My grandfather only used Cobra clubs. He lived on a golf course and always demo’d clubs, but had a ton of Cobras. Before he passed, he gave me his Cobra FW woods. My grandmother sold his other clubs. I remember him distinctly using the Rusty because he would spend hours around the green showing me how to chip. It drove me crazy. Now I have all my own Cobra s2 series and it would be nice to finish it off with a good ol’ Trusty Rusty.

woo all Cobra bag baby! well….minus the putter lol. It is a black and yellow ping though!

Cal

I have a 59 in my bag right now. Got it out of the bargain bin at a play it again sports for $10 last year. Still has a ton of good shots left in it – but I’m definitely picking up a new one when they come out!

Paul

Have played cobra drivers for years and performed well. Maybe the trusty will get me to scratch.

Tyler

I’ve tried the rest, now it’s time to try the best.

Michael

Now that Cobra has joined forces with Puma, I have both of my favorite brands in one place. I always thought both were a little underrated in the golf industry. So hopefully that will change soon once these wedges take over the world!!!!

Nothing looks more aggressive than a rusted wedge. It oozes confidence.

Freeze

I want one there is just something cool about having something that looks mean especially when it starts to rust and put that extra bite on the ball due to the surface area
Props MGS and Cobra for putting this contest together

Kristinn

It look sooooo goooood!

Classic never goes out of style! Great to see Cobra re-releasing one of the best evers.

Joe

The trusty Rusty is just that a wedge that takes the fear away. I love this wedge!

NGage

Wow….so glad to see these re-issued. I still have my original Trusty Rusty gap wedge. These wedges are deadly accurate, and I just love the way the tri-sole sets up. After getting my original Trusty Rusty gap wedge, I tried and tried to find one of the 57* ones……but never could. Would loved to have one of the new ones.

Victor

13 years ago

Never played the original…but my wedge game could sure use something “trusty.”

Ari

13 years ago

I remember first seeing a Trusty and being immediately obsessed. Call it love at first sight or whatever you like, I simply wasn’t satisfied until I had one.
It just worked, and being a young player without a lot of things to compare it against, you can forgive me for eventually passing it on or trading it in for something newer.
Could this wedge possibly live up to my memory of it? Years of pining for something that I once held in my hands – the unavailable savior of ever chili-dip, double dip and scull that I have ever had since I let mine go.
Prove me right Cobra. I’ve tried the rest, I want the RUST.

Jim Gallagher

I love it that Conra is bringing back a wedge that I trusted through my college golf years. A classic and I cant wait to have the new version.

Nicky T

13 years ago

I just want 1

Dave

Oldie but Goodie!!! Can’t wait to get one. Hopefully not as rusty as my game!

I really like the look, i would love to give it a spin.

John Carroz

Sounds like a club with a soft feel and character all its own. What’s not to like.

Richie Burke

13 years ago

Had 1 many years ago somewhere in my garage it is still around. But would love to get a new one. Looks great & if it preforms half as good as the old one it will be a hit.

clam fist

I would love this wedge. My Dad had one in his bag and always said it was his favorite club.

Richard Galbreath

Very versatile anywhere your ball may lie.

Gerry Kiper

Can’t wait to try the new Trusty Rusty. Loved the original!!

Jeremy Heslop

13 years ago

Anything that is rusty I love. My wedges have started to get that nice rust color and I love it. Would love to try out the new cobra wedge.

James Luterek

13 years ago

Cobra consistently makes the best clubs and I’m sure this is no exception!

jim Sims

I have heard about these wedges for years. I would like to try one. Mayabe it will get the rust off my wedge game!!

jim Sims

I have heard about these wedges for years. I would like to try one. Maybe it will get the rust out of my wedge play!!

I am a 14 year old kid and the old trusty rusty wedges are my finest clubs in my bags. Passed down from dad, I love the way the wedge improves as you use it, unlike other wedges.

Mike Honcho

13 years ago

My old Trusty Rusty bailed me outta more sand back in my high school playing days than David Hasselhoff has run across, re-runs included.

Mitch Toews

13 years ago

Tri-bounce grind gives you soul, man. (And by that I mean versatility.)

