There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried:

COBRA SNAKEBITE Black wedges. I’ve had the COBRA KING MIM wedges in my bag for the last few years. It’s time for an upgrade.

Who Tried It:

Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers.

Better in Black

I’ve never owned a brand-new set of wedges so I’m stepping into new territory for this review of the COBRA SNAKEBITE Black wedges. My first impressions are that the black finish is sleek and sexy. 

The darker finish suits my eye. I love the anti-glare properties and the premium aesthetic. Something about the color of the COBRA SNAKEBITE Black wedges just frames the white golf ball so well. 

The Problem: Most golfers don’t replace their grips often enough. The golf grip is an essential but often underrated part of the golf club and finding the right grip for the right price can be a challenge. 

Add in the cost of having grips installed and replacing grips for all your clubs gets expensive.

The Solution:

Saplize 13-piece golf grips with the essentials to regrip your clubs at home simply and easily. 

Regripping clubs is pretty straightforward and there are many methods to do so. This kit has everything that you need (minus a vice) to do the job done yourself for a fraction of the cost.

Saplize Regripping Kit: How I found it

I know what kind of grips I like and being a tinkerer, I don’t mind trying and regripping my sets fairly frequently. Being curious about how “knockoff” grips would perform, I went right to Amazon and, with a quick search for “golf grips”, these were top of the list with 3,000- plus reviews and 4.5-star rating. I hit the Buy Now button and, a few days later, these were at my doorstep.

The reality is that while cutting spin can be challenging for many of us, there are several approaches that
might work.

Emphasis on might.
