The Curated Take
4.6/5
The Cobra Supernova putter is ideal for golfers with a straight or arced putting stroke. Leveraging 3D printing and SIK face technology, it provides consistent 1.5-degree launch angles for varied attack types. Tungsten weighting offers forgiveness on off-center hits. Its design aids in alignment, reducing mishits. The pre-installed Golf Pride grip suits most, though alternatives exist. Its 3D construction delivers unparalleled softness and stability compared to milled putters. With optimal weight distribution, it's well-balanced, increasing precision in every putt.

Expert Reviews of the Cobra King 3D Printed Supernova Black Putters
Tyler Brumback This putter is great for the golfer with a straight back and forward putting stroke. The grip is oversized and comes with the Arccos sensor already in the putter. This putter is extremely well-balanced and weighted perfectly. Contact off the face is soft yet provides the perfect roll with Cobra's SIK Face Technology that incorporates a multi-angle face that helps prevent mishit puts. The open fang design gives golfers a great view of the center mark and makes it extremely easy to line up their put.
Anthony Pragano The Supernova putter is a super stable 3D printed putter that uses the SIK Face Technology and has a descending loft setup down the putter face from 4, 3, 2, 1. What this does is help to ensure the putter will work for any player regardless of if they are neutral, negative, or positive attack angles, making sure the putter launches at the same 1.5-degree angle. Since it is 3D printed, Cobra put the weight where needed to make the putter feel extremely stable. This line of putters is incredible and will change the putting game for any player who picks one up.
Danny Molineaux The Cobra Supernova is a putter packed with technology, including tungsten weighting, to make it forgiving on off-center strikes. I first tested the putter's speed with some lag putts from 25-40ft and deliberately hit putts out of the toe and heel. I was extremely impressed that my speed of putts still remained very similar to putts out of the middle of the face. The SIK putter face is incredible as it has different lofts across the face to make the ball roll more consistent, regardless of whether my angle of attack is neutral, ascending, or descending. The putter is offered with three different hosels. I tested and bought the Supernova as I have a more straight back and forward putter swing, but for those with a slight arc, try the Supernova 20. Those with a stronger arc should try the Supernova 30, which has different hosels to suit those swings. I loved the alignment aid on the putter and found it very easy to line up my short putts, and I really liked the feel of the putter face. I could feel it when I didn't make perfect contact with the ball, which was nice feedback. Hard to find a putter that is more forgiving than the Supernova. Highly recommend it.

Review Ratings
Forgiveness
5/5
Anthony Pragano gave 5 of 5 stars. With the supernova sporting the descending loft face from SIK, this putter offers more forgiveness for players as it gets the ball rolling and keeps the loft working in a player with any descent angle stroke. This putter helps to eliminate as much bouncing and skidding as possible.
Alignment
5/5
Anthony Pragano gave 5 of 5 stars. This putter sits extremely squared when put to rest on a green. The alignment aid is very nice and helps players with the fang-style shape of the putter. The Cobra King is a good putter option to help golfers struggling with alignment.
Grip
4/5
Anthony Pragano gave 4 of 5 stars. The stock Cobra custom logo SuperStroke is the middle-of-the-road size pre-installed at no additional charge. Some players may not like that and spring for the upcharge and get a size and shape they prefer more. At the moment, Cobra does not have all the SuperStroke options available, so if someone doesn’t see the one they like, it is easier to get it after the fact.
Feel
5/5
Anthony Pragano gave 5 of 5 stars. The 3D-printed cartridge allowed Cobra to discretionarily weight the putter where it needed to be, helping to increase the feel and weight in the player's hands. This putter face, even though it's at a lower price point, also feels better and softer, in my opinion, than any premium milled putter on the market.
Balance
4/5
Anthony Pragano gave 4 of 5 stars. The putter is weighted exactly where it needs to be. The non-moveable tungsten weights are placed where they need to be to ensure the putter is stable. I had messed around with lead tape on mine to see if it needed it, but the putter worked very well without the additional weight.
FAQs
What was your favorite moment with this gear?
Anthony Pragano My favorite moment with this putter was pre-release testing. I got to see and feel a newer shape that Cobra had made. And advancing their use of 3D printing material was amazing. The putter is weighted perfectly, and the feel is super stable. It didn’t hurt that I couldn’t miss with the putter.
What is the value for the money versus other options?
Anthony Pragano The value for the money on this putter is extremely worth it. The fact that Cobra has 3D printed most of the putter head to make it stable and weighted where needed is incredible—not to mention the use of the SIK putter face with descending loft. This putter rolls beautifully and launches for a player with any putter attack angle, whether steep, shallow, or neutral. The black finish makes this putter look as great as it feels.
What do you love about this product?
Anthony Pragano In a sunny state like Florida, where I play mostly, the putter gives me a premium black finish that looks shiny but provides no glare when on the course. It gives me the SIK face defending loft, helping me better use my speed and roll to make more putts. And now Cobra offers custom grip length and lie options. It's cheaper than buying a putter from SIK.
