As more manufacturers lean into face technology, Odyssey set out to create something distinct to complement its new Ai-Dual and Ai-Dual Square 2 Square families.
The Cobra 3DP Tour putters, a range that includes a blade and five mallets, evolves the company’s additive manufacturing process for putter construction to incorporate multiple materials surrounding a weight-saving 3D-printed nylon crown structure with stainless steel and tungsten for increased stability for better strokes, better impacts and more consistent roll.
Scotty Cameron’s latest Phantom mallets are built to blend softer feel with tighter speed control, thanks to a full-face carbon-steel insert and a new chain-link milling pattern that fine-tunes sound without dulling feedback.

The Cobra OPTM family of drivers looks to take a new step toward enhancing stability and forgiveness through special shaping and balanced internal weighting for more consistent distance and dispersion.
Cobra’s King Tec-MD is built to bridge the gap between driver and fairway wood, offering a smaller, more controllable option off the tee and a playable alternative from the turf.
January remains the month when equipment stories dominate the headlines, as manufacturers announce forthcoming products and tour players reveal new deals while dialing in gear for the season ahead.
