In a move that fuses the precision of 3D printing with the precision-driven sport of Golf, PGA TOUR superstar Rickie Fowler is helping to showcase golf equipment innovation by debuting his new, 3D printed RF Cobra lob wedge at The American Express 2024 golf tournament. While 3D printing has found application in sports, its utilization in golf, particularly with Fowler’s wedge, offers unprecedented accuracy and customization to the game.
The club’s manufacturer, Cobra Golf, has been a trailblazer in the realm of 3D printed golf clubs since its partnership with Hewlett Packard (HP) and Parmatech in 2018. Having established itself at the forefront of this innovation, the company continues to lead as the primary manufacturer of 3D printed clubs, including the latest addition designed for Rickie Fowler.

Crafting Fowler’s 3D Printed Custom Golf Wedge
Straying from conventional methods of casting, forging, or milling typically used in crafting golf clubs, Fowler’s new wedge is exclusively produced through 3D printing technology. Unlike its initial collection of 3D printed putters, which employed HP’s Multi Jet Fusion printing, Fowler’s latest club is produced from HP’s MetalJet 3D printing technology.
