New Putter Tech: Cobra King 3D Printed Series

New for 2021: Cobra’s official entry into the putter market — the KING 3D Printed Series. This family is the first complete line of 3D Printed multi-material putters. The putters feature a 3D printed nylon lattice cartridge created using HP’s advanced Multi-Jet fusion printing technology. The 3D printed lattice structure was designed to optimize the weight distribution within the putter chassis to deliver high MOI for enhanced stability and roll performance. There are three distinct models in the line-up – the GrandSport-35 (OS Blade), SuperNova (OS Fang), and the Agera (OS Mallet).

The KING 3D Printed Series is the result of a multi-year collaboration between Cobra and HP that began with the launch of the LE SuperSport-35 putter. Since then, Cobra engineers have worked with HP to transition from Metal Jet (metal 3D printing) to Multi-Jet (Nylon) 3D printing to capitalize on the weight-saving benefits of nylon, which is about half the mass of aluminum. The intricate 3D printed lattice cartridges cannot be produced using traditional manufacturing methods and are crucial to creating discretionary weight. In addition to optimizing weight, the lattice cartridge serves as a supporting structure to the body and damps vibrations and fine-tunes sound. Each model features a steel chassis, a forged aluminum crown, tungsten weights, and a SIK Face Insert.

Cobra partnered with SIK Golf to employ their patented Descending Loft Technology (DLT), which features four descending lofts on the face to produce a consistent launch angle and roll for different putting styles and stroke consistencies. Cobra engineers utilized the SIK’s DLT to create Cobra’s version in a 6061 aluminum insert which gives the advantage of weight savings and soft, yet crisp feel at impact.

Each putter in the series is equipped with a Cobra Connect grip powered by Arccos Caddie. The grips feature electronically enabled embedded sensors that sync with the Arccos Caddie app on the user’s smart device to provide in-depth putting data. Demos of the new putters will be arriving in Club Champion studios in June.
