The one potential knock on the AMP Cell Pro is the inclusion of orange, blue, red, and silver paintfill in an otherwise clean design. And of course, for those who want a 100% muscleback set (same as Rickie), you can order it from Cobra’s custom department. As far as combo sets go, the flow design is as good as it gets. Overall the entire set is very well done with the long irons looking enough the part of a blade to make the cavity-back compromise more tolerable. As I’ve mentioned already, offset and topline thickness vary depending on the iron (less offset, thinner toplines as clubs get shorter). Where shape is concerned, the AMP Cell Pro’s toe is slightly rounded, and from toe to heel, the blade is one of the more compact designs I’ve seen recently. It’s an ideal design for a guy who loves the look of a true muscleback but still needs a little bit of forgiveness from his irons. The 7 and 8 irons, despite their cavity-back design are basically indistinguishable from the true muscleback 9 iron and pitching wedge (gap wedge too if you go that route). The long iron’s topline is thicker than that of my current gamers (Miura CB-501), but it’s very much in line with many of the more recent blade designs that is to say it’s probably a tad thicker than purists would like.Īs the set flows from dual cavity long irons to single cavity middle irons the cavity basically disappears. While not truly a blade, visually, the long irons are only just barely cavity-backed. As you move from long to middle to short irons the set flows naturally as offset is reduced, toplines get thinner, and the cavity disappears.Ĭomparatively, those dual cavity long irons are very much in line with the most player-centric of so-called player’s cavity back designs. Long irons have visibly more offset (though certainly not much of it by any reasonable standard), slightly thicker toplines, and a dual-cavity design. While many may be more familiar with the phrase Combo Set, Flow is a better way to describe how Cobra engineers designed the set.

They’re designed for the guy who wants to shape his shots, and certainly not for the guy desperate to hit the ball straight.Ĭobra is calling the AMP Cell Pro a Flow set and that’s an apt description. The AMP Cell Pro is engineered with control in mind. It’s not meant to be forgiving, or “easy to hit”. At the risk of stating the obvious, it’s a blade, dummy. One of Cobra’s 2013 mantras (and that tagline for the Baffler Hybrid Irons) is Golf Made Easy. Low handicap golfers and better ballstrikers

:: Flow Set – Dual cavity long irons (3-6) flow into single cavity mid irons (7-8) and full muscle back short irons (9-PW) blending forgiveness, tour trajectory, and workability. :: Blade Shape – Tour inspired shape and CG placement for optimal trajectory control. :: Forged Technology – Aligned grain structure on carbon steel and tighter tolerances to provide better feel. Worth noting is that even in many true player designs like the AMP Cell, lofts are creeping a bit stronger. Some other manufacturers make that transition earlier (between the 5 and 6), which is why the PW is 46° instead of the what many still consider the traditional 47°.

Lofts are slightly strong (by that same standard) with the transition from 3° to 4° gaps happening between the 6 and 7 irons. Stock Grip: Golf Pride New Decade MCC WhiteoutĪs a testament of sorts to the blade design, the AMP Cell Pro’s stock length is true to what I suppose we’d have to call the modern traditional standard. Fortunately, for those who want to go all in with what Cobra’s VP of R&D, Tom Preece affectionately called butter knives, Cobra has made the Rickie set available through their custom department, and has done so without any of those annoying upcharges that such things usually warrant. Worth pointing out right at the start, while most of the Cobra staff will play something similar to the retail set, Rickie Fowler is still playing a 100% muscleback version of the AMP Cell Pro. What would ultimately become the AMP Cell Pro started with Rickie’s prototypes, and then with input from Rickie Fowler, Ian Poulter, and Jonas Blixt, the design was refined, and finally made its way to retail. The story from Cobra is that the AMP Cell Pro was designed “in collaboration with Cobra’s Tour ambassadors”. If you want them, you can finally get them, and that’s all the matters. How about now? Actually, it was last month, but why split hairs. Fowler’s irons available to the rest of us. From basically the minute Rickie Fowler put a set of prototype Cobra blades into play, Cobra fans and Rickie fans alike have wondered when the company would make young Mr.
