is this going to lead to increased commercial availability of this stuff like or is this going to be a new class of Club here certainly in the iron space that is going to be forever more expensive than the existing you know if I want a great set of Munos a great set of stons retailing you know 1,200 1300 1400 bucks somewhere in there for a set of irons okay are these always going to be $2 to $3,000 for for a set of these things what is up everybody how you living no puts given Tony and Chris we’re back at it brief pause subscribe International symbol for subscribe this this I did not realize Tony that we’re wait uh wearing our favorite salad dressings on our hats today did not realize that’s what you were into today is there is is there a banana salad seeing what’s going on there there is now there is now no I just like to have T-shirts with inspirational quotes so I’m going to I’m going to stick that PGA Championship week woohoo the fourth best major maybe the fifth best Maj might be the fifth best of the of the top four we’ll talk about that there is some cool different equipment stuff so we’re going to really dig into one particular topic little tour stuff there are some things that happen I mean again it’s a major week but Quail Hollow which is an elevated again again I don’t love the elevated concept I like the bigger Fields I like having a a cut that matters this feels a step too close to yeah whatever but I don’t like it as much anyway Rory went nuts last day it was you know Rory and Xander effectively kind of a match blaz situation we had a similar situation on uh the ladies tour with rose Zang and sax from where they basically again coming down the stretch they were number of shots clear the field anyway Rory went ballistic on the back again how many times have I said I feel like every week Taylor Made having the best Tory ever tour year ever it seems like every week whether it’s on the men’s side or the LPGA side Taylor Maid can can shock up another one so here we go again right yeah and you know again it’s Rory he did amazing things but two things we wanted to pick out looking into his bag a little bit what was the first thing you noticed Tony he uh he carries four wedges three of them are tailor made wedges contractually looks like he has a gap in the in the bag and we’ve talked about onour that that lob wedge space a lot of guys go to the vogi van and grab a t grind Rory went with the low bounce K so I mean that what does that tell you well first of all one like said interesting that that that title Voki continues to get play in that spot in particular so when we talk about wedges yes you know gap wedge sand wedges grind it really seems like that lob wedge space whether you play a 58 a 60 or even something higher lofted than that give me a 64 all day golfers but it seems to me like golfers are finding that they can’t find exactly what they want in Taylor Made Callaway you know Cleveland whatever well Cleveland maybe not so much but vogi T grind low bounce K grind we’re seeing these in the bags of staffers that are on you know again being paid a lot of money by other companies to play their gear what do you make of that I mean it’s that that low bounce K is unique kind of a a full Soul low bounce wedge if you will so you know don’t I don’t know if that’s something he carries every week it’s the first time I’ve noticed it coming up you know me I don’t I don’t pay attention to every last detail of of what goes on on the tour in and out every week the bags but caught my attention if only because that was the first wedge Works release of the year was that low balce K and I’m like interesting because again we talk about like that tea grind because of the versatility right the heel toe trailing Edge relief it gets a lot of play on tour K grind is it’s not to say it doesn’t get any play but it’s it’s not the low bounce K is not the te grind in terms of popularity so I think it’s you know it’s probably something very specific to what Rory was looking for but it was It was kind of cool to see that one pop up you’re like all right well that’s that’s not the standard thing we typically see M no the other thing I thought was interesting again we’ve seen this now on a couple different players Rory going to the core head we’re talking with driver specifically so qi1 obviously they have the ls the the standard SL core head and then also the most forgiving 10K model which is the one people have maybe heard the most about cuz that was the headline the 10K the banner ads the commercials you see r410 K but Rory went to the me of the market one the one right in the middle the core head picked up ball speed and a little bit of forgiveness so again when we talk about the best driver head you know for you based on whether it’s your swing speed or what you need you can’t really make any assumptions it’s hard it’s hard and and like Rory gets to work with the van so typically there’s some kind of hot hot melt in there that allows you to kind of manipulate CG maybe it’s a little more forward sort of maybe I’m speculating could be built to be a little bit lower spinning than than a typical Max Max head that could have gone the other way to make it something between a Max and a and a 10K obiously a little more freedom there but it just goes to show you right you can’t just assume that hey this guy swings this this swing speed right whatever Rory is 120ish I’m guessing at this point maybe even more than that yeah yeah and and make assumptions that’s a lot of a lot of variables come into play so it’s uh you know it’s not surprising little interesting no we saw the other week Justin Thomas I know he hasn’t