Artificial Intelligence helps to improve golf equipment design?

Cobra Golf®, a pioneer in golf club innovation, has introduced its third generation T-RAIL hybrid-iron combination set. The latest COBRA product to launch H.O.T Face Technology, which produces next level ball speed and distance, is the next generation of T-RAIL.

The new version retains the hollow, hybrid-iron shape as well as the unique Hollow Baffler Split Rail Technology, providing golfers with an amazing mix of high launch, extended distance, and tremendous forgiveness.

Designed for players wishing to improve their game quickly, the T-RAIL combines the some of the greatest features of a hybrid and an iron into one remarkably easy-to-hit club, allowing players to enjoy better golf without changing their swing. The hollow, hybrid-like form is combined with a flatter, iron-like face to create the optimum mix of high launch, distance, and forgiveness without losing accuracy. The entire set has a hollow, broad sole construction that aids in getting the ball airborne on all strokes into the green.

H.O.T Face Technology, an Artificial Intelligence design, is the most recent addition to the T-RAIL product range. The new face insert has an AI-designed variable face thickness pattern with different thickness zones that have been adjusted to boost the Sweet Zone by 30%.

As a result, the ball travels faster over the whole face, resulting in less distance loss on off-center shots. Additionally, larger internal rib structures were utilized to considerably increase both sound and sensation upon impact.

The successful Hollow Baffler Split Rail Technology is carried over into each T-RAIL hybrid and hybrid-iron. The combination of the Baffler Rails and the broad sole design allows the club to glide smoothly over any grass condition, allowing players to launch the ball higher and straighter more consistently. The front half of the rails is completely hollow, allowing for up to 70% more flex on the sole just behind the face, increasing launch and distance even more.

T-RAIL is designed as a combination set with a 4-hybrid in lieu of a 4 hybrid-iron (a 5-hybrid substitutes the 5 hybrid-iron in the women’s set) to provide the most forgiving set configuration. The T-RAIL hybrid features a lower and deeper centre of gravity than a hybrid-iron, resulting in greater launch and longer distance, offering it a more forgiving alternative to a long iron.

The T-RAIL 4-hybrid not only makes longer approach shots simpler and more consistent, but it also increases gapping between the longer clubs in the set to reduce distance overlap.

The T-RAIL hybrid-iron combination set is available in both men’s and women’s set configurations.
