New Blades for Ogilvy

[TRB151]

COBRA!

Here are Ogilvy's new blades that he put into play at the Accenture. These look prety good. The info is up on the Cobra Blog site of Cobragolf.com.

[Konklifer]

A blade version of the Carbon CB. Forged or cast?

[zzmkdw]

Now I am totally confused...It would appear that the rumor about blades coming out must be true after all.

[Setch]

The toe is squarer than the CarbonCB's. They look like the same blades as before, just with the CarbonCB look stamped/forged on the back

[jjc2257]

Looks like Pro MB stamped on the toe. No?

[phatchrisrules]

If those, or any sort of blade similar to that comes out, I will DEFINITLY buy a set. A full 3-pw set but I will most carry the 7-pw to complimet my Forged Cobra CB"s right now. And if I am playing badly for a while, out come the blades and in go the full set of cb's and if I'm playing amazing, out come the cbs and in a full set of blades. *Drools*

[skembo88]

Anyone know what Driver he's using??? and the shaft he has in it???

[ShoxTP]

those blade look high tech yet clean at the same time. Very nice, look like i should sit on my irons for now. :crazy: :rolleyes:

[Cameron Circle T]

Like was said, they look like chrome versions of what he had before, with a fancy cobra design stamped into em. Very promising for retail i guess.

Just wanted the average joe to think he is playing Carbon CB's.

[Paul Stewart Jones]

Should Cobra be posting this Tour Blog if they dont intent to bring out the irons?

 

The Cobra blades that the Cobra staff were using last year were never released, but proberly would have sold huge amount of them.

[Warszawa]

Cobra, if you're listening, PLEASE RELEASE THESE!

[sandy]

Nice pictures. I had hoped those weren't going to see the light of day. Hideous looking "muscle back" version of the Carbon CBs. Looks like we now have two companys that don't know what a muscle back is. Taylor Made (who will correct that soon) and Cobra. If they come to market count on them being just like the Carbon CBs---Cast 8620 and forged for the tour.

 

Too bad the originals were scrapped---those were beautiful even if they were retreaded 690s.

 

Time for ole HW to help.

AMEN

[littleprov1x]

I like the old ones better. Kevin Na practices at the home course for my college and he hits the original ones...they are sweet. These are pretty nice as well- wish they would've stuck with satin.

[dispatch096]

Maybe they changed Ogilvys irons so that Cobra can release them? Since they only made 25 sets of the other irons. Ogilvy is their marquee player.

According to the Cobra Golf Blog, there is no plans to bring them to market. The admin states:

 

" admin | February 23rd, 2007 at 8:27 am

While a couple of our tour players are currently testing the Cobra prototype MB iron, we do not have any immediate/near term plans to launch this product.

 

We currently offer two products in our line designed for more skilled players; Carbon CB and Forged CB (Villegas, Holmes, and Na). "

 

I put my SS forged 2-LW back in the bag a month ago. I used Bridgeston CB's for a few months and they are great, but the SS's might be the finest iron i have ever played. If they bring these blades to market, I will likely give them a go, but I seriously doubt the will live up to the SS forged. I hope Cobra proves me wrong.

Great there are no plans to bring that to market. That would be a worse seller than the Carbon CBs, Forged CBs, and SS Forged.

 

By the way I agree that the SS forged are among the best made, not just by Cobra but against any Forged cavity back including the pinnacle of irons Miura. I have two complete sets with project Xs in them. One beat to heck and the other untouched.

 

For the other guy that said there were 25 sets made you only missed by 19 the number that were made.

 

Somebody should ask the blog admin what past Titleist irons these are based on. Odds are that question would join the Tidy Bowl Man.

I think the TaylorMade x300fci irons were one of the best sets ever.

[ijustgolf]

I think that stamp kinda has a hint of TM feel pockets don't ya think?

The Miura Japan forged model or the ones forged in Taiwan or Mexico??

 

Even the ones forged in Japan were not as soft feeling as the original SS Forged. Softer than the Forged CB and Carbon CB absolutely but not the SS Forged.

[hardyc]

hello, Oglivy's irons are titleist irons with cobra logos on them. Thats what my rep told me. He said almost all cobra staff players are playing titleist irons with cobra logos.

[Paul Stewart Jones]

They look like a early 90's set of Titleist Tour Models.

[bakerdrew34@hotmail.com]

I really liked last years Cobra blades for their staffers, but for some reason these look pretty good to me

[cplof]

It looks like Ogilvy has switched to the True Temper Dynamic Gold. It also looks like he has gone to graphite in his 3 wood. What shaft is it?

 

Can anyone confirm these?

I had both together with DGS300 at one time. My XFCI were from the TM country manager. He didn't know whether they were Japan or Mexico.

 

Feel was a bit better with the SS Forged, but what made me keep the SS Forged was the sole grind.

I'm in the process of buying SS Forged back ups because I noticed these are the only irons I have kept at the #1 gamer position for more than 6 months. They are now going on 1.5 years at that spot. There must be something to them.

from my best judgment, the cobra staff blades are either 681's, 680's or 670's, definatly not the 690's, which were by far the most hidious of the blade line by titleist, they were way too long from hosel to toe. most titleist staffers still play the 680's or 670's, which would definatly be the choice of the better players.

The gentleman that corrected the MacGregor story said that last year's blades are remakes of the 690s period. He said enough other stuff that convinced me he was from Cobra. He definitely knows more about Cobra than anyone posting here does.

I think Ogilvy is still using the Rifle FCM's that he has used for years. They may look like Dynamic Golds because they also have a step pattern.

 

Not sure about the 3 wood shaft, never noticed what he was using.
