Cobra LIMIT3D Putters – Lattice Give Thanks

Cobra’s reputation for highly innovative product design is well-deserved.

From lightweight oversized clubs to groundbreaking utility club soles to milled driver faces to one-length irons to its partnership with Arccos to composite crowns to radial weighting to PWR-COR and so on, it has built a reputation for originality, inventiveness, experimentation, vision, and daring that has been both refreshing and highly effective.

Its use of 3D-Printing has also been a notable development that is now in its fifth year and third generation (generations work differently in golf equipment). The King SuperSport 30 putter, 3D-Printed Putters, and 3D-Printed Tour irons have all been well-received and positively reviewed, and the same is likely to be true of its latest 3D-printed clubs, the LIMIT3D Enzo and Pista Putters.

Though 3D-printing golf clubs might still strike some as excessively futuristic or unnecessarily attention-grabbing (other manufacturers have certainly used 3D printing in the design of their clubs, but Cobra is making the most noise about it), the benefits are undeniable.

3D-Printing enables engineers to create a club with extreme precision and one with a strong structural lattice interior (made using 316L stainless steel) that uses significantly less material than regular putter-making does and, therefore, saves weight that can be repositioned to effect performance gains – high-MOI, making the putters stable and forgiving of off-center strikes.

Once the 3D-printing is complete, the putters are CNC-milled to make the surfaces flawlessly smooth.

Each putter also uses LA Golf’s Descending Loft Technology (DLT) to produce a smooth roll no matter how much shaft lean you create with a forward press (the top of the face has four degrees or loft while the bottom has one degree).

The Enzo is a high-MOI mallet available in two versions – the standard model has a single-bend shaft and is face-balanced with a half-shaft of offset (good for straight back and through strokes), while the Enzo-30 has a slant neck for 30 degrees of toe hang and a three-quarter shaft offset(good for strokes with a slight arc).

The Pista-45 is a compact blade with a plumber’s neck hosel and 45 degrees of toe hang, while the Pista-60 has a small flow neck and a toe hang of 60 degrees (both are good for strokes that are arced).Only 500 of each putter have been produced and they were first announced on April 18th, so there’s a good chance the first printing will have sold out by now. If they prove as popular as the 3D-printed irons, however, a second batch will be along soon enough.
