to give the head the most resistance to twisting or MOI they could which means a more stable head with the weight pushed back from the face towards the rear.
The next interesting feature is the MIM or Metal Injection Molded main body, another forming technique that helps create exact weight positioning in combination with the carbon fiber crown.
Cobra also has used the Descending Loft Technology pioneered by LA Golf meaning the face loft at the very top is 4° transitioning in 1° steps to 1° at the bottom of the face. This helps overcome the common error of pushing the hands ahead of the ball at impact which reduces loft or letting the putter head flip which adds loft.
“3D printing gives us total freedom to design for performance first,” said Chad DeHart, Senior Product Line Manager at Cobra Golf. “By shifting mass out of the center of the putter, we pushed MOI higher than ever while engineering CG placement for exceptional stability. Pairing that with a fully milled 304 stainless steel face delivers the precise, Tour-validated feel players love. This is the kind of innovation that defines Cobra.”
