We will have a lot more coming up on this, but today Cobra Golf is introducing the third generation of T-RAIL hybrid irons. The new version continues to utilize a hollow, hybrid-iron shape with innovative Hollow Baffler Split Rail Technology, aimed at giving players a combination of high launch and plenty of forgiveness.

T-RAIL continues to feature a hollow, hybrid design but brings in a flatter, iron like face. The wide sole is in place to help golfers from most lies, with ease of launch. The latest brought to the table from Cobra with the T-RAIL is something they call H.O.T Face Technology. Despite its cliche like name, there is a lot that goes into it.
H.O.T Face Technology is an Artificial Intelligence Designed face insert that utilizes a unique variable face thickness pattern. Designed to give you not only better speed when you miss the sweet spot, but also in place to create more consistent distance for all shots. The result has also expanded the “Sweet Zone” by 30% over the previous version.

The one area that some THPers were pretty vocal about with the last T-RAIL lineup was the sound and Cobra has addressed that as well. Thicker internal rib structures were implemented that should offer a more full and dense sound creating a very pleasant feel.
Each of the clubs in the set, bring with it their Hollow Baffler Split Rail Technology. The Baffler Rails, paired with the wide sole design allow the club to glide effortlessly through the turf. This allows for more speed retention for those that might struggle with entering the ground a bit earlier than the ball. The front portion of each rail are fully hollow, which creates up to 70% more flex on the sole right behind the face, which should allow easier retention and creation of speed.

The set is done as a 7 piece combo set starting with a 4 hybrid and then going 5-PW in the hybrid irons. It is available for both RH and LH golfers and comes with a price tag of $999. Eash set comes standard with the Cobra Ultralite 50g graphite shaft in R or S as well as a lighter weight Lite flex. A heavier option in steel is available through the Cobra Custom shop.
Both Men’s and Women’s options will be available beginning on November 4th of this year. For more information, check out their website at www.cobragolf.com.
I tried the stock shaft when I was fit for the T-Rails in 2020. They felt too light and they launched the ball way too high. I ended up in Recoil 460 ESX shafts.
I’ll be interested to hear your observations.
I kinda skipped the gen 2 T-Rail as to my eye it never looked much different than the first gen one. Not that gen 3 is all that dissimilar either but willing to see how it hits.
I’d be interested in your observations. I’m going to definitely take a look at the new T-Rails over the winter.
Cobra offers custom shafts if your order the irons 4-pw. If you select the hybrid/irons (4h, 5-pw) set they do not.
Sorry don’t think my last post was clear. On the cobra website they offer upgraded shafts if you order just the iron set on these. Not sure about at retailers.
They do offer the upgraded shafts on just they hybrid also. I assume a retailer could order custom shafts on the 4hybrid, 5-pw set.
If your looking for improvement in iron play, these could be the ticket. Easy to launch and very forgiving. As I have detailed, I have had issues with them launching too high. It may be the club, thw shaft or a combination thereof. My advice is to try different shafts if possible.
Nice selection. Good luck with the decision.

Thanks JB!! good stuff. I like how they used more of a satin nickel finish on the top line instead of the chrome. Should help with glare for sure.
In your one pic it looked like this iteration had more offset than I remember seeing in the Gen 1 and 2’s, but I checked and the offset has been consistent throughout this line so it must just be how the camera is situated.
Still not a fan of the red lipstick as red is just not my bag. Would like to see a gray that would have been nice and subtle, but for sure will still try this one. I haven’t seen it in the wild yet but plan to stop by my local store tomorrow to check on it. Sometimes here in OH we don’t get fall/winter releases until spring demo wise.

I like the look of the head.
C9 or so ?
Thought the same thing when I saw JB’s pics of the 7i. I think i’d have preferred a matte finish in the back.
Website has it at C8
I’d be interested in that as well. I still think the T-rails are the best looking of the three.
and throw in Sub 70s 799’s to round out the field
