COBRA TURNS TO METAL INJECTION MOLDING WITH LA GOLF TECH TO CREATE NEW MIM PUTTER LINE

Cobra has been at the lead of several new golf technologies, the first company to integrate 3D printing and one of the first to engage with metal injection molding, a process that uses heated metal powders injected into molds. The result is a manufacturing process that combines the consistency of forging with the efficiency of traditional casting.

Cobra says the new process allows its MIM line of putters to utilize complex shapes with much better manufacturing tolerances, providing better consistency across the line.

Key technologies

Pebax Face Insert

The MIM line uses a new version of the Pebax insert, now firmer and with more durability for improved responsiveness. Crafted from a lightweight thermoplastic elastomer, this insert redistributes mass away from the face to increase forgiveness and stability and improved sound.

LA GOLF’s Descending Loft Technology

With lofts from 4 to 1 degree, this is a tech that helps by adding or reducing loft depending on the stroke. The result is a better roll with optimized launch conditions. “By improving the insert makeup, we were able to make it more durable, deliver a more responsive feel while also freeing up mass to increase MOI and forgiveness,” said Senior Product Line Manager Chad DeHart. “When you pair that with LA GOLF’s Descending Loft Technology, golfers get a consistent launch and a noticeably smoother, end -over -end roll regardless of whether they tend to add or take away loft at impact.”

The line incorporates oversized aiming features, making the putters balanced and bold, and built to focus the golfer on the target.

Which one is for me?

With five versions, the mallet Agera, as well as the Agera RS and RS-30, the Supernova, with its high MOI and wings, and the more traditional Grandsport 35, there’s a MIM version for most golfers.
