GolfSpy_APH Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 https://www.golfdigest.com/story/gary-woodland-signs-equipment-deal-with-cobra Cobra adds to their PGA lineup with Gary Woodland who despite not having the greatest seasons still shows flashes of brilliance often being one of our fantasy Golf sleepers! Leaving Wilson who he had been with for years and now not sure what plyers are with Wilson? What do you think of this move for Woodland and Cobra? sirchunksalot, fixyurdivot and cksurfdude 2 1 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

Wilson announced with week that Kisner and Mullinax were joining the team. Kisner playing all swinging clubs, Mullinax on Irons and Wedges. Good get for Cobra though with Gary, always good to have a US Open champion on the roster when you can. cksurfdude, TR1PTIK, GolfSpy_APH and 1 other 4 Quote In a Hoofer Lite bag TSR2, 10 degrees, A1 setting, Fujikara Speeder NX Blue 50-S Stealth, 15 degrees, VA Composites Nemesys 70-S E722, 19 degrees, Oban Devotion 80-S JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4-P, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex CBX Zipcore 50* (bent to *49) and RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 54* (bent to *55), DG 115 Spinner, Tour Issue Staff Model TG 60*, Dynamic Gold 120 S300 SIK Golf Flo-C Tour B-XS (2022 Model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksurfdude Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Cobras are underrated imho; have played some of their irons and hybrids in the past. Maybe this can help raise their profile a bit (despite having Ricky and Lexi, I think?, as brand ambassadors). GolfSpy_APH, fixyurdivot and sirchunksalot 3 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

GolfSpy BOS Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I feel like that’s a good move for Cobra, he was already sponsored by Puma for clothing right? hopefully he ends up being more visible than Dufner has been.

vandyland Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Hopefully he gets his form back. He is right around 100th in the world these days which is quite the fall from his peak which I think was top 15 in the world.

fixyurdivot Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Interesting. I always felt Woodland was a great fit for Wilson and vice-versa. I wonder who they will get to replace him?

McGolf Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Gary was a class act while sporting the Wilson cap and I am sure he will do the same for Cobra. If history shows,,, not a full season golfer, but with a spike in particular parts of the season which makes for great marketing. I hope the new cobra line suits Grays game and both are successful. Wilson's signing of Kis and mulinax (sp?) is a win of the same kind. Kevin is a great player that looks to be coming back and spiking like Gary. Where Trey is a newbie working to figure out how to win. If he does could a great investment for Wilson. fixyurdivot and GolfSpy_APH 2 Quote Driver - 44.5" 5.0 flex 10.5 deg Graphite Design XC 6S GP MCC4+ 1 deg closed Irons - 5-pw, GW stnd length 5.0 flex same grip 1 deg flat.

Not a lot of big names there to sign and he seems to be a good get with what I would call pedigree. Not a superstar or top top player, however probably a lot less demanding than Bryson.

I think it fits with the pure distance vibe Cobra is going for, at least with its woods. If nothing else, Woodland hits the ball far. After reading what Ping had to do to create a set of one length irons for Bryson and some of the comments Bryson made about the clubs Cobra built for him, I don’t know why any company would sign him.

Yeah he has a name but he doesn’t have the ability to move equipment. Wilson tried hard to get him in their driver and they couldn’t. Now cobra has a better product in that department but he’s not around enough to generate eyes on the product. He misses almost as many cuts as he makes. He does at least get some top 5 and top 25 in those but he’s overshadowed by stars and superstars.

Big fan of Woodland, especially after the "I got this" hole with Amy at the '19 Phoenix. And Cobra is known as a land of woods so Woodland just seems to fit as part of solid marketing.

richk9holes Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Complete aside, but I'd like to shout out the crazed fan or family member I used to hear at a lot of tournaments who would belt out "We love you Gar-bear!" after his drives. I'd hear the same voice often at different tournaments. Gar-bear is an excellent nickname for anyone named Gary particularly those you wouldn't normally think of as huggers.
