Why We Like It

Most traditional irons use a two- or three-step forging process, but these irons use a five-step process that more effectively aligns the grain structure of the metal and reduces the number of voids. This process allows for tighter control of the weight specs and reduces the amount of hand polishing, leading to a more precise clubhead. The grooves are milled into the face so they can be manufactured closer to the USGA limit. A channel behind the hitting area is filled with a thermoplastic urethane to keep the feel just right.

Performance

Look / sound / feel, hot list players feedback.

Ratings are based on players’ assessments in three key performance areas.

Ball Flight

Playability.

I could fade or draw it without the ball spinning too much. Has a lower launch but better takeoff, which made the ball stay in the sky longer.

I love the forgiveness of this club. It has a very smooth feel, launches the ball high quickly and produces a consistent ball flight.

Makes a softer, more muted sound than other cavity-backs in the category. Center strikes come off with energy and produce a penetrating ball flight that travels pretty far.

Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play

Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.

Cobra KING Tour Irons Review

Late in 2020, Cobra released the KING Tour irons with Mim Technology. Last month, they followed that with the launch of the Copper Series , which featured this set in a new finish that is rather unique. We have received numerous requests to test these out in the THP Tech Studio, so here is another episode of TESTED! where you see the swings and then we breakdown the data.

In the video we below we breakdown the look and then hop into the hitting bay and take shots with multiple irons. From there we will show the data from each and go over what stands out.

Lots to unpack in this video, but starting with the same question we asked in the video. Which of the two striking finishes is your favorite? What do you think stands out in this set that would make you want to put them in the bag?

Club junkie review: cobra’s new king tour irons.

The Cobra King Tour irons have been proven on the PGA Tour already and will be in bags of better amateur players this year. The previous King Tour MIM irons were very underrated and offered great precision with a solid shape that many players liked. Cobra went away from the Metal Injection Molded construction and went with a five-step forging process for soft and solid feel.

Make sure to check out the full podcast review at the links below and search GolfWRX Radio on every podcast platform.

I was a big fan of the previous Tour MIM irons and played them in rotation throughout the last two years. Out of the box, I was impressed with the more simple and clean look of the badging on the new King Tour. Badging is mostly silver with just small black accents that should appeal to even the pickiest golfers. I didn’t notice the shorter blade length in the new irons but did notice that the leading edge is just slightly more rounded. Topline is thin, but not razor thin, but still has enough there to give you the confidence that you don’t have to hit it on the dead center every shot.

Feel is solid and soft with just a slight click to the thud on well struck shots while mishits are met with a little more sound and vibration to the hands.

These King Tour irons are built to be cannons and place more emphasis on consistent and precise shots. I also felt like the new irons launch easily and maybe a touch higher than some irons in the same category.

My launch monitor showed my 7 iron with an average launch angle of 22 degrees and spin right around 5,800 with a Project X LZ 6.0 stock shaft. Ball speed isn’t the ultimate focus of this iron but it did well with an average around 108mph and the iron was able to keep the speed up well when you didn’t strike the center. You will still see a drop off in speed and distance when you miss the center, but you don’t have to be Navy SEAL sniper accurate on the face to achieve a good shot. Dispersion was very tight, and while there are bigger irons with more forgiveness, this players cavity still allows good playability when you aren’t bringing your A-plus game to the course.

Cobra lists the King Tour as an iron for a Tour level player up to a 7 handicap and I think this iron could see the bags of more golfers than that. I am a 9.4 handicap, and I felt more than comfortable playing this iron even on less than perfect days.

Stealth 2 Plus

I typically like the bigger and more forgiving drivers, but this ended up being the one I hit the best. My miss is a low-left hook that comes from some swing flaws, and it was a shot I saw too many times with last year’s Stealth. My first time on the range, I noticed that shot would actually launch a little higher, stay in the air better, and not go as hard left.

The Plus might be the lowest-launching of the three, but it is still easy to elevate off the tee and produces flat, boring drives. I averaged a launch of 11.1 degrees in a 10.5-degree head with a Fujikura Ventus TR Red shaft. Spin was also the lowest and averaged 2,874 RPM, but the bigger part of that number is how the spin variation from center strikes to off center is very low. Only a few hundred RPM separated the highest and lowest spinning shots.

