Bryson DeChambeau gaming single-length Cobra irons

No. 1 amateur in the world and reigning U.S. Amateur Champion Bryson DeChambeau, who has been gaming a set of single length Edel irons (see those clubs here), was spotted with a same-length set of Cobra King Forged MB irons for the first time at the 19th annual Georgia Cup on Tuesday, according to Golfweek’s David Dusek.

DeChambeau is in the field for the Masters next week (thanks to the U.S. Am win), and reportedly plans to turn pro following the competition. Much has been made of his recent West Coast trip to visit OEMs, with the smart money betting he’d sign with Cobra.

This would seem to confirm that speculation, and it’s interesting as well that the SMU star is putting new irons in play a week before the Masters.

According to Dusek: the irons are “Cobra King Forged MB irons (3, 5-PW, with KBS C-Taper Lite 115 X shafts) are all 37.5 inches long, the same length as a standard 6-iron. Each head weighs 280 grams and has a lie angle of 73.5 degrees.”

Cobra’s Tour rep, Ben Schomin, personally oversaw the set’s construction. Each iron was bent 10 to 12 degrees more upright to DeChambeau’s specs. The soles were ground to his preference, and tungsten plugs were added to the toes of several of the irons. DeChambeau reportedly had a set of King Forged CB irons made to the same specifications as the MBs.

“It took our machinist a day to (add the tungsten weight to) each 3-iron,” Schomin said. “One to do the CB (3-iron) and one day to do the MB (3-iron). And then three more solid days to complete the other irons.”

In the wedge department, DeChambeau is gaming Cobra Tour Trusty 50-, 55- and 60-degree wedges with KBS High-Rev 130 shafts.

And not that it’s a referendum on the new clubs, but DeChambeau lost his Georgia Cup match 4&3 to British Amateur champion, Romain Langasque.

I love all the this is fake talk on here…a simple google search shows a story published the day before this one…research people. It all makes sense when you look at his Edel irons and all the lie angles of them. A single length set is very different than the traditional staggered set. At times I really questions people on here and how much they really pay attention to whats going on before they just jump on here and start leaving messages that bash anyone not doing what they do.

He is getting ready to turn Pro, Cobra is probably his new sponsor. I think it is real, those spec’s are like the Edel irons he plays.

    That’s not due to the single length concept, it his single plane swing.

If this is real, it’s weakly written. If it’s fake, it’s a crappy jab at Cobra. Either way, more sub-par stuff.

He also dropped his putter and started using his hybrid to putt. When asked why he only wanted to carry 13 clubs, he replied, “I like to live dangerously.”

Say it ain’t so Bryson DeChambeau! This has got to be a foolsday joke right?!? If not it’s rather sad. Those Edel sticks were so sweet.
