Rickie Fowler's new Cobra blades

[jrbs118]

Anyone else seen these things? They won't come out for quite a while I imagine but they match the new Cobra amp wood line. First week that Rickie has had them in the bag. They look alot like Titleist 712's without the logos if you ask me though... hmm

Yeah, there's already a thread about them, including that observation. Golfwrx is also all over them and a lot of people visit more than one golf forum. Then there's the twitter which I've only heard of at this point.

Oh haha my bad i just saw these clubs for the first time yesterday

Gotta love the "Ricky" orange!

With that said, the club-head finish looks terrible. Looks cheap that way........they need to polish it and give it a nice finish.

My 2 cents...

The satin finish is pretty popular right now.

Golf.com has a short interview with Rickie where he discussed the new Cobras.  He said the irons were actually modeled after his old Titleists, so it is no surprise they look similar.  These were specially designed for him based on the specs of the Titleists he played.

I'm sorry but the stamping and paint fill on those look cheap.

For us older guys check out a photo of Mizuno MP-9's and compare it to these. The profile is almost identical. I'd say Mr. Fowler has very good taste indeed! If Cobra delivers clubs like this then switching brands was a good decision in many ways. Go Rickie!

I'm not 100% sure but it looks like a raw finish that hasn't had time to rust so we're probably looking at uncoated carbon steel instead of satin chrome. I also believe nearly everything is hand stamped which would explain the rough look. Cobra has beautiful satin chrome on their current blades and I suspect if these ever make it to production they will be much more "dressed up".

I'm a big fan of the utilitarian look, and naturally love the looks of these!

Agreed.

Agreed, not crazy about the finish either.Either a cheap looking satin, or a raw finish that simply hasn't rusted...I can't exactly tell. Although, the shape looks good.
