Well we received this today. Without hitting the driver I will say the looks are cool. I like it. Industrial and new. Something about it is kick xxx. The trusty rusty wedge and now this raw head. Looks like a high tech head from the future.

Interested if it will rust or not. The swingweight was e2 I think and the actual length on out gauge was 47 3/4 ". Looks are sick. Can I handle a long driver? We will see. But if not I can see some modifications in the future. Here is a ton of facts for you and a bunch of Pics below. Enjoy and thanks Cobra for the early look!

Cobra Launches Long Tom Raw and Long Tom Drivers

The Long Tom Driver and Limited Edition RAW Driver Provide Maximum Distance

COBRA is going the distance and letting it fly this fall with the launch of the Long Tom Driver, a four foot long, ultra light driver that is the ultimate weapon for jaw-dropping distance. But that's not all; COBRA will also release the Long Tom RAW, a limited edition, pre-release version of the Long Tom that is hot off the production floor with a RAW, unfinished cosmetic.

"We are breaking the mold with the Long Tom Driver," said Bob Philion, President, COBRA PUMA GOLF. "We are so excited about it that we decided to rush 500 RAW versions right off the production floor and straight to consumers."

The Long Tom and Long Tom RAW Drivers are machines built for distance with the highest length to weight ratio of any COBRA driver, Advanced Material PlacementTM, E9 Face TechnologyTM with dual roll and the new ultra light Grafalloy® Blackbird® shaft.

Only 500 Long Tom RAW Drivers will be released globally, each individually marked with a production serial number. The unfinished cosmetic comes equipped with face and clubhead markings from testing, giving it a unique appearance.
"Our new Long Tom Drivers are all about letting it fly," said Tom Preece, Vice President of Club Research and Development at COBRA PUMA GOLF. "The Long Tom features a new Ti 8-1-1 face that generates extremely fast ball speeds. This new technology combined with the long length and ultra light weight results in extreme distance." The Long Tom name comes from a cannon that was used during World War II and the Korean War. In the 1970's COBRA released its first version of the Long Tom, directly inspired by this cannon. It was a 46" driver and one of the first of its kind. The inspiration from the Long Tom Cannon is seen in the new 48" Long Tom Driver not only in its extreme length, but also in its cosmetic. The all black, cannon cosmetic of the Long Tom Driver and the RAW, unfinished cosmetic of the Long Tom RAW are fierce finishes stemming from the look of the cannon.

Ultralight Shaft and Grip

The Long Tom and Long Tom RAW Drivers are equipped with the new, ultra light Blackbird shaft by Grafalloy. At four feet long and ultra light, the Long Tom Drivers have the highest length to weight ratio of any COBRA driver, resulting in ultimate distance. The shaft also features Speed Coat Technology which helps improve the aerodynamics of the club system for increased clubhead speed. The Long Tom RAW features an all black, ultra light Lamkin® prototype grip, while the Long Tom Driver has the Winn® Ultra Light/Shorty grip. Both grips are shorter in length and designed to discourage golfers from choking down on the club. Long Tom Driver Technology

Both the Long Tom and Long Tom RAW Drivers feature Advanced Material Placement with a high strength thin Titanium 8-1-1 alloy face. This repositions up to 20 grams of weight to move CG (center of gravity) extremely low and deep, resulting in managed spin and launch control despite the extra long driver length. E9 Face Technology with dual roll gives the Long Tom Driver an elliptical face design with a 30% larger Sweet Zone that provides increased distance and accuracy to shots hit from the low heel to high toe. The new canted bulge and dual roll on the club face provide more distance to shots hit above and below the centerline.

The Blackbird technology and performance perfectly complements COBRA's new Long Tom RAW Driver. The driver features Advanced Material Placement with a high strength thin Titanium 8-1-1 alloy face. This repositions up to 20 grams of weight to move CG (center of gravity) extremely low and deep, resulting in managed spin and launch control despite the extra long driver length.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

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.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • 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.”
  • JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
  • jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
    Mizuno MP-32
    Mizuno MP-33 (2 sets)
    Bridgestone J33cb – still own
    Srixon i-302 (2 sets) – still own
    Tourstage X-Blades – still own
    Mizuno Hot Metal – still own
