Review: Cobra SNAKEBITE Wedge

The Cobra SNAKEBITE wedge is built for golfers who demand precision, control, and maximum spin on their short-game shots. Featuring Cobra’s advanced Snakebite groove technology, this wedge enhances spin rates and stopping power, making it a reliable choice for approach shots, chips, and bunker play. I was able to test in 52°, 56°, and 60° lofts, the SNAKEBITE wedge is designed to perform in a variety of conditions, with multiple sole grind options for different playing styles.

Overview

Cobra engineered the SNAKEBITE wedge with precision-milled grooves that are 40% sharper and 11% deeper than previous models, increasing spin and consistency. The full-face groove design on higher-lofted models (56° and 60°) ensures maximum spin on open-faced shots, while the progressive groove shaping optimizes performance across lofts. The wedge is available in multiple grind options, catering to different swing types and turf interactions.
