Well technically it’s not actually Rickie’s driver. Begun the Rickie Fowler era has…maybe.Īll of this is of course just a hopefully clever segue into our review of Rickie’s driver (and an excuse for me to use the word “cumquat”).
Point is, if the last couple of weeks are any indication, orange is the new red, and while the networks and the golf media as a whole might lament such things (they’ve become so spoiled by the Tiger era they’ve forgotten how to write about most anything else), Rickie with his orange pants and monoline cap have the best chance to attract young golfers and grow the game. Now sure, Rickie didn’t actually win “The Players Championship”, but T2 isn’t bad (especially coming off the heels of his first Tour victory), and one could make a rational and believable argument that if not for one pushed putt and a horrific lie at the edge of a bunker, we’d have seen Rickie, orange and all, in a playoff. Granted Rickie’s star on the course hasn’t always been as bright as his Sunday best (I’ve always wondered if he spent his cut-missed Sundays lounging on his couch dressed like a cumquat), but his talent has never been in question, and over the last couple of weeks, Rickie (and his whimsical mustache) have been nothing short of the hottest thing in golf.
We’ve associated Cobra-PUMA with the color orange ever since Rickie Fowler’s Sunday digs replaced Tiger’s Sunday red as the most talked about apparel topic on tour. Orange who? Knock Knock!…ah hell, I think we can all see where this is going. (Written By: T) Knock Knock! Who’s there you say? Orange. What we found suggests that tales of a weak stock shaft are greatly exaggerated, and that there’s much more to the Cobra AMP than orange grips and a shiny silver crown.” – GolfSpy T Admittedly none of our testers were actually willing to grow a mustache or wear orange pants (for the record, I’d wear them in a heartbeat), but we did put Cobra’s (and Rickie’s) driver to the test.
