Cobra expands its KING family with the new KING and KING MAX irons. These modern irons combine innovative technologies for higher ball flight, greater distance, improved forgiveness, and a more stable feel. From a lower center of gravity to a flexible face and an optimized sole, the new models make the game easier, support controlled shots, and offer different options to provide maximum performance on the green for every type of player.
Cobra KING Irons: Game Improvement through Advanced Technology
With the new KING and KING MAX irons, Cobra expands its KING family with two models targeted at mid- and high-handicap players. The focus is on technologies designed to make the game easier: higher launch, more distance, improved forgiveness, and an overall more stable feel.
Lower Center of Gravity for Higher Ball Flight
A key feature of the new irons is a 3D-printed medallion from Cobra’s premium 3DP series. Its delicate lattice structure allows weight to be saved and redistributed within the clubhead. This lowers the center of gravity by about two millimeters, directly impacting play: the ball launches higher and lands steeper on the green, improving control and stopping power and making greens easier to hit.
More Speed with Consistent Feel
Cobra also innovates in distance with the 360 SpeedShell face which offers more flex across the entire face for more consistent ball speeds—even on off-center hits. This is supported by an 80-gram catapult weight housed in a vibration-damping polymer. The result is not only more consistent distance but also a solid, pleasant feel with balanced sound.
Improved Turf Interaction with New Sole Design
Another gameplay advantage comes from the redesigned Skid Sole. The pre-rounded leading edge with added bounce and a flatter midsole help the club glide cleaner through turf. This reduces resistance at impact, improves turf interaction, and supports the low center of gravity of the clubhead once again.
Two Models for Different Player Types
The two models differ thoughtfully in shape and specifications. The KING iron targets players with slightly higher swing speeds and handicaps around 10 to 20, seeking maximum speed and forgiveness. The KING MAX iron is larger, offers more offset, weaker lofts, and additional stability on toe and heel hits, making it ideal for players wanting higher launch, draw tendencies, and maximum support.
Market Launch and Price
The new Cobra KING irons will be available in European retail starting February 3. Both models are priced at 999 euros for a 6-iron set with steel or graphite shafts.
