Cobra-Puma Golf "Trusty Rusty" Wedge Spy Pics!!!

[wvuwhat]

If they look like that when they come to retail I will be picking 2 or 3 of them up. The icing on the cake would be if they came with DG Spinner's in them.

Also, Cleveland Golf, if you're listening, this is how you re-release a club that you did well with.

[LA_]

Anyway we can get updates on how this club rusts over a period of time? I am interested in how the finish looks after being exposed to the elements/ being played.

[realitycheck]

I wish they looked a hair more like the originals. My favorite wedges of all time!

[3wood]

def looks similar to the scratch wedges

Very nice lookiing , why do you have Puma with Cobra Hyphened?

Puma bought Cobra.

Cobra belongs to achusnet I thought? The more I look at them the more I am impressed. The grooves look like they might be something to look into. and I love the rust look. A guy I met a few times who used to be a Tour Rep for Adams Golf had the sweetest set of Rusted irons I ever seen. You might be able to look up Sticky Willams and get pics of them . They were so cool there was pics of them online a few yrs ago.

Would like to try this one out

[CALI]

Very cool!

[dab36]

Still use this rusty, could not pry it from my cold dead hands......I seriously would not trade this for a custom Yuri or whatever some expensive wedge is....

[maddog4546]

They look awesome, but I'm more concerned about performance.

[mtomaro09]

Different looking...having never played the originals, it might be fun to try out. It is hard to break up with a wedge(s) you love though. It is easier to replace a girlfriend then a good wedge.

[Atrain186]

Definitely gonna get me one of these!! They look proper swish.

[robbie91]

YES!! I will take one .. These might put cobra on the map again haha the old ones were so good its stupid

(just to protect my post from some bashing, I have not read all the pages of this thread, only the posts on this page, so if I say something redudant, forgive me)

but guys...my Cobra rep came by today, and I started swing these in the shop. At address they look fantastic. 3 different finishes, all made to rust because they are not nickel plated. Yes even the chrome and black versions will rust. Hence the name, duh...

They did feel just a hair light on the swingweight, D3 on the 49* thru 57*, and D5 on 59* and 61*. But I did like the fully-blacked-out S200 shaft.

The laser etching around each groove does make the grooves look wider, like the old non-conforming ones. The black lamkin grips have an orange butt end, something the rep called "Puma-fying".

They are doing this to all the new Cobra products--adding touches of bright lime and orange, since the all-important FOWLER name is crossing over to be a Cobra staffer. They want all the new clubs to actually be distinguishable on the retail rack from other bland black schemes of mostly everyone else. Trust me, they will stand out.

The new Baffler hybrids have bright lime green grips, and the AMP series will be sporting the orange and grey color scheme.

But I digress, this is about the wedges.

I ordered a 51, 55, and 59 degree set, and I seriously could not be more excited for February when they will hit the showroom floor.

Thanks for the info. I'm not too crazy about bright colors but I love cobra gear. I'm going to put a hold on my club ho'ing until I see the cobra 2012 line up. Can't wait either.

dah! Feb release date?
i was hoping sooner rather than later as i would like to see these side by side to the MP-R12s. i was hoping to pull the trigger next month.

[Vytis33]

Wish they'd just leave the Cobra logo and the loft/bounce on the back.

Did you get to see the 'Big' Trusty Rusty wedges too?

[That Bob Guy]

If I remember correctly, the old model from back in the day, had a very small head? Are these small also?

[Konklifer]

Now they just need to bring back the SS Forged irons!

[pro-fitt]

oh YEAH! does anyone know if they will a cc model?

I am pretty sure any new club being produced now have conforming grooves.

[sork_snrnrp]

I didn't even know that cobra used to make wedges

but it looks nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I definately will be picking one up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shuddleston]

pumped about these. i wonder if they can give scratch some competition for the spots in my bag.

[dugan256]

These wedges look sweet. February can't get here fast enough!

[rgolf06]

Really like these. This grind was done by Cobra long before Scratch did it

It was actually Phil Rogers that designed these wedges back in the day if I remember correctly.

I loved the Trusty Rusty wedges! Glad to see them coming back!

As an employee or at least under contract with Cobra I guess? So that means its Cobra's design of course. A company consists of people, some of them designers. You wouldnt call a drug by the name of the chief scientist that developed it would you? Like "Viagra was not developed by Pfizer, but by the Dr Hartzwurtz that is working at Pfizer" or somethin like that. This is Cobra's design. They own it.