The Plus also offered the least draw out of the group with a very straight ball flight and even a few shots that went a hair to the right.

This the bread-and-butter driver option offering hefty amounts of forgiveness and is easy to launch while offering low spin. This is the model that should launch and spin in-between the other two, but it actually ended up being the lowest launching for me. It wasn’t by much, but I had an average launch of 10.2 degrees with a 10.5-degree head and the same shaft as the Stealth 2 Plus. The spin was a little higher but only by a very small margin, as I averaged 2,917 RPMs.

For most players the nice thing about the Stealth 2 is that it seems a little easier to square up and turn over at impact. I saw a little more draw in the shots and the starting line was more straight to just slightly left. Like the Plus, I was pleased with the face that my miss off the high toe launched a little higher and stayed in the air a bit longer for a more playable shot.

Stealth 2 HD

I was actually the most excited to try this head because of how it looks. Most higher launching, draw-bias drivers sit very closed, and I don’t love that look. First time I set the HD down I was impressed that it looked square and a little larger, mostly from the visible red Carbon Composite Ring around the back. The HD also has a slightly shorter hosel that makes the driver play 1/4 inch shorter than the other two.

The HD did launch the highest at 11.5 degrees and spun the most, 3,105 RPM, out of the three Stealth 2 models. Those numbers still don’t sound like a high launching, spinny driver to me. The HD was the easiest of the Stealth models to turn over and really took away any shots to the right and any fade that I could have hit with the Plus. Off-center hits held up with solid ball speed and the added forgiveness in the head kept most shots online.

TaylorMade’s Stealth 2 line of drivers mixes distance with added forgiveness this year to really help golfers of all levels. Each model can cover a wide array of golfer abilities and the better players will still like the confident look from address. If you are looking to add a new driver to your bag this year, the Stealth 2 line is worth swinging.

Club Junkie Review: Vega Golf VDC and Mizar Tour irons

You may not have heard of Vega Golf, but the company has been making golf clubs for quite some time in Japan. Vega is known for their expertise in forging metal and the great feel their irons offer. This week I get to talk about different irons in their lineup and how they performed for me. For a more detailed review, please take a listen to the Club Junkie below or on any podcast platform. Just search GolfWRX Radio.

Star Line: Mizar Tour

The Mizar Tour is a compact players distance iron that is packed with technology. Wheres a lot of multi-piece irons just have a forged face, the entire body of the Mizar Tour is forged from S25c steel. The face is crafted from a high strength maraging steel and only 3.5mm thick for added ball speed.

Out of the box, the Mizar Tour look good with a lightly satin chrome finish and small black badge in the cavity. The irons look compact, with a thin sole, and you would not think it is made from multiple pieces. If you are a fan of less offset, the Mizar Tour is going to fit your eye really well as even the long irons have almost none. These irons might have the lest amount of offset I have seen in a retail iron that isn’t a blade. The shape is a little softer and more rounded than the VDC irons.

Hitting balls with the Mizar Tour is really pleasant, and as you would think, you get a very soft feel upon impact. Even off center shots have a good feel to them but with a little added vibration for feedback. The ball flight is mid/high and the irons are easy to launch off the turf. The long irons, like the 4, are a little intimidating because of the compact look and almost no offset. The longer irons are still pretty easy to launch and much more playable than you would expect.

The nice thing about the Mizar Tour is that when you miss that thin face allows you to still get minimal drop off in distance. Shots also stayed online better than I expected with these irons. Heel strikes and shots low on the face carried very well and online where you noticed a little more distance loss when you struck the ball on the toe. I love the players distance irons that allow players like myself to play a more compact iron without sacrificing performance.

Classic Line: VDC

The VDC shows off its fantastic milling work on the back side with dual cavities that allow Vega to adjust the CG higher on the irons for the perfect players cavity set. The irons look great with a slightly more square toe and edgier look to them than the Mizar line. The blade length is a little longer from heel to toe while still giving a traditional compact look. Faces on all the irons are micro-milled as well for precision shots and distance control. The sole is narrow and has a pre-worn leading edge for improved turf interaction. These irons again have very little offset, with maybe just a hair more than the Mizar set. Overall the shape is very proportionate and discerning players should be confident standing over them.