Bill

13 years ago

One of the most versatile wedge ever created. Grind were way ahead of time. This wedge looks like it will be the continuation of great short game weapons

Foster

13 years ago

This has a classic look and should be my go to club inside 100 yards!

buzz

13 years ago

nice looking wedge–would make a well needed replacement for my well worn ones

John Marsh

The Trusty Rusty 61 is the perfect complement to my In Sync Copper 56
I play the older shorter courses in the NorthEast, once off the fringe of the greens the grass
is long & gnarly to offset the new bombers
The Trusty Rusty 61 has given me the added loft to escape this punishment along with the
soft touch when I short side myself
Thank you Cobra for keeping me a single digit handicap as I have turned 60

Daniel

13 years ago

For a soft feel and maximum spin around the greens, the Trusty Rusty was long a standard. An updated look with updated technology will introduce a new generation of golfers to an old classic. Looks great!

Putterslut

13 years ago

I would put this club in my bag because new technology has not created anything better than the Trusty Rusty wedge.

Jonathan

13 years ago

I loved these wedges back in the day! I am thrilled to see the company bring them back.

Travis Olsen

13 years ago

The re-released Trusty Rusty wedge is one of the best looking wedges to come out in a long time. Combine great looks and Cobra’s awesome technology and this will be in my bag for a long time.

btw… I love the look of the new Trusty Rusty..!!

Steve

Just the name of “Trusty Rusty” speaks volumes to Cobra Wedge fans both old and young. The new updated version promises to “mature” to a nice patina of oxidation, enhancing both spin and looks, but I love most the Tri-Bounce feature that will make it a snap to open or close the face to hit a variety of creative shots! An instant modern classic that will have one confidently seeking pins and even hole outs! I carry too many wedges as it is now, and I can chuck at least 3 with addition of a Trusty Rusty!

Steve

13 years ago

Used toi have an old 57 until someone else decided they wanted it and took it right out of my bag at the course

Steve

13 years ago

Love the unique sole and Trusty Rusty heritage!

John Moyer

13 years ago

Back in 1999 I triedout my buddies 56 degree Trusty Rusty. I had a sand and lob in my bag that same week. I still play mine cause the bounce and grind of the sole are PERFECT for any lie. I have not found a sole like these anywhere else…… Also it’s great to yell (Trusty Rusty) after a chip in!

Caesar Alzate

13 years ago

I carry 4 wedges (60,56,54 & 52 degrees). The design of the “Trusty Rusty Wedge” is equivalent to my 60, 54 & 52 degree wedges. “Trusty Rusty Wedge” could be played on a sand box as well as hard pan condition. “Trusty Rusty Wedge” will definitely improve my concentration and game management. I’ve been looking for a wedge of this design for a very long time.

Beau Bedell

13 years ago

I love the classic look and variety of lofts!

Larry

13 years ago

I’ve waited several years now to have Cobra Golf complete their excellent line of golf products…it’s called trusty for a reason..

Bruce

13 years ago

Played the original 53 and 59 degree wedges years ago and always felt they had one of the most functional/playable sole designs.

Kevin

13 years ago

I owned a trusty rusty 10 years ago, two actually, a 52 and 57. They were awesome. I left the 52 beside a green and never saw it again. These look great new and when they rust they look even better. I can’t wait to play one again.

Josh

13 years ago

I love the idea of this wedge getting better with age, like a fine wine.

Tim

13 years ago

Well never tried it so I can’t say how it performs, but looking at the grind it seems this wedge design was a little ahead of the curve as i see many other OEM’s copying this grind!

Tim

13 years ago

I’m also curious about the softer chrome finish or lack there of. Always like a soft feel whether it be the ball and or the club! can’t wait to try The Trusty Rusty!

Patrick

best wedge ever. period . cobra is the only golf company that has improved on its entire line over the last 3-5 years without charging you an arm and a leg and ive been waiting for them to bring back the rusty forever . now i dont have to spend a fortune on ol bobs wedges

Steve Sales

13 years ago

I have very fond memories about the first itteration of these wedges. I really like the look of the sole grind on these new ones and would love to give one a try.

Tim G

13 years ago

If you want to strike the pin like a cobra get a Trusty Rusty !

