I know! But didn't you have to shelve them even before that for some review? Or do I remember it all wrong?

He forgot to send them to Ohio.

I've forgiven him.

Nah, they’ve been my go to for months, even when testing other irons, these were still in the bag. Just spectacularly good.

Got it. They live rent free in my head after hitting Yags'. Even though the King Tours are the best irons I've ever had, I still want to go 3DP at some point.

He "forgot"...

Yags is quite the 3DP salesman. I feel like I need them.

Was also super interesting to hear Yags talk about how it was "not trivial" when talking about how to use 3D printing in the larger game improvement section as it is a different challenge due to the hollow body construction. Will always be super interested in hearing Yags talk about club design and cannot wait to see what Cobra has in store for the future of 3D printing as I was one who hit Yag's irons at the 24 Morgan Cup and couldn't wrap my head around how well I was hitting that tiny iron.

Can't wait to get that inside scoop in September. I have a feeling there are going to be some super cool releases next year just knowing how fast of a pace Cobra has been working recently.

He’s underselling them. They’re that good.

Oh I know, I've hit them. I just like to stay married at the moment. haha

This was a good one. Yags was dropping some knowledge bombs and I thought the possibility of using different powders to get different sounds/feels throughout the club was a great question and thought.

What a fantastic conversation!
 
I have done a lot of 3D printing for various machine design prototyping - all kinds of plastic and metal ... thing is 3D printed part will never be as strong as a diecast or a forged metal part. if one has large quantity of parts needed - 3D printing can't compete for cost in injection molding or forging die parts. it is a very slow process.

3D printing allows designs that simply cannot be done by casting or forging. Regarding strength, it only has to be strong enough to hit golf balls and for that it is plenty strong. You don’t need it to pound nails.

I strongly suggest listening to the pod or watching the video in the first post
 
Listening now. Super fun. Love when @Master Yagley comes on and we get Daniel’s. I need to 3D tours in my life.
 
I made the mistake of hitting the 3DPs at Roger Dunn last weekend...needless to say I am in the process of selling a Kidney and will hopefully have some of these in the bag soonish

Hahaha! They’re pretty crazy, yeah?
 
Another great listen @Canadan. Find it fascinating that they are seeing High Handicappers fitting into these or having just as good results as they are with DS Adapts and Max.

And I suggest you go watch a 3D printing machine make a set of club heads or even a simple thing like a wine glass. itis like watching paint dry.

very confused.
while I do have a 3-D printer, we are talking about completely different things. In this instance, the creator of these golf clubs is discussing what the future looks like (and the present since Cobra has 3d printed irons and putters) which is why I recommended taking a look or listen.

considering that this thread is all about that interview
 
Such a good listen. I totally agree the 3D printing is the next big thing in golf..

It’s going to be so much fun to see where they (Cobra) take this, being at the front of it all.
 
Such an amazing technology. Hopefully demand drives the innovation to make it more widespread.
