Cobra Snakebite-X Wedge review - National Club Golfer | National Club Golfer

I really liked how the ball popped off the Snakebite-X and the sound that it made was also very nice. This is all thanks to the TPU insert that Cobra has added into the back of the wedge, which is the black panel. This is placed behind the sweet spot to provide that cushioned feel on every shot.

The sole has been upgraded to a teardrop grind which is there to provide a little more confidence to players as it sits behind the ball. This is designed to be a versatile grind so you can hit a variety of different shots with this wedge. I found this worked for standard shots, and when I shut the face down but wasn’t always the easiest to use with a open face due to the thicker sole.

The Snakebite-X features some impressive features. The CNC Milled Snakebite grooves are now 11% deeper and have 40% sharper edges. Out on the course, this was certainly noticed on chip shots as there was a nice amount of spin created.

The Snakebite-X now features 50% more in wet conditions than the previous generation. I haven’t tested the previous model, but I didn’t see much variation in spin between dry and wet conditions.

Overall, I think that although this is tailored to mid-high handicappers I would not feel ashamed to have this in my bag. It feels great off of the face, and for the money, you really can’t beat it.
