The first thing Cobra Golf engineers mention when they talk about their new Radspeed irons is the 3D printed nylon medallion they developed through a partnership with companies in information tech and metal injection molding, HP and Parmatech. The technology allows the equipment maker to craft, prototype and test multiple iterations of a product and bring it to market much more quickly.
In the case of the aforementioned medallion, the process enabled the technicians to create an intricate lattice structure that is designed to save weight (so that the center of gravity can be lowered, for more optimal launch, ball flight and distance) and fine tune-tune feel (by dampening vibrations).
Another important advance with these clubs is the use of a technology called “radical weighting.” That involves the strategic placement of weight in the toe and heel of the head in pursuit of enhanced ball speed and added forgiveness.
The irons, which are available in variable and one-length versions, also feature a unique carbon fiber topline that saves additional weight in an effort to further bolster launch and spin conditions. And the clubs employ in these sticks a forged, face insert made of high-strength, 17-4 stainless steel to expand the sweet spot and make it even hotter.
