Cobra had a real hit with the original Snakebit wedges introduced two years ago and at the time was congratulated for a great name in a club category not known for original monikers. The latest models for 2023 grooves have been redesigned to give even more spin and the CNC milling is 11% deeper with 40% sharper edges.
Additionally, the big news for this year is the addition to the lineup of regular and One Length models of the Snakebite-X specifically designed for those needing help with their wedge play. It has a hollow cavity back with a TPU insert and Cobra says it addition to improved feel the forgiveness has been ratcheted up a notch. Also, for hitting shots from a variety of lies from most any turf condition the sole grind is a practical teardrop shape.