played particularly good golf as of late but he switched into the Titleist tsr2 which again would be within Titleist line most comparable to the qi1 core model so you’re starting yes you can make that a little lower spin or whatever but you’re basically starting with a more forgiving driver particularly more forgiving on M hit so to me the message is hey even the best players in the world are being mindful of what happens when I don’t hit it right where I’m trying to hit it what happens when I catch it a little high in the face maybe it’s that high toe maybe it’s a little low heel whatever their Miss is they’re saying I’m better off to go with a slightly more forgiving head maybe manipulated a little bit tweak and tune tweak and tune yeah tweak and tune like I said Rose Zang got to give her props uh cognizant Founders club uh sorry cognizant Founders cup edged out mty srom coming down the back nine she also an all Callaway playoff right was there she went berserk burning four out of the last five I I think this has a lot to do um callway had their ball launch you know in in January and I I allowed Rose to take a picture with me so I have no doubt that uh that that played a significant role in in all this anyway uh shout out to Chris gup as well he won the opposite field events the Myrtle Beach also known as the YouTube qualifier classic I guess none of the YouTube people that made it made any real noise which nobody really expected him to that wasn’t the point but mindset first win I believe for bridgstone mindset golf ball so no you tried that yet I you no I haven’t I mean I’ve read about it I you know talked to the guys at Bridgestone about it I have not dedicated myself to that yet should I it’s interesting like just kind of forcing yourself and I’m a guy who who has habitually struggled to develop any kind of pre-shot routine everybody every good golfer says you should have and I’m like it’s fine but I think it’s helpful to kind of forces you if you will like you can ignore it you can be like screw those circles you can’t make me but it kind of steps you through a process that potentially leads to better shots and then I find you know just using it for a round and then going out and trying a different ball cuz that that’s where we’re at right so much new stuff to try I’m like let’s experience the world right now sure you kind of just remember that process and go all right tell me give me the 30 second elevator pitch on like if someone say okay I’m not going to read all that too long didn’t read whatever what take take me through the process cuz I’ve seen the picture yeah for me it’s again like you’re just working your way from the different circles and so like the first one is basically choose your target right and then kind of Focus right get your mind wrapped around it the second one I kind of view is all right let’s let’s double check the Target and then it it’s go right and it’s that part of it too is you know Brent sneer snaker used to say right hit it before you can think about it and so it’s really like I think it help like all right I’m going to there’s my target no no that that is definitely my target that’s where I’m going deep breath go right like just fully commit kind of kind of Qui the noise commit to the Target pull the trigger yeah I think yeah quiets the noise a little bit I think because you you it is like all right everything is about the target target target not like oh my God I can’t go over there and and if I hit it over there a little bit that’s going to be bad and oh don’t top you know it’s just like hit the damn stay on target yeah and I think I think once you get in the routine just do it you don’t need a ball I don’t think so I’ll good yeah okay well that’ll be interesting that leads us right into some good equipment stuff so we’re we’re going to talk about this we’re going to spend the bulk of the time here people buckle up cuz we got something a little new for you a little different Tony has dug into this a lot so I’m just going to ask you questions first of all let’s start with this what is it tell me about it so funny is like I’m laughing because I literally just got an email from somebody who promoting Bryson dambo and 3D printed irons as the next disruption in golf and the thing I’m going to tell you about is Cobra’s limited liim it 3D see what they did there Cobra limited iron because you can E3 yeah um the first commercially available set of 3D fully 3D printed irons all right pause there for a second cool the first commercially available set of entirely 3D printed iron so what does that mean I mean we’ve talked people probably have a decent idea is what you know forging is you again you have this hunk of metal these big hydraulic hammers that basically press things into Place forging it at temperatures blah blah blah casting right you create a mold of what you want the final Club to be again I’m simplifying this you pour in really hot uh metal right liquefied metal it cools you take it out of the cast and you have a cast iron wedge whatever the case is things are generally a version of those but now you’re telling me I can I can get my Epson out over here and go exactly just just yeah press print what yeah it’s man it it’s crazy this to me as a guy who’s fascinated by some things and you’re like this shouldn’t work like this this feels like sorcery because you basically kind of start with this little base right you got to have something to AIX what becomes the iron two just to get started then you take metal powder powdered metal and then you use laser beams to turn this powder into an iron which in my mind Austin Powers yeah this is It’s