Feel on the VDC irons is wildly soft, making two-piece range balls feel soft. Shots struck in the center are met with a solid “thud” sound and that feeling of did you even make contact with the ball. While the face didn’t give you the sense of ball exploding off the face, the VDC provided solid distance and an ability to work the ball in any direction. The ball flight was more mid launching with a noticeably flatter trajectory than the Mizar.

If you are a player that likes to shape shots, the VDC will allow you to not only go right and left, but also allow you to pick your trajectory and really dial in those touch shots. The VDC is a little more demanding when it comes to forgiveness, and you will notice more of a distance drop off when you get away from the center of the face. The shots hit near the heel kept that solid and soft feel where the shots out on the toe and low are met with a little added vibration and click. Nothing is harsh, even in the cold weather I was hitting in and that responsiveness should help those feel players.

The VDC is a high-end players cavity iron set that offers great, soft feel that you would expect with precision shot making.

Overall, the Vega line of irons are high performance and great feeling. You can go down the Classic Line for traditional shapes and buttery soft feel or take the Star Line for technology packed irons with added firepower. Either way you go, there is probably a Vega iron that fits your game.

Club Junkie Review: Mizuno RB Tour, RB Tour X golf balls

Mizuno has long been known as an expert in forged irons, but the majority of golfers don’t realize the company makes everything a golfer needs. Mizuno woods, wedges, putters, bags, clothing, and even golf balls are extremely high quality. Golf balls might be the least known, but the new RB Tour series could change that.

Mizuno’s RB Tour and RB Tour X golf balls are both three-piece, urethane cover, golf balls that are designed for skilled players looking for precision. The RB Tour launches lower and produces less spin with driver, while the RB Tour X does the opposite and has a slightly firmer feel. Both have a glossy white finish and smaller logos and markings that should appeal to discriminating players.

For more details on the Mizuno RB Tour golf balls. make sure to check out the Club Junkie podcast below, or on any podcast platform. Just search “GolfWRX Radio.”

The RB Tour is the ball that is designed for players looking for a flatter launch, lower spin, but who still want to have a lot of green side control. Out on the course, I easily noticed that shots off the tee started out in a lower window and had a very flat trajectory. The RB Tour did offer a straighter flight with less curvature to my draw and hook while offering a soft and solid feel. Distance was good with the ball but I think the combination of lower launch and spin took a few yards from me compared to the RB Tour X.

With irons and wedges, I noticed less of a difference in launch, and I was easily able to launch the RB Tour high, and it landed softly on the green, when I hit them. Wedge shots carried a lot of spin and a fairway lie would often result in a ball that had very minimal release. I am not one to zip balls back off the green but felt like the small amount of release on the green was consistent and predictable. Shots out of the rough had a little more release after they hit the green, but again the amount was easily judged and only took a few shots to get used to.

The feel on the RB Tour is soft and solid with minimal audible click at impact. RB Tour is a soft ball, but not so soft that you lack feedback. Feel off the putter or wedge is pleasant, and you know immediately where you struck the shot.

This ball fit my game a little better with the higher launch and added spin on tee shots. Driver launch was clearly higher that the RB Tour and hit my preferred trajectory. The added spin seemed to help my shots stay in the air a little longer and carry just a bit further than the RB Tour.

Like I said before, the iron launch seemed to be very similar, and the RB Tour X was easy to get up in the air from the turf and land softly on the green. The higher flight and aded spin aided in distance control on the green where there was very minimal roll out. Shots from the fairway checked up immediately while shots from the rough rolled out a shorter distance than the RB Tour.

Around the green, I felt like the RB Tour X checked up just a little bit faster for me. The shorter chip and pitch shots had a little more grab on the first hop and less roll after that. Opening the face to hit higher lofted shots resulted in soft landing ball that again wanted to stop pretty quickly. Putting with the RB Tour X yielded a slightly firmer feel, but not wildly firmer than the RB Tour.

If you weren’t really paying attention, or using a soft insert putter, I think some golfers couldn’t tell the difference between the two. The roll is good and you get a slightly more audible click at impact that can be more responsive when you miss the center of the face.

Overall, I think the new Mizuno RB Tour golf balls are solid tour-level golf balls that offer good performance. If you are looking for a new golf ball this year, I think trying the new options from Mizuno out on the course would be worth your time.

