Cobra Golf's 3D-printed 'LIMIT3D' putters are here: 3 things to know

From where I sit, 3D technology as it relates to a golf club has always been a “yah, someday” concept.

I remember the first time I actually saw something get 3D printed — it was probably seven or eight years ago when an astronaut 3D printed a tool in space. It seemed wild at the time, until I realized folks have been 3D printing items for years, sending me down a bunch of rabbit holes.

At no time did I ever think this technology would make its way to golf, but here we are.

As many companies pick lanes to guide them on their technology evolution (Callaway and its pursuit of Ai dominance for example) Cobra Golf has gone all in on 3D and has leveled up with each iteration.

Cobra 3DP Tour Custom Irons

The KING 3D Printed TOUR irons utilize 3D printing technology to unlock a new realm of performance. Their one of a kind design features the most forgiving blade shape on the market, delivering the forgiveness that aspirational players need, and the sleek looks and soft feel that better players desire. 3D PRINTED STEEL CONSTRUCTION Each iron is fully 3D printed from 316 stainless steel. 3D printing provides significant advantages over traditional methods of casting and forging, unlocking more design freedom and significant performance improvements. FORGIVING PLAYERS BLADE SHAPE 3D printing has unlocked new design possibilities, enabling COBRA engineers to create a compact blade shape with the mass properties (high MOI, low CG) of a game improvement iron without sacrificing looks and soft feel that better players demand. INTERNAL LATTICE STRUCTURE COBRA took a muscle-back blade shape (similar in size and shape to the KING TOUR iron), and transformed the inside of the blade into a complex internal lattice structure to reduce the weight of the club by 33%. That discretionary weight was repositioned to optimize feel, CG position, and MOI.

Recall at the beginning of 2025, it was new Cobra staffer Max Homa who put a fully 3D’d set of muscleback irons in play. I’ve seen ’em up close; they’re flawless. That’s the first thing you will find with anything in the 3D or Metal-injection-molding buckets — the tolerances and consistency club-to-club is at tight as it gets.

Now comes 3D printed putters.

Introducing the New Cobra Golf 3DP Putters

Three things to know

3D printing has opened up some new opportunities for performance lanes that I don’t even think Cobra realized at first: In club design there’s is always a point where you have to juggle between weight tolerances. For example you can design a putter with an extremely high MOI and is super forgiving, but at some point you are limited by how much that particular head will weigh. So a choice must be made to sacrifice one to satisfy the other. With the 3D process that decision gets wiped off the table. If you want to put a high MOI package in a lesser-MOI chassis, it’s possible with 3D printing. Since Cobra is producing these out of a block of steel it actually allows engineers to produce the head at the required design, drill out weight from one location and re-distribute it wherever they like. Take the ENZO design for example, which has up to 170G of weight replaced with lattice which allowed Cobra R&D to redistribute that weight forward with zero compromise on feel and performance.
All Cobra 3DP putters have descending loft technology. Made famous by Sik — now LA Golf — this face technology has four points of loft from top to bottom (four degrees up top and one degree at the bottom) which allows the putter to be optimized for players who lean their shaft and those who add loft at impact.
The only way to make putters with these performance properties is via 3D printing. It’s a new frontier in what’s possible for all club design. The best way to describe it is total production efficiency with very little compromise in the design-vs-weight-tolerance dilemma. Here’s Cobra’s Sr. Product Line Manager Chad DeHart: “As leaders in technology and innovation, we recognized the potential of 3D printing to create more advanced products, the impressive performance gains of the LIMIT3D irons made it an easy decision to apply the same technology to putters. We are excited to introduce these new models and believe players will be impressed by their performance.”