sorcery they like if you said how do you do it like it’s sorcery I’m be like okay that sounds right because it’s the only way this makes sense to me but yeah it’s it’s basically turning powder into golf clubs but and then you’re printing it with lasers layer by layer right you’re just adding a layer on I mean these are very very small layers no doubt yeah these are not uh yeah these these are not what you would expect on like your your three your three scoop cone right right so all right so we’re going to bounce back and forth there a little bit between what the hell is 3D printing how does it work in a golf club and these irons themselves so talk to me about the irons more so this is Cobra right irons tell me about the irons themselves what who are these for what are they what’s you said they’re called they’re for anybody with $3,000 to send on spend on a set of irons and you better spend it fast because they only made 500 of these for now so this is and 300 for the US market right so proof of concept right and you mentioned the layers each one of these heads is approximately I say approximately because you know like a pitching wedge may not be the same as a four iron but 2600 layers that’s what we’re talking about 2600 layers so like I said sorcery takes 24 hours to print 20 heads or something like that astronomic 2600 layers 500 sets worldwide 300 us roughly three grand a set lots of numbers all the numbers yeah um why would I buy one of these well there’s right now nothing else on the market like it so if you’re if you’re the guy that likes to have something different uh here you go it’s being positioned and it really is because we’ve had these conversations for years right like the the Holy Grail of iron design and what that really is or what that looks like and what it looks like is a small a compact whatever you want to call it like a a a head that that pretty much every golfer likes to look of right that true players iron shape but with the Forgiveness of a game improvement iron and and looking at Cobra’s Moi charts forgiveness that goes beyond what you would get in a game improvement iron so you get you know really a super forgiving iron that’s smaller than a king tour that’s your comparison if you’ve seen the King tour it’s not a blade it’s not a it’s not the small cavity back but it’s the next thing in line it’s that that tore iron kind of Cobra’s answer to something like a T100 in that space yep like a a player iron with a little bit of technology so it’s smaller than that smaller than that’s the Ricky Fowler bag or Ricky Fowler Club smaller than that more forgiving than anything else pretty much on the market right now and certainly within the cob lineup so again that’s that’s the idea of the Holy Grail there is is sort of separating Form and Function so yeah like said and we talk about this a lot how what is technology and and and to me what is you know Innovation what is advancement and to me one of the first places I go is it’s taking existing tradeoffs in the industry in either mitigating or eliminate you know eliminating those trade-offs entirely right like we saw it with ping this year and the 10K driver typically drivers with a really low rear CG High forgiveness drivers tend to be pretty spinny so to be able to get a club that’s really forgiving but low spin with good ball speed right those tend to be tradeoffs so can you mitigate those can we get the low spin and high ball speed with a bunch of the Forgiveness obviously I think ping broke some ground in that space what you’re telling me here and again I haven’t hit it you haven’t hit it yet I think I have a seven iron maybe possibly showing up uh that’s what I’ve heard I think I think John got his so I’m I’m definitely anxious to try it and see kind of what it looks like the idea is that this thing should look like a player’s iron I’m not going to say it’s a muscle back even though we may hear that oh it looks like a blade but plays like a game improvement club I’m not willing to go that far just yet but thiner like like you said in in the Cobra lineup sizewise it sits in between the CB and the King tour so somewhere right in there in terms of Aesthetics right but in terms of performance we’re saying that this thing is like game improvement level forgiveness so something you would expect to get out of something that’s a lot bigger a lot chunkier a lot uh less aesthetically pleasing so that’s what we’re trying to offset how the hell do they do it it’s I was just going to say so so much of everything we talk about in golf that gets in golf club design that gets build as technology right the latest technology so much of it is just saving weight somewhere so that you can put it where it’s actually useful and you talk about casting right you can’t you can’t sort of do the whole thing that makes this powerful or makes this work is an intricate lattice structure that supports the face without having a you say lettuce or lattice lattice lettuce lettuce would be good so but so you’re using this lattice structure this 3D printed do decahedral lattice structure that is way more efficient than a solid structure in terms of weight savings you can’t do this in a casting you can’t cast these intricate structures in here you it either you can’t forge it and you can’t Mill it where Milling you can kind of think of like if I want to Mill a golf club I just throw in a block of steel and cut away anything that doesn’t look like a golf club it’s I me that’s kind of yeah right it’s simplified but that’s really what it is you don’t have a lot of ability to cut deep internal pockets and things like that to you know cut out things and intricate