Three generations, and still going. The railed sole golf club dates back to the first days of Cobra Golf, eventually making its way into their iron designs decades later.
Today the company revealed their third iteration of their T-RAIL hybrid-iron combo set, with features designed to assist the emerging and aspiring golfer.
in the latest design the “Hollow Baffler Split Rail Technology” is coupled with a hollow hybrid-iron head shape to maximize ease of launch, boost overall carry, and still provide some level of performance on off-centre strikes.
In this set you end up with the advantages of hybrid type clubhead, with a low and deep centre of gravity, helping players get the ball in the air faster and with less distance-robbing spin.
The company is really highlighting a new feature of this generation of T-RAIL, a whole new face structure:
“The latest innovation added to the T-RAIL product line is H.O.T Face Technology, an Artificial Intelligence design. The new face insert utilizes a variable face thickness pattern that is designed using AI and features multiple thickness areas that have been optimized to increase the Sweet Zone by 30%. The result is faster ball speed across the entire face to reduce distance loss on off-center hits. Additional improvements include thicker internal rib structures that were used to significantly improve both sound and feel at impact.“
The wide sole and split rails are intended to improve turf interaction, to get more contact with the ball, applying more of the swing energy to it. The front portion of the rails are hollow, which creates even more flex right behind the face, for greater ball speed due to higher energy transfer.
To ensure the most forgiving set configuration, T-RAIL is designed as a combo set that includes a 4-hybrid in place of a 4 hybrid-iron (a 5-hybrid replaces the 5 hybrid-iron in the women’s set). The T-RAIL hybrid has a lower and deeper CG than a hybrid-iron, which results in higher launch, and longer distance, making it a more forgiving alternative to a long iron. In addition to making longer approach shots easier and more consistent, the T-RAIL 4-hybrid also improves gapping between the longer clubs in the set to prevent distance overlap.
The T-RAIL hybrid-iron combo set is available in men’s & women’s set make-ups. The Men’s T-RAIL Graphite 7-piece Combo Set, features a chrome finish with black and red color accents and comes with a 4-hybrid and 5-PW hybrid-irons, in both RH and LH options. Each set is equipped with a COBRA ULTRALITE (50g) graphite shaft in Stiff and Reg or Lite flex (45g) and a COBRA Lamkin Crossline grip. A COBRA ULTRALITE steel shaft is also available through custom only.
The Men’s T-RAIL Combo Set is also available with optional 5- and 6-hybrids as well as GW and SW through custom order (hybrids are not sold as separates). The Women’s T-RAIL Graphite 7-piece Combo Set, features a chrome finish with black and lilac color accents, and comes with a 5-hybrid and 6-PW and SW hybrid irons SW in RH and LH options. Each set comes standard with a COBRA ULTRALITE 45g graphite (Ladies flex) shaft and a COBRA Lamkin Crossline grip. A 6-hybrid and GW are also available through custom order (hybrids are not sold as separates).
Both the Men’s and Women’s T-RAIL sets will be available beginning November 4, 2022.
