Recommended Posts

This driver should be announcing this today. Having held it in my hands. I am confident it will be a good step forward for Cobra. They have been doing very well at inch by inch making improvements.

I had heard the media embargo was ending. I think it is getting close, genuinly excited for this release.

It's still in effect for pictures and technical data.  Obviously Cobra let the media attending the launch event yesterday give out a few teasers.  But full info will be released soon and you can count on our staff to have all the details.

I do not doubt that at all. This driver is going to be a big success in 2020. I can see it being one of the top selling drivers next year. It is that good.

I saw it at Cobra last week, and I couldn't put it down, I probably missed half of the rest of the presentation, because I was so intrigued by it.  I can't say I've said that before about a Cobra driver, but this one had my full attention.  Can't wait for people to see it and here the feedback.

Based on how well I hit their current driver (but lacked funds to procure at the time), I'm very interested to see what new tech they will have in this thing! Maybe prices of current gen will drop too 😉

I'm not the best to answer that.  But the best way I can answer is, it's not really close to anything they've done before in a few major areas.   I better stop now, before I type too much 🙂

It is too risky to rub out CG2.  The golf world would lose too many new club sales.

The problem is they have a perception they need to overcome in the general public. They make really good clubs and haven’t had many base products in the last 4 years but due to the cheap perception that has been associated with the brand they just don’t sell well. Their demo days around here are almost dead unless they are in either a large scale event with many of the other brands or at one thats them and a brand with more interest like tm or callaway.

I work in golf retail, and we have sold a ton of Cobra equipment over the last year or two. Especially since the F9 products. I can see that continuing. The new forged tech irons are going to be a good seller. They are starting to make headway. The single length thing is still a very slow burn. I have had lots of people try them but I have yet to sell anyone a set. If I had to rank in terms of sales numbers for me personally. It is Callaway, Ping, then Cobra in terms of volume. Then TM, Titleist, and everything else.

Interesting that you guys sell more Cobra than TM.  Is that a concerted effort to?   What part of the country are you in?    At our course the only time we sell any Cobra is when they are out for a demo day.   We will generally sell a few drivers then and maybe a set of irons.   But for all the others, Taylormade, Titleist, PING and Callaway people will just order those based on trying our demo's or just from "knowing what they want"

The shop I frequent sells very little and I don’t recall the last time I saw anything new from Cobra in anyone’s bag and I play loys of courses as a single and get paired with lots of people.

i think like many brands they have some regional support compared to more wide spread. I see more Titleist, ping and Tm on the east coast and northeast.

cobra unfortunately sits in single digit market share from the numbers I’ve seen in the past. Their iron share is roughly 7th and behind pxg.

Those stuffy northeastern'ers.. hahaha. They for sure do not have the posh factor of say Titleist or PXG. Out west, I see a lot of Cobra so your regional assessment may be correct.

I think Cobra is vastly underrated but they don't do themselves any good to break out of the single digit percentages for market share. 

Their fitting carts at most big box stores are the bare bones with few shaft options and not all shafts are available in all flexes. Have a better fitting cart with more than 3 shaft options in regular or stiff flex. Geez, carry an X Flex in one or two shafts. 

They don't do anything to distinguish themselves from their competitors. While their marketing is sufficient on social media and other golf outlets, it's not flashy, not riveting or really ruffles any feathers. Make some substantial claims about their clubs compared to their competition. Geez, quote the MGS Most Wanted results like other companies...The F9 was the straightest driver in 2019! And leave it at that! The F9 had better ball speeds than the Ping 410 line, and longer than PXG...mention that against their competitors. Offer an incentive for people to buy their clubs or heck, just try them out. How about buy a driver and win a chance to play a round with Bryson or Rickie or any of their other brand loyalists. 

I don't claim to know their golf budget and maybe right now a lot of their cash is being dedicated to R&D but that marketing arm of the company needs an injection of cash or new leadership. 

And this is where I end my rant...

I am pretty sure the price drops happened today.  Got an e-mail from somewhere announcing it.
