Remember Me?
Remember me…the Cobra Trusty Rusty wedge? I know it’s been a while…over 20 years actually. But back then and still to this day I have somewhat of a cult like following. Golfers still try to find me on eBay or thrift shops around the country. Back in the day I was one of the more popular wedges on tour and at your local country clubs. Well since we rust (we do that on purpose) our numbers in the wild have dwindled and we were close to becoming extinct. But there’s good news!
I’m Backkkk!
Very soon I will be removed from the “endangered golf clubs list” and brought back in to production. MyGolfSpy has confirmed this with multiple sources within my company and I am stoked to have the opportunity to be back in many of your bags. Now the finish and overall look of me might change a little from what you see below (I’m a little dirty)…I actually think I might be available in three different finishes…but the important part is that I’m back and ready for the fairways and bunkers.
Look forward to hearing from some of my old friends!
Yours Truly,

Cannot wait to get one of these.
This is so cool! Nice to see Puma making an effort to go back to Cobra’s roots and raise some awareness. I used to love the cool hosels on the ti drivers back in the day, those things were such a Cobra trademark.
Welcome back Rusty! Kind of different having a converstion with a wedge, but it will be good seeing you around the greens again. So Rusty, does rust really put any extra spin on the ball? Or is it all in the grooves? Just wondering. – Burnz
Well hopefully if MGS gets a chance to review me in the near future they will run a test on me to see the difference between non-rust and rusted face. Sounds like a good piece for a review to me.
For me the rust just adds to the soft feel of the head, and of course the groves do their thing with spin and control.
I use the 53 and 56. Awesome
I am so-o-o-o ready! My eldest daughter confiscated my Rusty’s and I can get them back without a fight. There will be at least two of these purchased as soon as they come out! So long, Vokey!
Count me among the faithful. My Rusty was butchered a long time ago, into an unrecognizable 66* lofted, no bounce frankenclub… i used it for some time on the more stubborn weeds in the yard – unless it was a tight lie. I’d like another chance.
SIMPLE THE BOMB DOT COM !!!!!
Agree it is great that Puma are putting something into this Cobra are just fantastic clubs will definitely be using these
Giggity
lost my 57° (disappeared from the chipping area), traded in my 53° and 61° – what was I thinking !?!
Can’t wait to get me a new set.
Rusty, I promise to never ever sell you again. I have been mourning for the past five years. Can hardly wait until you are back.
You sold me
and thank you MGS for making this one of my happier days in life !
For starters, I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since they’ve been around!!! Where does the time go? I let a friend of mine “borrow” my Rusty’s while I was nursing an injury and apparently he thought borrow meant I was giving them to him for some reason.He went and traded them in for something else,which I found out through a true friend.I was never able to replace them again.I am REALLY looking forward to having another chance at these.I need to get a new set of wedges since I’m playing non confirming wedges and am tired of hearing that I’m playing them even though us amatures are still allowed to play them.Can’t wait… Is there a release date yet???
Don’t have any official release date yet…but I will look into this for you.
I’m not going to dump my Scratch 1018 forged wedges for these but kudos to Puma/Cobra on a great idea to bring these back.
Assuming that’s a cast head?
Is the rust just an aesthetic thing, or does it actualy aid performance (spin, grip, control, whatever?). Also, will the club continue to rust-and eventuially die quicker? I’d saee the grooves filling with rust!
I’ve never really got these rust finish clubs. I prefer nice satin finish or something sexier. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say, I know some guys love this. But not for me.
Is this cast or forged?
Hit’em yesterday, WOW, SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got a 59 degree black PVD the other day, really like it so far, never had the chance to use one before. Will most likely add a 55 shortly.
Got two TR, 55/61, and I think they are better than the orginal. Surprised first time I used the 61 deg. how easy it was to control. The black shaft adds to the mean, rusty look. Even the stock Lamkin grip is acceptable. Balance of club can be felt though out the swing. Good job PUMA/Cobra Golf.
