I think everyone should be skeptical, but excited at the proposition. Usually that makes things more exciting when they hit it and it inevitably wows or fails.
What I love about a release like this, is the potential, and the unknown. I tend to love going back to drivers as the most extreme...
I think that it is entirely accurate to suggest that 3D printing a lattice structure in a golf club is fundamentally different IN GOLF. That's obviously the focus here, at least from a construction standpoint.
What will be incredibly interesting is how it applies to the golf swing. We've...
I guess it depends on what you're looking for in an iron. The intent of this project is to present a player style iron with the performance benefits of a game improvement iron. Based on the feedback we've received from Cobra (and presented in the article), that has been achieved.
I'm not sure...
yeah, the quantity is tough.
Seems like the time it takes to produce them is a barrier as well - at least for now without having an entire factory floor of printers churning them out. We've seen this a bit in the industry before, where new ideas start small based on the machine buy-in needed...
No, I'm asking how you're drawing a connection between that wedge with some milling on it, and this iron.
Keep in mind, every gram saved is a gram that can be placed elsewhere. Without 'capping' that area of the iron, which is a fairly common cavity location on an iron, they're able to put...
Is the tech not vastly different? The process surely is.
a microwaved pizza is going to cost different than a brick oven pizza, right?
a urethane golf ball is going to cost different than a surlyn ball, right?
Hopefully the process is refined to bring price and production time down.
I definitely read 'con' in the other way - like they were trying to con people. This makes a lot more sense.
Of course the price is going to be a barrier - that's fair.
I am pretty baffled by these irons. In a lot of ways, Cobra is redefining weight placement and material management, and it is being done in a completely durable (yes of course I asked that question) and high performing package.
I'm totally interested to experience the contact these present...
I understand that some LE stuff plays into this sort of reality, but I am not at all under the impression that it applies here. The time it takes to manufacture the heads, the cost related to the printing process and materials (and of course the R&D secondary reality to it all), this feels more...
