Cobra unveils ‘King Vintage’ family of putters
Cobra Golf has today introduced its King Vintage series of putters with model names inspired by classic cars.
The Vintage series of putters feature a steel chassis, simple sightlines for alignment, and a black and turbo yellow color scheme. With multiple shapes, hosels, and an adjustable weighting system, the Vintage family has a variety of options for any style of putting stroke.
In addition, Cobra engineers worked with SIK Golf and Bryson DeChambeau to design improved roll in a soft yet crisp feeling aluminum face insert utilizing SIK’s patented Descending Loft Technology (DLT), which features four descending lofts on the face.
The King Vintage Sport-45 ($249)
The King Vintage Sport-45 putter features a traditional blade shape with a plumber neck hosel.
The construction consists of a 304 stainless steel chassis with a single sightline, while a 45-degree toe hang is designed for players with a slight arc that desire a blend of stability and control.
An aluminum face insert is designed with SIK’s DLT, which utilizes four descending lofts (4,3,2,1 degrees) in design for accurate roll trajectory for descending, neutral, and ascending attack angles.
In addition, the Sport-45 putter is equipped with two 20-gram sole weights that can be adjusted to plus-five or minus-10 each to tune the overall headweight.
The custom weights (10, 15,20, and 25 grams) are sold separately through custom and on Cobra’s website, while the putter comes equipped with a lightweight polyurethane Lamkin Sinkfit Connect grip.
King Vintage Sport-60
The second offering in the “Sport” blade shape is the King Vintage Sport-60. The putter features a flowneck hosel design that creates a 60-degree toe hang that is suitable for players who have a stronger arc putting stroke.
The Sport-60 putter is equipped with two 25-gram sole weights that can be adjusted up to minus-15 grams each to decrease the overall head weight up to minus-30g.
The King Vintage Torino ($249)
This putter features a mid-mallet shape with a single bend shaft designed to create a face-balanced design that caters to top layers with a straight-back, straight-through stroke.
Like the blade models in the family, the Vintage Torino uses a 304 stainless steel chassis with triple sightlines for enhanced alignment at address. An aluminum face insert is designed with SIK Golf’s DLT. The Torino putter is equipped with two 10-gram sole weights that can be adjusted up to 15 grams each to increase the overall head weight.

The King Vintage Nova ($249)
The King Vintage Nova features a popular fang shape designed for enhanced stability and improved alignment and a single bend hosel for a face-balanced design suitable for players with a straight-back, straight-through stroke.
The Vintage Nova chassis is constructed using 304 stainless steel and is equipped with a 6061 aluminum (aircraft grade) face insert featuring SIK’s DLT with four descending lofts (4, 3, 2, and 1 degrees).
The second offering in the “Nova” fang shape is the King Vintage Nova-40. The putter features a short slant hosel design that creates a 40-degree toe hang that is suitable for players who have a slight arc to their putting stroke.
The King Vintage Stingray ($249)

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
