easyyy Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 In Rust We Trust...Cobra Golf is releasing the Trusty Rusty again. We have not received all the details yet. As a matter of fact we receive the box unannounced at the offices. The wedge is pre-rusted finish. Was a satin with pre-rusted score lines and black PVD finish, each with a non-plated finish that is 7% softer than chrome to allow it to rust even more over time. This is a sample and not submitted to USGA yet.More details to follow. Here are the Pics...Here are some close ups of the grooves...

golfluvzme Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I like the look of the wedge, myself. I am interested in hearing more with regards to the finish, though. It was my understanding that a PVD finish can only be applied over a hard chrome plate or high polish SS. With those factors, the rust would not even be in play. But, as you mentioned, this arrived unannounced and details are very few and very hard to get additional information. Keep us posted. Thanks for the spy pix.

Bob57 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Wish they had the original sole grind of the first ones. They were adaptable to any condition. The first ones were quite small headed as well. Much smaller than the original forged cavity backs they came out with.. Wonder if Phil Rodgers had anything to do with these--I think he did the first go around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Looks quite good. They've stuck closer to the original than Cleveland have done with the 588! [attachment=850574:Cobra.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVP Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hmmm. The head itself looks nice, but I'm not sure that name and scheme will have a lot of appeal. Just my opinion. I'm a big Cobra fan as well and would like to see some serious wedges from them.

Judge Smails Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Man, I was excited when I saw this post. I loved the Trusty Rusty but was disappointed to see the face on these and the head shape from address. Curious to see what they look like at address in person.
