Cobra Golf unveils new SnakeBite wedges
Cobra Golf has this week unveiled its updated SnakeBite wedges.
The wedges will be available in three models: SnakeBite, SnakeBite One Length, and an-all new game improvement model, SnakeBiteX. The updated SnakeBite groove design is designed to maximize spin and fittingly produce more “bite” around the greens.

The SnakeBite Groove Technology utilizes a re-engineered CNC Milling process to tighten groove tolerances, maximize groove volume, and create the most aggressive groove Cobra Golf has created to date.

The new Groove Technology increases the groove depth by 11 percent and sharpens the edges by 40 percent in a bid to deliver maximum spin to the ball.

In addition, Cobra’s progressive spin technology optimizes performance by tailoring groove lengths and groove depth for each wedge loft.
The 48- 54-degree lofts feature a traditional groove length and narrower and deeper grooves in design to deliver consistent spin and trajectories on the lower lofted wedges.
The 56- 60-degree lofts feature full face groove length and wider and shallower grooves to maximize spin on shots with an open face when the ball is more likely to make contact with the high toe area.

The 58- and 60-degree wedges feature a new versatile notch design that moves the classic Cobra notch towards the heel in design for improved clubhead delivery through any turf or sand conditions.
The SnakeBite Wedge ($159) is available in two different finishes (satin chrome and QPQ black) and three grinds:
- 1. Versatile grind: an excellent all-around grind for medium to firm course conditions, featuring toe, heel and trailing edge relief.
- 2. Classic grind: features a progressive sole width from heel-to-toe, with trailing edge relief, for neutral to steeper swings in a variety of course conditions.
- 3. Widelow grind: a wide, low bounce sole works its magic out of soft bunkers and soft turf conditions and prevents the leading edge from digging.

Designed at 37.5”, the One Length SnakeBite configuration aims to promote a repeatable setup and swing for increased consistency and accuracy around the greens. The OneLength is offered in 48-, 52-, 54-, 56- and 60-degree lofts with the Versatile Grind.
The SnakeBiteX Wedge ($159) is an all-new game improvement model featuring a hollow cavity back design built with a Soft TPU Insert in design for maximum forgiveness and great feel. The wedge features full face SnakeBite grooves across all lofts in a bid to provide superior spin performance on any open face shots. Additionally, the wedge is equipped with a new teardrop grind that seeks to provide versatility in any turf conditions. The SnakeBiteX is offered in 48-, 52-, 56-, 60-degree lofts in a satin chrome finish.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
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.

I’m sure they’re wonderful, just as wonderfully performing as my KSigs, but now I have $ left over to buy an overhyped driver.
