In the short irons this looks a tiny bit too chunky for my liking although I am used to using compact-headed irons. This is the kind of club which leaves you in no doubt as to what it is trying to achieve - forgiveness, easy launch and plenty of distance. The Radspeed gives you the same friendly head as you got in the Speedzone irons with a touch of offset and thick topline. You also get the Cobra Connect technology, powered by Arccos, which uses sensors to record the performance of every single shot out on the course to help you track and improve your game. There are also progressive head shapes, groove shapes and hosel lengths in the Variable Length irons in order to optimise the performance of each iron right from the long irons to the wedges.Īs with most Cobra irons you get the option of traditional variable length irons and One Length, which offers the same technology as the standard model but promotes the same setup and swing for every iron to provide more consistency. The forged Pwrshell insert is made from a high-strength stainless steel and provides a thinner, more flexible face design to encourage better ball speeds around the sweet spot. This year it comes in a new black finish to create the appearance of a thinner topline, for a sleeker look at address. Like last year's Speedzone Irons, the Radspeed features a carbon fibre strip on the topline which saves weight to further lower the CG and improve launch and spin numbers. This toe weight can be adjusted by up to 6g during the custom fitting process in order to best suit a golfer's swing and shot tendencies. This mass comes in the form of a 10g screw-in weight in the toe and 3g in the heel, which is said to provide the low CG and high MOI required for fast ball speed and a high launch. This aims to maximise performance by focusing on the weight placement in relation to the Centre of Gravity in order to provide the perfect balance of speed and forgiveness.īy adding more mass to the bottom of the heel and toe, Cobra are able to put weight as far from the CG as possible at the bottom of the head, which lowers the overall centre and improves the stability of the clubhead. The Radspeed gets its name from the new Radial Weighting technology which will be seen across the range. The new Radspeed irons feature a 3D printed 'nylon medallion' on the back cavity of the club head which uses an intricate lattice structure in order to save weight and lower the CG for easier launch, whilst improving feel by damping vibrations felt at impact. Cobra are saying that the benefits of 3D printing include making it easier to design and test multiple different versions of a product, whilst also speeding up the manufacturing process.
What's It All About?ģD Printing was first seen in Cobra product earlier this year with the King Supersport-35 Putter as part of a new partnership with HP & Parmatech. This year they are pushing the boat out even further with their new Radspeed range which features some interesting new ideas of weight placement throughout the club head, as well as the introduction of 3D printing into golf clubs for the first ever time. Cobra have been at the forefront of innovative golf club design for over a decade and whilst they don't always make quite as much noise as some of their rivals when it comes to marketing and messaging, you'll be hard pressed to find a golfer who isn't impressed when they actually get the clubs into their hands and start hitting balls.
