Cobra launches all-new MIM putter family for 2026
Cobra Golf has today announced the launch of its all-new MIM Putter Family, a complete lineup engineered using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology.
Designed to replace Cobra’s Vintage putter family, the new MIM lineup is constructed entirely using metal injection molding, a manufacturing process that is designed to combine the consistency of forging with the efficiency of traditional casting.
Per Cobra, this advanced process allows the brand’s engineers to produce complex shapes with dramatically tighter tolerances, resulting in excellent head-to-head consistency and refined detailing across every model.
Each putter in the MIM family features Cobra’s next-generation Pebax face insert, now firmer and more durable for improved responsiveness and long-term performance.
Made from a lightweight thermoplastic elastomer, the Pebax insert redistributes mass away from the face to increase moment of inertia (MOI), in design to deliver greater stability and forgiveness on off-center strikes while maintaining a soft premium feel.
To further enhance 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 helps correct common putting tendencies of adding or reducing loft during impact in design for optimized launch and maximum end-over-end roll performance.
“The new Pebax insert was a major focus for us with this lineup. 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 Golfs’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.” – Chad DeHart, Senior Product Line Manager at Cobra Golf
The Cobra MIM Putters will retail for $279 and will be available at retail starting March 13, 2026.
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.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
