Though 3D-printed golf clubs may not be new, they had been been limited to prototypes and small runs for tour players, for example. But now, Cobra is debuting a new offering: its 3D-printed LIMIT3D iron set for consumers.
The irons represent a tech shift in iron construction, according to Cobra, with a lighter weight that blends the look and feel of a blade-style club with the moment of intertia of a larger clubface. By using 3D printing, engineers can finetune acoustics without internal polymers while also generating a stable head at impact.
The set features metal-injection molded irons, 3D-printed steel putters, iron badges and an aerodynamically designed DarkSpeed.
The irons’ 3D-printed 316L stainless steel body includes an internal lattice structure, which enables 33% of the clubhead weight to be repositioned, reports Mike Yagley, vice president of innovation and artificial intelligence at Cobra.
“This unique design, which is only possible using 3D-printing, allows for up to 100 grams of tungsten to be placed in the heel and toe areas of the clubhead, creating a low CG and an exceptionally high moment of inertia relative to the shape and size of the club,” Yagley says. “The result is a compact blade shape with a low CG location, high forgiveness and distance comparable to that of a player’s distance or game improvement model like Cobra’s King Tec or Tec-X irons.”
Driving this technology forward is Cobra’s partnership with nTop, a company focused on computational design software. This has allowed Cobra to streamline its design and prototyping processes to get real clubs to test faster, the company reports.
The new 3D-printed LIMIT3D irons from Cobra are $3,000 (4-PW set) and are now available for custom order. They are limited to just 500 sets worldwide and will be available for purchase on June 7. The price includes a large selection of aftermarket steel and graphite shaft options, as well as grips.
