As anyone who gambles on the course knows, it pays to feel like you have an edge over your opponents – often literally! And for Subpar co-host Drew Stoltzhis advantage is determined by the equipment he carries in his bag.
In the last episode of Emergency 9, presented by CobraStoltz explained the details of his favorite gambling game, Scotch. It is a six point game played with two teams of two players each. Two points are awarded for the lowest ball in the hole, two points for the lowest total between two players, one point for birdie and one point for closest to the pin. If a team manages to win all six points, the total is doubled.
“This is where it gets fluid and you can lose a lot of money,” Stoltz said.

The reason Stoltz likes this game is because the person closest to the pin, or “KP,” is in the driver’s seat. Not only to get that point, they are also looking at a potential birdie (another point) and also have a good chance of claiming the low ball and low total to clear the points. But there is more.
“Closer to the needle, KP controls everything,” Stoltz said. “Once you win it, you’re untouchable, so you really can’t lose that much on a given hole, which is why I love it.”
So how does Stoltz ensure he has the best possible chance for KP? He credits his Cobra “Flow Set” – Cobra’s 3DP MB handcuffs along with his Cobra Limit3D handcuffs.
“For example, I got a short par-4, maybe a short par-3. I got a short iron, a wedge, a 9 or something. I got my 3D printed MBs, which I like,” Stoltz said. “I can fly it down, hit it up, right, left, whatever I need to do. I have all the confidence in the world in these bad boys from short range.
Cobra 3DP MB Custom Handcuffs
The 3DP MB iron combines the look and feel of a traditional forged back muscle with the forgiveness of a hollow back iron. The most forgiving blade on the market, the MB has wowed Tour players by checking all the boxes and exceeding expectations with its incredible stability and feel. FORGIVING BACK MUSCLE BLADE SHAPE A slightly revised KING MB shape inspired by feedback from PGA Tour player Max Homa, the MB features a thinner topline and improved offset. The 3D printed inner grille and heel, toe and tungsten hose increases the MOI for stability and positions the CG perfectly centered and lower than the KING MB to promote higher launch. EXTREME FORGIVING MEETS SOFT FEEL The 3D printed inner grille structure not only optimizes weight savings, but also provides the stiffness and strength to support the face and fine-tune the acoustics of each iron to produce the most engaging sound and feel at impact. TOLLOFTEN WEIGHT Discretionary weight savings from the 3D printed grid allowed up to 55g of tungsten to be placed down in the heel, toe and shank, resulting in the perfect blend of a compact blade shape with a low CG and high MOI that reflects a game-enhancing iron.

“But then when you go a long par-4, long par-3, 4-iron, 5-iron. I go to these little darlings, my 3DP Limited, which I also had graphite shafts on, which helps,” he continued. “So the 5-iron on the green, I know I can hit it high. I know I can stop it on any green, and at the same time with a short iron I can hit any kind of shot I want out there.”
Stoltz’s best advice?
“As long as I can control KP, I am protected from attacks,” he said. “So if you’re looking to get some cash from your friends, up your iron game, check out a small stream group and you’ll become Blitz consistent too.”
