The 3DP Tour is Cobra's first 3D-printed iron set sold as a standard retail model. It looks like a players blade at address and plays far kinder than one.
What's new
Each head is built layer by layer from 316 stainless using direct metal laser sintering, a process that lets Cobra shape internal cavities a forge or a casting mold cannot. Tungsten fills part of that space low in the head, and from the outside you see only a clean muscleback profile.
The stock set runs 4-iron to pitching wedge, seven clubs in all, with a 3-iron and gap wedge on offer and a six-club option a little cheaper. A KBS steel shaft and Lamkin Crossline grip come standard, and the full set sits near the top of the iron market on price.
How it plays
Feel leads the card at 8.6. Centered strikes are dense and quiet, and you would not guess from impact alone that the head came out of a printer.
Forgiveness at 8.4 explains most of the appeal: that low tungsten gets the ball up and keeps launch steady when contact is less than pure. Distance and workability both score 8.2 with accuracy at 8.0, so a good player can still shape shots without giving up much.
Where it lacks
Value scores 6.4, well below every other number on the card. Much of the premium pays for the manufacturing method, and buyers who only want forgiveness in a compact head will struggle to justify it.
Buying blind is the other worry. Robot data on printed irons is still thin, and limited production means many retailers have no demo set, so getting fitted may take some hunting.
“It hits like a forged blade and forgives like something twice its size. I just wish it cost less.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Looks like a blade at address yet forgives misses like a much bigger head
- Internal tungsten sits low in the printed body, so shots launch high and stay steady
- Feel scores 8.6, and strikes come off soft and solid, closer to forged than cast
Reasons to think twice
- Priced near the top of the iron market, and a 6.4 value score reflects it
- Printed irons are still new, so independent robot testing is sparse next to established sets
- Demo clubs are scarce, which makes a proper fitting hard to find at many shops
