Cobra 3D Printed Supernova Putter

High MOI Putter

The 3D Printed Supernova revives one of Cobra's oldest putter names and hands it to a manufacturing process that didn't exist when the original Supernova came out. Cobra prints the internal structure as a nylon lattice rather than machining or casting a solid block, which frees up weight that gets pushed to the corners of the head. That's the whole point of a high MOI mallet, and this one leans into it hard.

What you get is a putter that resists twisting when you miss the sweet spot. Catch one off the toe or heel and the face stays squarer through impact than a blade ever would, so the ball still rolls close to your intended line and speed. It's face balanced, so it wants to travel straight back and straight through with very little arc. If your stroke already moves that way, the two traits stack up in your favor.

This is not a putter for someone chasing feel and workability. It's built to take the worst version of your stroke and make it look less bad. For a lot of amateurs, that trade is exactly right.

Design

The printed lattice inside the head is the difference maker. Instead of solid metal, Cobra uses a 3D printed nylon structure that weighs almost nothing, which lets the designers move real mass out to the perimeter and back of the mallet. That perimeter weighting is what drives the high MOI number and keeps the face from rotating on mishits. Up top there's a clear alignment aid to help you square the face and start the ball online, which matters more on a mallet this size where the head can look busy at address. The face balanced setup means when you balance the shaft on your finger the face points at the sky, a sign the head resists opening and closing through the stroke. Straight-stroke putters tend to get along with it best.

Who It's For

• You miss the center of the face often enough that forgiveness matters more than buttery feedback.
• Your putting stroke moves fairly straight back and through with little arc, which pairs with the face balanced head.
• You want an alignment aid you can actually use to line up putts, not a minimalist blade top line.
• You're curious about 3D printed construction and want the perimeter weighting it makes possible without paying tour-blade prices for feel you won't use.

About Cobra

Cobra's 3D printed putters use additive manufacturing to create complex internal structures impossible with traditional methods, allowing precise weight placement for optimal MOI and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 3D Printed Supernova good for a straight or an arc putting stroke?

It's face balanced, so it's built for a straight-back-straight-through stroke or one with only a slight arc. If you have a strong arc where the face opens and closes a lot, a toe-hang putter will match your release better and this one may feel like it's fighting you.

What does the 3D printed part actually do?

Cobra prints the internal structure as a lightweight nylon lattice instead of using solid metal. That removes weight from the middle of the head so it can be relocated to the perimeter and back. More weight out at the edges means higher MOI, which is why the face resists twisting on off-center hits.

Will it help me on off-center putts?

That's the main reason to buy it. High MOI means the head stays stable when you catch a putt off the toe or heel, so distance and direction hold up better than they would with a blade. You'll still notice a slightly firmer strike, but the ball won't wander as far offline.

How does the alignment aid work at address?

There's a visual alignment feature on top of the head to help you aim the face and set your start line. On a mallet this size that guide is worth using, since the bigger footprint gives you more to line up with than a thin blade does.

Who should skip this putter?

Golfers who prioritize soft feel, feedback, and shot-to-shot workability, and those with a pronounced arc stroke. If you already center the ball consistently and want a putter that talks back to your hands, a milled blade suits you better than a high MOI mallet like this.