structures and all that so basically taking a whole lot of weight out of the middle of the club still supporting the face controlling vibrations to the point where they tell us this feels like a blade now we’ve heard that story a thousand times and that was the very first pxg St ah feels like a Blade Plays like a feels better than a game improvement iron doesn’t feel like a blade right that’s that’s kind of as close as we’ve seen to date so we’ll see how that translates but now you can now you can stick massive amounts up to 100 gram of tungsten depending on which loft of iron you’re talking about anchor it deep in the center still keeping the shape of that iron compact mhm and so you get like you know that’s your perimeter waiting story right you get massive massive weight low and then the parameter yeah yeah stop there for a second sorcery this lce it’s sorcery so this lattice structure I said I’m going to run to the door and grab the seven iron see if I can show it to you if if that is what it is I saw a guy just drop off a package literally right now if that allows them to reposition 100 G of weight that is a metric ton of weight in an iron and and to be sure like we’ve seen massive tungsten used everybody is trying to has used massive amounts of tungsten but to do it in an iron with this shape all right I’m going to go grab this thing real quick and then see what it looks like move come on never mind that wasn’t it it was a different package all right here you go there we go so I get this first part the the lattice structure so if I can take something and make the super intricate design that’s a lot lighter that I can’t do by forging or by casting okay great but how do they get it to feel still like again sorcery it’s all that’s all I got it’s and again we don’t know we don’t know if that’s true everybody tells us the story they show us the modal analysis slides that show oh yeah look at how everything deflects and how it looks like a blade right we’ll see but again it’s it’s being able to control the allocation of mass where the supporting structures are which in tune in turn in tune and in turn controls vibrations and ultimately that’s that’s where your your feel comes from so you know it strikes me as possible all right so that’s great this comes out nobody listening to this is probably going to get a set like I said there’s 500 worldwide 300 in the US they’ll be gone before whatever they’re 3,000 each I don’t really care about that part as much as I care about this next question which is is this going to lead to increased commercial availability of this stuff like or is this going to be a new class of Club here certainly iron space that is going to be forever more expensive than the existing you know if I want a great set of Munos a great set of stons retailing you know 1,200 1300 1,400 bucks somewhere in there for a set of irons okay are these always going to be $2 to $3,000 for for a set of these things I think they’ll be 3,000 and then they’ll be 2,800 and this will come down I I think this is the future for a lot of reasons I mean not the least of which we talk about being able to replic on the tour for example and this this is kind of one of these things I think not everybody knew I didn’t KN know it it was when when Bryson played 3D printed irons at the Masters I believe right it was kind of a big deal oh like oh Bryson’s playing 3D this is incredible and you talk to the Cobra guys and they’re they’re kind of chuckling because Bryson has been playing 3D printed clubs from kobra for years it’s a a 3D printed utility iron since 2017 he played 3D printed T irons right Ricky has played 3D printed wedges Gary Woodland Cobra 3D printed wedges so this stuff has been around uh this is the first time it’s been around for you and me and anybody else with $3,000 and a quick Mouse button to make sure they order early so it’s kind of like the big PJ or the big tour secret is I mean maybe it’s not big but 3D printed clubs have been out on tour in players bags seven eight years yeah and it’s nobody knew it’s like what’s the viability of this like we’re going back way back David edel David Adele was trying to print 3D drive or was trying to 3D print drivers at one point just it the technology wasn’t ready at the time so I think I think we’re reaching an era where this this is possible again you can you can replicate any anything you’ve already done so if you’re if you have a if you’re Ricky Fowler for example and you’ve got a soul grind that was hand Done Right dialed in you absolutely love it you want to change nothing but you know those grooves are going to wear out scan it 3D print it and when you need it 3D print it again and again and again no degradation same thing over and over and over again you’re getting seeing you know Kyle birkar Cobra made a 3D printed utility iron for him because it’s actually stronger which also kind of blows my mind but the conventional designs they had for him were cracking because you know most guys don’t carry a utility iron 300 plus they’re swinging 120 miles in it right yeah and so it’s yeah this is the future and we’ve talked about it and we tried to talk about it Cobra didn’t want to talk about it right but when we look at the implications for say driver design where let’s go there so yeah if this is if this is in fact the future the next wave of of manufacturing right we have casting forging things the only thing undefeated right in in all of history is progress so there is something that’s next whatever that next is let’s say that it is this let’s say that it is 3D printing because like you just mentioned you can Proto type in-house much