Dan K

13 years ago

Love the retro look. Brings back memories of my dad’s wedge when he used to teach me golf. Would love to use them in memory of my dad.

kyle Russo

13 years ago

I love the wedge. It feels great, looks great, and had my firsy hole in one with it! What more do you want.

Nic

13 years ago

I love the no-nonsense look. No gimmicy bells and whistles, this wedge looks like it means business! Love the sharp angles.
There’s something about pulling out a nice and worn (possibly rusted) wedge out of the bag to strike fear into your playing partners like that wedge has taken you to hell and back

littlepingman

13 years ago

The original Trusty Rusty wedges were probably my favorite all time wedges. Its great to see that not much has changed on the new version. Keep up the good work, Cobra!!

Bryce

13 years ago

just like my wife when we first meet sexy and slick at the beginning but will rust to a perfect color and feel the older it gets. Now that takes me back to the god old days.

Chris

13 years ago

Wow! What’s not to love about this club? From the amazingly unique tri-bounce sole grind, to the beautiful black steel shaft, to the killer 3Gen grip…this wedge is fierce! Look out pin, I’m coming for you!

Golfer Burnz

Trusty Rusty, easy on the eyes, soft on the greens. Best wedge this side of shiney.

Ottawa Golf Blog

Simple short game weapon with rusting capabilities.

Damon

13 years ago

The sole looks innovative and like it will allow many different shots to be played depending on the lie. It just oozes confidence.

adam berger

13 years ago

The design of the sole looks amazing, and a 61deg? Fantastic! Would truly be honored to try one.

davedep

I love all of my Cobra Irons and this will be a welcome addition.

John Rogers

13 years ago

Ah the old “Trusty Rusty” I remember it well. A forged wedge by Phil Rodgers that was tried in the raw form during design. Players liked it so much it went into production. I know cause I was the Wood Maker at Cobra at the time. Ah yes, the good old days when you had to play the game, fond memories. :O)

Golfer Burnz

13 years ago

That’s pretty cool !

Jack

I loved the original version of this wedge, and I can’t wait until the new ones are released.

Klaus R. Sandvik

13 years ago

I just switched my irons to Cobra, and now I just have to get the cool new wedges to go with it! Just love the “Trusty Rusty” name on it!

Dave

13 years ago

I love the combo of the eventual rust color and the different finish of the face. The grip.shaft combo is pretty mean as well.

stevenhw8

13 years ago

My dad bought his first set of golf clubs (without knowing how to use them), by chance he found a set of Cobra SS irons and a Trusty Rusty Wedge was included in the package. It was my first time grabbing a golf club so I just took the best looking one, the Trusty Rusty.

As a beginner, the shots weren’t that pretty, but is sure was an experience worthy to remember!

brady Lybbert

13 years ago

i love the look and how original of a wedge design this has also nothing wrong in going back to retro design it looks amazing and if it plays like the old ones it will have amazing bite and playability

brady Lybbert

man i love cobra golf and cant wait til these sweet wedges are available

Jordy

Cobra is highly underrated as a producer of high-performance clubs.

Jay

It’s simply a great feeling, and great looking club.

Dustin

I love the sole on the wedge. Very classy!

jordan

most people doesn’t like rust on their clubs, but lets see what they think after this!!!

Scott

13 years ago

I have hit an original trusty rusty and I swear it has a softer, better feel than the Adams watsons I use now. These clubs were great in their day and I’m sure the conforming grooves will be perfect for my game.

nicsherman

13 years ago

I love it that Cobra is re releasing the Trusty Rusty.. Awesome Wedge!! I miss my old 53* from back in the day…

Golfspy Dave

13 years ago

I like the concept of rusting making it better. Sort of stealthy that way.

Logan Adams

13 years ago

I used to own one of these back in high school golf a while back. What a soft feeling wedge!! Great feel, and control and top notch spin. I’m so excited they are coming back.

Brian Pudney

13 years ago

This is an excellent contest… my father just retired his old trusty rusty, and I think it might have ended up in my brothers bag, I need to look… I still remember him teaching me how to golf with his trusty rusty, and I always thought it was a junk club because of the rust… I totally forgot about that until just now…

Bradley Weiss

13 years ago

I used to have a 53 and 59 as a kid and they were the best wedges i have ever had I would love to put a new one in my bag with the conforming groves,
