Cobra BiO Cell+ Irons: In-hand photos and comparison pics
Check out out in-hand and comparison photos of Cobra’s new Bio Cell+ irons, which are smaller and have less offset than the company’s Bio Cell irons that were unveiled in November.
The Bio Cell+ irons include much of the same technologies as the Bio Cell irons, with two tungsten weights in their cavities that are placed on the perimeter of the cavity on the 3-through-7 irons and behind the impact area on the 8 iron, 9 iron, pitching wedge and gap wedge. But they’re cast from a softer 431 stainless steel, and have a more compact undercut that allows for more precise placement of the irons center of gravity: low in the short irons and mid irons, and higher in the short irons.
The Bio Cell+ irons come stock with True Temper’s Dynamic Gold shafts and will sell for $799 (3-G) when they hit stores on Feb. 7.

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

Being a younger guy in my mid twenties… with style, and enjoying hitting the long ball. I love these clubs! These irons look sleek, and hit very well. I applaud Cobra for having the ability to be creative, outside of the box, and for being productive all at the same time! Keep it up Cobra… Don’t back down, why? They say haters are going to hate! And they will. But with younger guys like myself, and future generations… We like seeing clubs on the market that have an eye popping look, and oh yeah! Did I mention they hit great as well?

What would you prefer? A higher score with pretty pretty clubs or a lower score with not-so-pretty clubs?
From what I can see, the tech is very advanced. Look up “resonant cavities” and think about what they can do 🙂
BTW, I have no association whatsoever with Cobra Golf.

OK, i’ll be nice, photos are making them look fat, chunky and ugly, but in a real touchy session, if they are slim they may look alright.

Technology sounds legit. Not just coming out with the same irons every year like some companies. I give ’em credit for that. And I’m sure there is gonna be that patented Cobra choice of colors…which could be kinda awesome actually.
Real pretty from top down, that’s all I care about. Not too much offset and small topline. I’ll give it a try!!!

Somebody left Callaway, went over to Cobra’s office and threw up metal bits after eating too many razor blades for thrills and this is what came out.

Wow
Cobra went after the IZOD multi color crowd now the Star Trek Nerds.
Rename them Borg and go all in Cobra
Or Yeah their the ugliest clubs ever but have you tried them yet?

Hitting is believing… Regardless of looks, Cobra irons have flat out performed the past few years… and when was the last time looks lowered your scores? I’d give them a try and let the performance do the talking.

It comes with a clown hat on the top of the grips. You would be the clown with those irons. Ugly!

Seriously need to clean up the look. like a car with no fenders or bumpers

Looks like the human/Alien hybrid. Sigourney Weaver needs to roll up into the Cobra factory and put these things out of their misery.

I have an ugly backside, but I look great from above and when you address me. I have a stifff shaft and I’m told i’m pretty groovy. I reckon these are my perfect set. We were separated at birth. Chill Out WRXers 🙂

These irons look like the villain from Batman. Ugliest irons I’ve ever seen. Stop production NOW!

i like them, they are a little busy but still look great. i wouldnt mind adding these to the bag to replace my amp cell irons.

Step in the wrong direction for cobra…look so bad.

Didn’t Nike already make these irons? Seem to remember some similar-looking fugly Nikes…

Jan 10, 2014 at 1:29 am
Even though I am new to golf and a young person, those look horrible. Man did they get any feedback before they made those?

Jan 10, 2014 at 12:43 am
honestly don’t think they could have made an uglier iron if they tried.. I didn’t care for all the orange they were using because of ricky fowler, but I guess that was just a warm up for the ugliest irons ever to be made. I think the designer was watching too man batman movies while thinking these up.
David Smith

Who designs these? I don’t think there is anything uglier than these.

Jan 9, 2014 at 10:11 pm
Agree with others… they look ok in address position, but I would be embarrassed to have these in my bag because the backside is probably one of the ugliest designs I have ever seen. Awful looking. Cobra has jumped the shark.

I think they look pretty busy. But they really look a lot like the callaway razr x irons i used to play.

Hey, can I have my clubs back please?
markb
Jan 9, 2014 at 5:58 pm
Can’t agree more, these are real Medusas. As long as you look at them from address or in front you’re safe. But if you flip em around and don’t use a mirror, you’ll likely turn to stone. Too bad, because they probably work well.

I realize one man’s medicine may be another man’s poison but, the back of these irons may be the most unattractive design I have ever seen. Perhaps their performance will be such that we all may covet a set of them. Regardless, they shall never darken the cavity of my bag!

They don’t look bad at address but as soon as I catch a glimpse of the cavity I wanna tear my eyes out. No thanks.
