Building upon the success and popularity of their 3D-printed TOUR irons, COBRA Golf is releasing a batch of new limited-edition 3D-printed putters.

How popular are COBRA’s 3D-printed irons? The initial run of 500 sold out so COBRA printed another batch. After that batch sold out, COBRA released a third batch this spring.

These irons are as hot as hot can be. If we were talking about books, you know, the things made of paper with words, only the best of bestsellers would be on the third printing inside of a year.

COBRA Golf is hoping the golfing public will have a similar response to these new LIMIT3D putters. Like the irons, these new LIMIT3D are printed using 3D metal printers. 

3D printing is a novel golf club manufacturing approach. So novel, in fact, that it allows COBRA to design and build putters that would be impossible with traditional cast or milled manufacturing.

One of the things I enjoy about being a golf writer is vetting marketing claims that sound, well, crazy.

It could be a miracle cure for a slice or a tee that, shockingly, will give you five more yards. Finding the voodoo behind these magic elixirs for what ails you brings me, for lack of a better word, joy.

So when Bridgestone says its Mindset golf ball-marking system can help you shave three to five strokes off your game, I get kind of excited. Not in a weird way or anything. I just really enjoy digging into this stuff to find out whether it’s bullshit or not.

Imagine my combination of glee and disappointment to find that there might actually be something to this Bridgestone Mindset business.

The important part starts with understanding what this combination of arrows, circles and a dot is and then learning how to use it.

While just about everyone’s eyes were locked on Rory during Masters Sunday, I kept drifting back to Justin Rose and that quirky rehearsal he sneaks in before every shot. From a distance, he looks like a 20‑handicapper fresh off a lesson. The club is dropped way behind him, his body barely moving. Yet Rose, now 44, nearly slipped on a green jacket. He’s done this move for years so maybe it deserves a closer look. If you’ve wondered what on earth he’s doing and whether it could help you, read on.

What’s Rose actually doing?

Rose has built a rehearsal move into his pre-shot routine that helps him feel the club drop into place. He pauses at the top of the backswing and then lets the club fall well behind him while his chest and hips stay almost frozen.

We’ve heard this described as a “feel versus real” drill. Rose doesn’t want an extreme path or movement when he strikes the ball. He exaggerates the drop move so the club is on a neutral path when he adds normal speed.

“I don’t want the club to be here in delivery—that’s way too far behind me,” he says. “But as soon as I bring rotation to the target into play, this feel turns into that impact delivery … It’s a little like the water skier: I’m the boat and the club is the skier.”

How does this help his game?

This move can help in a few ways. He’s likely kept it around this long because it’s simple for him but it impacts several key components of his swing.

As Adam Fine sat on a Vancouver hospital bed in the spring of 2018, he was distracted.

Bundled alongside the typical emotions of gratitude and relief in his post-surgery haze was an inescapable pull—the need to hit the golf course.

Fine had just undergone a lifesaving liver transplant, one of the most invasive operations modern medicine has to offer. However, despite the foot-and-a-half stretch of stitches in his right side and a new lease on life, all the Canadian could think about was teeing it up as quickly as possible.

Soon after being discharged, Fine leveraged this bubbling passion for the game to craft a new career in the world of YouTube golf. Through humble beginnings, his “Not A Scratch Golfer” channel would grow to reach more than 65,000 subscribers and hundreds of thousands of views, all through a unique mix of relatable yet educational self-effacement. 

Most interestingly, Fine accomplished it all primarily because of what he was not. He did not dazzle audiences with a picture-perfect swing nor did he inspire envy by firing impressively low numbers.

Being a new golfer is overwhelming. You’re trying to figure out how to grip the club, swing without falling over, stay quiet while your friend tees off and so much more. On top of that, you’re being sold something every step of the way. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up with a garage full of golf accessories you never use.

It’s a lot like new parents. First-timers show up with every gadget on the market while the veterans carry one extra diaper in their back pocket and call it good. Golf works the same way. It tries to convince beginners they need way more than they do.

If you’re just getting into the game, here are the only four accessories you really need.

A golf towel

If you’re on the course without a towel, you’re not prepared.

Dirty clubs lead to bad contact. Wet grips lead to clubs slipping in your hands. Mud on your golf ball affects the ball flight and the roll on the green. A towel solves all of it.

Spending more time practicing isn’t enough. If you’re not paying attention to how you practice, you might just be getting better … at doing it wrong. Most golfers go to the range hoping to improve but often walk away after reinforcing the same mistakes that hold them back. Knowing how to practice lets you monitor feedback, simulate pressure and on-course conditions and ensures you aren’t wasting your time. Here are eight golf practice mistakes better players never make.

Practicing only before a round

One could argue that practice before a round isn’t practice, it’s a warmup. Better players block out range time during the week and sometimes even after a round, never before it.

Post-round sessions are where these better players address what went wrong and fine-tune their swing or short game with less pressure and more focus.

Skipping setup and alignment checks

I know you are tired of hearing this one but I still see the majority of mid- to high-handicappers practicing without alignment sticks (or clubs) on the ground to create a practice session.

Practicing with poor alignment trains poor aim and forces compensation in the swing.
