“Chrome-plated tour version of the Trusty line for players who want durability over rust. Steel-dominant players' wedge; identity club.”
Cobra's answer to Vokey-class wedge dominance, developed with direct input from tour staff Rickie Fowler, Ian Poulter, and Jonas Blixt. A Fowler-stamped Limited Edition run of just 1,600 units sold worldwide on June 1, 2013, ahead of the full retail line arriving that October at $119.99. Cast (not forged) from 8620 carbon steel, it leaned on Cobra's Tour Notch K-Grind sole, which keeps the leading edge low to the turf across a wide range of face angles, plus grooves milled 15% larger than the prior Trusty Rusty with two different score-line depths for extra bite. Available in Tour Matte Satin or Black PVD finish with a stock Dynamic Gold S200 shaft, it aimed at tour-level short-game feel rather than volume sales.
Real tour pedigree (Fowler/Poulter/Blixt co-design, PGA Tour equipment-report coverage, a deliberately scarce 1,600-unit Limited Edition) gives it more standing than a typical also-ran wedge, but it never built the enduring forum-hunt following of a true cult wedge -- it was superseded in Cobra's own lineup and today trades as an ordinary used wedge, not a sought-after one.
Better players and low-to-mid handicaps who already control strike location and want Vokey-level shotmaking versatility at a lower price point. A high-handicapper hunting a forgiving, bounce-heavy chipping crutch should look at a game-improvement wedge instead -- this one rewards skill rather than compensating for its absence.
Contemporaneous coverage (PGA Tour equipment report, Today's Golfer, GolfWRX) firmly dates the launch to 2013 -- Limited Edition June 1, full line October 1. It followed Cobra's 2011 Trusty Rusty and competed directly against Titleist Vokey SM4/SM5, Cleveland CG15, and Callaway's mid-2010s wedge lineup.
A tour-style cast wedge built for spin and turf-interaction control, not forgiveness -- the Tour Notch K-Grind helps versatility across face angles and lies, but the compact head and minimal offset mean off-center strikes cost spin and distance the same as any Vokey-class wedge. The score reflects the wedge category's normal ceiling, not a flaw specific to this model.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Clean used examples run roughly $50-$90 on eBay/Golfbidder in 2026 against an original $119.99 retail -- a normal used-wedge depreciation curve, not scarcity pricing, despite the Limited Edition's small run (which rarely surfaces separately priced on the secondary market). Worn grooves and finish loss (the Tour Matte Satin shows wear faster than Black PVD) are the main value drags.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
