We will have a lot more coming up on this, but today Cobra Golf is introducing the third generation of T-RAIL hybrid irons. The new version continues to utilize a hollow, hybrid-iron shape with innovative Hollow Baffler Split Rail Technology, aimed at giving players a combination of high launch and plenty of forgiveness.

T-RAIL continues to feature a hollow, hybrid design but brings in a flatter, iron like face. The wide sole is in place to help golfers from most lies, with ease of launch. The latest brought to the table from Cobra with the T-RAIL is something they call H.O.T Face Technology. Despite its cliche like name, there is a lot that goes into it.
H.O.T Face Technology is an Artificial Intelligence Designed face insert that utilizes a unique variable face thickness pattern. Designed to give you not only better speed when you miss the sweet spot, but also in place to create more consistent distance for all shots. The result has also expanded the “Sweet Zone” by 30% over the previous version.

The one area that some THPers were pretty vocal about with the last T-RAIL lineup was the sound and Cobra has addressed that as well. Thicker internal rib structures were implemented that should offer a more full and dense sound creating a very pleasant feel.
Each of the clubs in the set, bring with it their Hollow Baffler Split Rail Technology. The Baffler Rails, paired with the wide sole design allow the club to glide effortlessly through the turf. This allows for more speed retention for those that might struggle with entering the ground a bit earlier than the ball. The front portion of each rail are fully hollow, which creates up to 70% more flex on the sole right behind the face, which should allow easier retention and creation of speed.

The set is done as a 7 piece combo set starting with a 4 hybrid and then going 5-PW in the hybrid irons. It is available for both RH and LH golfers and comes with a price tag of $999. Eash set comes standard with the Cobra Ultralite 50g graphite shaft in R or S as well as a lighter weight Lite flex. A heavier option in steel is available through the Cobra Custom shop.
Both Men’s and Women’s options will be available beginning on November 4th of this year. For more information, check out their website at www.cobragolf.com.
It was my friend but he got them from Golf Galaxy I believe
You will have to let us know what you think when they get here. You hitting them tonight??
Are you going to do anything to help bring the swing weight back up ? That 5i being about an inch shorter is going to be around a C3-C4 at a 7ii length.
Yes, I’ll start with some lead tape,plus the lead will help preserve the finish ?. Sitting around getting over Covid/pneumonia is getting costly. I refrained from a bag yesterday ? though!
Hope you feel better soon !! That’s gonna be a lot of lead tape…about 12g right to bring it back up 6 or so SW points? Think 2g of head weight = 1 sw pt or thereabouts.
Appreciate the well wishes sir! I’m definitely on the mend from where I started. Second time in a year., it sucks! It’ll be a bit of tape, but I’m more of a feel player. I’m not a real down to the numbers guy, don’t sweat the small stuff. . I like to tinker a bit, not NEAR as much as in the past. Hopefully with the Recoil 95 f3 and Lamkin OS Tour Velvet it won’t take long once they arrive. I put a couple 2” strips on the back of my W/S Launch Pads when I played them. Made a world of difference, they came in light too. They had Px 5.5 steel.
Per Cobra they come stock at c8, so 1“ of tape is roughly 2 grams of weight. Should be ok, slathered or not ?
What I had the Gen 1’s the sole width was even across the set. But because of the loft of the wedges their back was more visible if that makes sense. So they appeared larger to my eye.
Thank you!
I know we were talking about it briefly with @JB in the Morgan Cup thread, but was was your experience like @willplaysgolf with these as you transition your bag? I believe you had the last gen but this line looks like improvements to a similar design thought.
I’ve just tried them in the 6-7 range as a transition from irons to hybrids. I just have a prior gen 6i at the moment, but from what I’ve looked at the specs haven’t changed a ton over the last few iterations. It’s been a bit since I’ve hit it on the sim, but off memory I find they launch higher than a GI iron but not as high as a 6h. Carry distance is pretty in line with players distance/GI of similar loft. They are slightly easier to turn over for me than a GI or Forged Tec type iron but not overly so. If you ignore the junk in the trunk, the offset and blade length are in line with GI irons which is what got me interested in trying one as a mid/long iron. The sound/feel is kind of ambiguous and I don’t like it as much as a GI iron or hybrid, but that may be something that has improved in recent versions. As mentioned I think more folks should try them between irons and hybrids and/or as a hybrid replacement if they don’t get along with hybrids. I think Jose mentioned they are great if you are recovering on a Saturday morning ?
Here’s a pic of the 6i compared to Forged Tec and Aerojet 6 irons, and another compared to an LTDx 6h. Again disclaimer this is a prior gen version.

This sounds like a Jose quote ?
With recoil 95 these are divine.
When they arrive back to me i can throw them on the scale.
Wow, Umm that’s a Big Iron. A Commercial keeps popping in my head… Where’s the Beef.
Kidding aside one day I will use these, love the Baffles on my Cobra 3W
They’re not as big in person although quite bubbly, nothing like other hybrid irons I’ve played.
Bubbly, never heard that used with Golf Club before. ?
Here’s the ‘23 T Rail when I bagged them. Had Recoil 95s in them but I went back to steel. The 4 you see in the bag is a W/S Launch Pad. They are super easy to hit “irons?”.
I do like them but I just get better results with steel. I was hitting moon balls and I’m a natural highball hitter. The Recoils are
boardy feeling which I like. If I had it to do over, I’d go stiff flex in them instead of regular. I put some lead on mine but they were still light feeling to my liking. I’ve gone back to my blades.
Indeed they are! Put mine in the bag today. Took possession of them before the round. I love the flight with the Recoil. I had previously said I was hitting moon balls but today they were just nice high, soft landing machines!
Mine were in the bag for today’s round. 1st round I’ve played in roughly 6 weeks. Figured why not. Didn’t try and force any issues. Just let the club do the work. Today was a shamble beings course was booked up for the upcoming holiday. We are right on the lake here.

Just awesome sir! How are they working out? I want to split mine as noted above with T Rails in 4-7 and go 8-GW in the AJ!
One area where these seem to be doing well for me in some early testing is that they are spinning a bit more than the previous line, which I found very low spin. The miss hit is not some knuckler that falls out of the sky, but rather really serviceable. The ball flight is naturally a little draw biased, but with my move tends to fly fairly straight at target.
Landing is soft, descent angle is really good. Distance is where things get interesting, because these are LONG! Surprisingly long. So much so that I might move on from the 3 and just have the 4 in the bag.
The actual T Rail itself stops at a 4 correct? Then there’s a choice of a regular hybrid, right? Which the Cobra site shows a 4-6 hybrid option.
Thanks for ruining my dreams ?
I just go from my 17* fairway straight to a 4 Launch Pad I saved from a previous set. It’s 21* but my OCD says get the 4 T Rail, it’s a 20*. Works great for me with the Launch Psd, only thing is the Cobra site is slim for graphite shafts seems like currently.
Were you not able to order single T-Rails on cobra site ? I know I’ve always been able to through online retailers
I have been yes. Over the weekend it was showing most iron options being out of stock for whatever reasons. I jumped on it this morning and had my local go to guy put in the order.
They do indeed seem to take off in a hurry. Didn’t play mine today but will in Wednesday’s round.
I can’t speak to the latest gen model but agree on the first gen T-Rail. For me they had a higher launch angle, flew higher and spun more than my Cleveland Altitude irons I had at the time. Very playable iron for those that need help with launch.
They do seem to spin a touch more than I’d like but distance is on par with my other hybrid sets I’ve owned. Still really like mine, just haven’t totally commit to them, just yet. I’m trying though to fully commit little by little.