much quicker right going from CAD designs to models to things you can actually hit within hours within hours hours as opposed to be like here you know let’s send it overseas have them make it for it ship us back maybe it works I’ll tweak this thing back and forth now it’s entirely selfs sered yep so it’s way quicker uh you can do more intricate designs clearly way more intricate designs than any other existing method as with any new technology it’s cost diversive in in most applications initially for now for now for now but let’s assume those costs get resolved as they always do no stradamus what’s next where where could this go let’s play Let’s Play Magic eightball for a couple minutes I just like like the driver is the obvious thing if only because we’ve seen patents with you know different companies already having patents for lattice structures behind the face right trying to instead of the solid thing having a layered thing we’ve seen for example tailor made carbon face what is what is the whole point of carbon face it’s not okay yeah it’s different makes for a good story but also massive massive weight savings over a solid chunk of metal and that’s really light it’s it’s never going to be as light I mean you know we’ve gone for example from I want to say 100 and something grams typical kind of face core if you will down to 10 to 12 gam if memory serves on this so massive weight savings doing it this way if you can translate that to the driver and you can do it in such a way so this is the piece that tailor made has struggled with with carbon is you take out all of that weight and then find a way not to give it all back with glue and things like that so if you can make a Sol structure to support that so if you can make a solid structure that doesn’t require a whole bunch of weight to to kind of sustain it now you’ve got a massive savings that you can right put at the perimeter you can put back you could you radius of gyration right just send it to the to the edges so that you get stability and speed whatever it happens to be so anytime you can save a massive amount of weight in the golf equipment design World good things tend to happen and with 3D printing it just seems like this is this is an incredibly viable and efficient way to do that mhm yeah to me the the other two things that are interesting to think about are yeah no doubt when you can really start saving weight and you can do it quickly so we talked about this whole idea of iterative design right and say hey if this is my best design idea today how do I get 10,000 more ideas and right now that takes time that’s why we don’t see really meaningful benefit to the consumer every year every other year Driver Designs like I said maybe it’s five seven years before he actually see real quantifiable benefit for mass the mass consuming public but with something like this could there be more discrete models really quickly could there be 10 different Fairway Woods depending on what you want could there be you know with drivers are we going to get closer to this one of one type idea I mean we talked about this with uh with Paradigm right with AI how they iterated faces based on swing profile and types and say hey this driver is now designed more for people like you or with your swing characteristics presumably what if there were 31 iterations and in and I take a couple swings and I do that and now they match me up with one of 30 heads as opposed to one of three I think I think 3D printing makes that viable it it makes it possible because you’re not because again you can it’s entirely self-served you can you know tweak a design you you can make that design already and instead of having to send everything overseas to a factory where you have volume requirements and things like that you can kind of look at this as a double-edged sword right you’re what did I say 20 something heads you’re printing at a time yeah something like that right now per machine that doesn’t sound like a lot but if you only want to pres to print 20s something right that’s it’s it’s a perfect scenario so it it allows you to to kind of take control of your own production and not have to overproduce or or not be able to produce on demand so I think yeah I think Sky the on this one like I said it’s interesting it’s it’s interesting because it is again Cobra which has always you know I think pushed envelopes and Innovative things in in certain directions no doubt and um it’ll be interesting to see to what degree this creates or establishes any traction is this something we see from other companies moving forward in the next design cycle or two or is this going to be something that you know in 10 years we come back and say hey look now so and so has a 3D printed this yeah I I would I would bet that we see a lot of this and we see it pretty quickly that’s that’s where I’m putting my money Tony’s money’s on it speaking of other things that we’re going to see or see relatively quickly a new L grind Tony and a new prov1 kind of yeah starting with the L grind so second second vogi wedge Works release of the year so this is an L grind you’re familiar with the L grind it was in the lineup as stock all the way back to what did I say sm5 I think was as far back as I find it it was the lowest bounce staple of the lineup T grind kind of took over it’s taken over on tour so L grind is kind of an illustrates what vogi is starting to do with wedge Works which is like hey we’ve got these staple designs we it’s too many to put them on retail in retail all the time but you can you can put it up on uh on Wedge works if somebody wants it they can go get it so like the low bounce K it’s it’s