Cobra introduces new MIM putter range to replace Vintage series
Cobra Golf, headquartered in Carlsbad, California, USA, has launched a new putter range to replace its Vintage putter series. Constructed via Metal Injection Molding (MIM), the new line allows Cobra’s designers to produce complex shapes with much tighter tolerances than standard manufacturing methods.

Each putter in the MIM family features Cobra’s next-generation Pebax face insert, which the company has stated is now firmer and more durable for improved responsiveness and long-term performance. Made from a lightweight thermoplastic elastomer, the Pebax insert is designed to redistribute mass away from the face to increase moment of inertia (MOI). This reportedly delivers greater stability and forgiveness on off-centre strikes while maintaining a soft feel.
For roll performance, the MIM putter family incorporates LA GOLF’s Descending Loft Technology (DLT). With lofts that progress from 4°, 3°, 2° to 1°, DLT is designed to help correct common putting tendencies of adding or reducing loft during impact.
“The new Pebax insert was a major focus for us with this lineup,” stated Chad DeHart, Senior Product Line Manager at Cobra Golf. “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. 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 Cobra MIM Putters are expected to be available from March.
