The Fully Equipped crew recently visited Cobra Golf’s headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif., for a hands-on look at Cobra’s latest innovation, the new 3DP Tour irons. Wadeh and I teamed up with Andrew Lusty, Cobra’s manager of custom fitting, to put these irons through their paces in Cobra’s high-tech fitting studio.
Our goal? To find out how the 3DP Tour irons stack up against Cobra’s classic King CBs, and whether they live up to the buzz around 3D printing in golf club design.
We compared feel, sound, ball flight and data between the two models. Then Andrew and Kris took Wadeh through a full fitting process to see just how well the 3DP Tours could be dialed in to his swing. The results spoke for themselves.
Check out the video for what we learned during an in-depth day of testing, fitting and talking gear at one of golf’s most forward-thinking brands.

Cobra 3DP Tour Custom Irons
The KING 3D Printed TOUR irons utilize 3D printing technology to unlock a new realm of performance. Their one of a kind design features the most forgiving blade shape on the market, delivering the forgiveness that aspirational players need, and the sleek looks and soft feel that better players desire.
3D PRINTED STEEL CONSTRUCTION
Each iron is fully 3D printed from 316 stainless steel. 3D printing provides significant advantages over traditional methods of casting and forging, unlocking more design freedom and significant performance improvements.
FORGIVING PLAYERS BLADE SHAPE
3D printing has unlocked new design possibilities, enabling COBRA engineers to create a compact blade shape with the mass properties (high MOI, low CG) of a game improvement iron without sacrificing looks and soft feel that better players demand.
INTERNAL LATTICE STRUCTURE
COBRA took a muscle-back blade shape (similar in size and shape to the KING TOUR iron), and transformed the inside of the blade into a complex internal lattice structure to reduce the weight of the club by 33%. That discretionary weight was repositioned to optimize feel, CG position, and MOI.