not a limited edition it’s going to stay in the lineup for the for the run of the sm10 release 58 60° 4 degrees of Bounce in both cases raw finish 225 each there you go tell so the Prov one not new new aesthetic this is a very tidalist thing isn’t it tell is like a quintessential titlist move uh I think um I bet you went to go grab a sample just like I did I I just Happ to bring it up so you go what do we got here this is called prov1 enhanced alignment and so you know it’s two lines one each on either side of the side stamp so it’s not you know it’s not Titleist take on picks they’re not going crazy it’s just a a subtle option and if you you can go to Titus cust on the the Prov one and they already have like I think 40 something custom alignment AIDs that you may not even know exist so this is just one more it’s not you know this isn’t this isn’t not groundbreaking this is not going to this is this is not the 3D printing of golf ball alignment AIDS by any stretch it’s right you just something different if you want something different something that’s and this week uh for those of you that are big into the electric caddy Mafia as I am I love the electric caddy around the course Stuart golf came out their Q uh which is ranked exceptionally highly in our in our testing for for several years it is um a fantastic unit they came out with some new colors they actually look really cool it’s kind of carbon colorway stuff not you know it’s not a new unit that itself the vertex is the newer unit and that’s a little bit less expensive but they actually came with some really new colors and I think it looks pretty good well and there is more to it than than just colors like it’s I mean we see yeah it’s kind of the hot thing to do right let’s let’s throw a carbon weave pattern on on everything because it looks cool this is actually a ceramic coating that they put on it and then they make it look like carbon fiber but it’s a it’s a ceramic coating that the basically short version is it increases durability so it adds strength to the actual structure and kind of just helps kind of protect if you will it’s like a it’s a protect those you that have a penchant for maybe tipping them as I’ve done done once or twice I’ll tell you a story about one time I uh sent mine into a river that’s a a story for a different day all right last question we’re going to finish up uh with this PGA Championship do you expect tiger to do anything more than make the cut no no I I do think like he made the cut at Masters he did which was more than I expected him to do but yeah I think in terms of walking right what is the and tear Bal is going to be a little easier than Augustus so you know I think he can make the cut I don’t expect anything more than that but you know I would probably say that in any situation for Tiger right now I hope he proves me wrong because it’s it’s awesome for golf when he’s at the top of the leaderboard or near it going into Sunday that’s how you get people to watch about the only way you get people to watch golf so you know I would love that I’m just not seeing it I think if he were to top 50 that would be a phenomenal result and I think I think making the cut is more in Jeopardy in this event than others so I’m going to I don’t know that he even makes the cut I will not be surprised if he doesn’t that’s what I said last time and people let me have it so there you go well they can let me have it this time let’s see what happens all right you can have it PJ championship week there we go we’ll see what happens like comment subscribe do all those things you’ll have questions you’ll have ideas let us know what those are we out [Music]

  1. I have no doubt someone has a friend that knows a guy with a 3D printer and they cranked out at least a putter. Set of irons is probably a tall order, but I bet someone crafted themselves a putter outta 3D magic 😏

  2. The King MiM Tour irons, which I play start out as a powder also. I don’t understand why they dropped the MiM technology. I love mine.

  3. An HP Metal Jet printer is roughly $400k. 316L stainless powder is roughly $100 per kg. It's definitely a costly process, even if you own the printer.

  4. I would love to hit these. I bet they're amazing. I've always loved blades and have had several sets, but switched to Titleist cavity backs years ago. I recently got a set of Jack Nicklaus Muirfield blades by MacGregor at a Goodwill. They must have belonged to some old player who also loved them because they're in great shape, had the shafts replaced with some quality graphite, have UST grips (didn't even know they made grips) and have a couple strips of lead tape on the back of every iron. Man they feel good. However, about 2 out of every ten shots gets mishit and I loose about 10% in distance. Not bad, but it's the reason I don't play blades anymore. The point is, if these feel and look like baldes with superior performance to game improvement irons, I know what I'll be playing in the future.

  5. I don't think too many sets of those Cobra irons will sell in Canada. They are $4200.+ They are nice though, and the technology is interesting. But, that price is outrageously high.

  6. Lines are great if the line is also balanced my Q is are the Pro V 1 double line balance? Great Video by the way!!! Would love to see the printer make the cobra head ( Magic) 🏌️

  7. The end of this conversation ALMOST went where I was thinking. They won't go to ~30 varieties of a club head that fit a style of golfer … they'll be able to use performance analysis and AI to print a golf club for YOU, the one player, optimized not for your "type" of swing but for "your" swing.
