Cobra Limit3d Irons: The Technology
Forgiveness is something we all require from our irons as we look to hit the ball straighter and longer onto the putting surface. Cobra claimed to have done this by partnering with nTop – a leader in computational design software – in what they believe to have been an ambitious goal to create a compact player’s blade profile, that offers a similar level of forgiveness as an oversized, game improved club with the feel of a forged iron.
What makes these iron’s so forgiving?
Well, the irons were designed using nTop’s software and manufactured with 3D printing technology. The fully 3D printed 316L stainless steel body features an innovative internal lattice structure that allows 33% of the overall clubhead weight to be repositioned without sacrificing strength.
The unique design, which is only possible because of using 3D printing, allows for up to 100g of tungsten to be placed in the heel and toe areas of the clubhead, creating a low CG and an exceptionally high moment of inertia (). Inertia, is essentially finding the best balance of speed and forgiveness.
