Equipment
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.

Are Titleist and Cobra under the same ownership?

I like the orange paint on the irons and this is a classic design that has been made. re-made and tweaked by a lot of golf club companies for more then 50 years.

Orange? I couldn’t play it for that reason. If I am going to drop a grand for the set have to like the looks. Does Cobra sell alot of Rickie colored clubs?

There are a lot of people who like a little personality in their clubs. But don’t worry gramps, there are plenty of companies still making boring stuff for you to enjoy. 🙂

They are getting as bad as TM. I just got the AMP PROS, and they are great irons. Then they come out with a new one, PHHHHT. It looked like RF had last years AMP PROS in the bag at the US Open though. Is newer supposed to be better? I think not.

hawkeye, i hope you realize this is an old post 2012 and the amp cell pro’s are the newest blade as of now. not sure if you thought these were new but they are not, these went in his bag after he switched from titleist irons to cobra.

First Cobra irons i have seen that i like and would use.
Great job, nice to see something original!!
Choice of color would be of benefit also.
Good luck, but don’t think you will need it.

Original?!? Those are anything but original. They are literally the Titleist 712’s that have the Cobra stamp on them. Rickie played the 712’s before moving to Cobra so they gave him pretty much the exact same thing, minus the Titleist stamp.

Those irons are just the titliest 712 mb’s with a cobra stamp on them

Sure, but the Titleist stamp makes it cost much more–
“Titleist. It’s better because it’s more expensive because we said so.”
