Towards the end of last year, the two-time major winner started dropping hints regarding a big development in the gear space, one that continued to progress this week during DeChambeau’s appearance at the Asian Tour’s International Series India event.
The irons are completely 3D-printed, allowing for a level of precision and intricacy, according to the company, not available in clubs that are forged or cast.
Although the JPX925 Hot Metal line was launched last spring, this follow-up is the forged model that utilises a zippy face material for plenty of distance in a forged iron while delivering the syrupy feel Mizuno is known for in its irons.
The Callaway Elyte drivers look to maximise distance by combining the most productive aspects of a forgiving, lower spin head design with an aerodynamically sleek shape – two design paradigms that typically work at cross purposes.
The new irons make meaningful moves forward with a new hollow-body construction that features Cobra’s largest cupface design in an iron to date for more ball speed.
If you want to take advantage of that fancy new driver you spent half your pay cheque on, you’ve got to learn to make contact with the ball in the sweet spot more often.
The new Cobra LIMIT3D irons will break new ground as the first commercially available clubs made completely through additive manufacturing, or what’s known as three-dimensional (3D) printing.
