Review: Cobra 3D Printed Tour irons 

The Cobra Limited Edition 3D printed irons were popular, but only 500 sets were made, so chances are you didn’t get your hands on them. But, in 2025, you might just be able to change that. Should you be investing in the new irons from Cobra? Let’s take a closer look.

The new Cobra 3D Printed Tour irons utilise 3D printing technology to unlock a new level of performance that delivers the forgiveness of a game improvement iron with a sleek look and soft feel of a players blade. That’s certainly an exciting prospect, so how do the irons fare? 

The First Look

One of the best looking irons you’ll see. Really clean, compact and they look incredible at address.

I really like the look of lattice structure, which you can see on the back of the clubhead. That’s there to improve performance, but it also adds to the aesthetic of these impressive looking irons.

The Tech

An important section for these clubs. Let’s see what Cobra has to say about the tech in their new releases.

Each iron is fully 3D printed from 316 stainless steel using a Direct Metal Laser Sintering process, a metal 3D printing technology used to build metal parts with exceptional mechanical properties and precision. This manufacturing method can produce complex designs that cannot be achieved using traditional casting or forging methods. With the original LIMIT3D irons, and now the King 3D Printed Tour, Cobra wanted to deliver an iron that is unlike anything else on the market: a players blade that can be enjoyed by a wide range of golfers – from tour players to mid and higher handicaps alike.

Similar in size to the popular forged King Tour irons, with a slightly smaller in blade length and thinner in the topline, but longer and more forgiving overall, the Cobra 3D Printed Tour irons feature a complex internal lattice structure that reduces the weight of the club by 33%, allowing designers to reposition a significant amount of discretionary weight (up to 100g) lower and deeper in the clubhead to achieve the lowest CG and highest MOI possible in a smaller blade shape.

The internal lattice structure, which can only be created via 3D printing technology, also provides additional stiffness and strength to support the clubface and fine-tune acoustics of each iron for optimised sound and feel. In addition, due to the significant weight savings provided by 3D printing technology, up to 100g of tungsten is positioned low in the heel and toe areas resulting in a low CG and high MOI that mirrors that of a game-improvement iron for exceptional forgiveness and consistency. 

“The 3D printed LIMIT3D irons were the first commercially available 3D printed clubs, and they sold out so quickly we had to make more,” said Mike Yagley, Vice President of Innovation & AI, COBRA Golf. “The new Cobra 3D Printed Tour irons offer the same premium construction, performance, and feel, but will now be available as a standard COBRA model.” 

The bunkered Verdict

If you’re a high handicapper that has dreamed of playing blades, your dreams are about to come true. This is an incredibly impressive iron.

What Cobra has done is delivered that forgiveness of a game improvement iron, created a player’s blade like shape and combined the two. It’s impressive, feels great off the middle and is responsive on those heel and toe strikes like a blade. The speed and distances are great, the sound and feel really standout as it fizzes off the centre, but you can still get that feedback like a blade on mishits but get the forgiveness of a game improvement iron.

So much fun to hit and again I can see these being popular with golfers of all levels.