2023 Cobra KING Tour Irons Review

50 Words or Less

The 2023 Cobra KING Tour irons feature five step forging that delivers a wonderfully soft feel. Sleek cavity back technology enhances performance while offering forgiveness. Don’t let the Tour designation dissuade you, these irons are playable by a wide spectrum of better players.

Introduction

“KING Tour” isn’t a new brand for Cobra, but the 2023 version of the irons is clearly a full remake. Besides the aesthetics, the big storyline is the forged construction. Forging is nothing new for irons, but Cobra added a fifth forging to the normal four step process to “deliver unmatched soft feel and precision shaping.” Curious as to what that final step entailed, I discovered that “each iron head is subjected to 2000 tons of pressure at 700-degrees Celsius, forming an extremely uniform and isotropic internal grain structure.” I don’t know about you, but to me that sounds pretty impressive.

For in the bag appeal, the 2023 KING Tour irons certainly display upgraded looks compared to the prior release [full review HERE ]. The toned down text size and streamlined cavity medallion offer a look more in harmony with the “players iron” moniker.

At address the narrow topline and slight offset will appeal to the better player. Cobra states that the 2023 version is slightly shorter in length than its predecessor, but I still wouldn’t categorize the head as compact. For me, that’s what makes the 2023 KING Tour irons so intriguing – they check a lot of “players” boxes without being intimidating.

Sound & Feel

I’ll jump straight to feel as it’s so soft and satisfying that it will surely be the first thing you’ll notice. The five step forging certainly is a major factor in the soft feel, but Cobra added two other influencers: a TPU insert and an aluminum medallion. Both do a wonderful job at dampening vibration . If you prefer some punishment to your hands with a slight mishit, the KING Tour irons might not be for you. For me, having subtle feedback on strike location without ever feeling harsh is a plus.

In a similar fashion, sound was also fairly consistent across the face. I wrote “solid ‘thwack’” in my first test session field notes. As I worked through the irons, I began to appreciate how well the sound and feel aligned .

Performance

First, I want to circle back to that TPU insert . You can see in the above photo the black TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) in the cavity of this 2023 KING Tour iron. By milling the back of the clubhead for the insert, Cobra was able to reposition weight towards the heel, sole, and toe. Think perimeter weighting for stability and forgiveness . I enjoyed the fact that I didn’t have to be dead center on my strikes to get consistent distances.

At the same time, the depth of the milling varied allowing designers to position the CoG for playability . Deeper cavities for lower CoG in the long irons assist with launch. Shallower cavities in the shorter irons add to control and precision. I appreciate that Cobra understands that many of us mortal golfers need help as we move up the bag.

Trajectories were optimal and very consistent with the 2023 KING Tour irons. The 5 and 6 irons had playable rollout while the 7 and 8 maintained ample stopping power. I loved the towering flight of the 9 and PW. I play on a course with a few large oak trees that often impede my direct route to the green. Trusting my ability to clear the tree, flight a ball low under the canopy, or work the ball around the branches is crucial, and the KING Tour irons really delivered.

The 2023 KING Tour irons come stock with KBS $-Taper shafts, which are just too heavy for me. Fortunately Cobra offers a great array of shaft options including my preferred Mitsubishi MMT graphite shafts [full review HERE ]. With the simplified online customization, I also opted for my gamer Golf Pride MCC+4 grips [review HERE ]. I didn’t need to adjust length, loft, or lie but it’s worth noting that those options are also readily available – the tour van experience without leaving your house . As always, if you haven’t been fit properly, take that first step to enjoyment.

Cobra lists the Tour irons for the handicap range of “TOUR – 7.” As a current 12, I contend the irons are more approachable. I understand the “Tour Cavity Back” descriptor Cobra assigned for differentiation, but I would designate the irons more in the Players Distance sector. The bottom line is to not get hung-up on lanes – find clubs that perform well for you and are appealing to your eye. For me, the 2023 KING Tour irons are those clubs, with the added bonus of wonderfully soft feel.

do you have the offset specs per iron? and would you say in terms of shape / blade length & tech, are they more like titleist t100s or t200? o

Offsets are listed on the Cobra website – there’s a link at the bottom of my review. I’m not familiar enough with the Titleist irons to offer any comparison.

– Meeks

Thanks Meeks.

Cobra’s “Tour – 7” kind of scares off the “average” golfer. Thanks for helping debunk that. Will add these to the trial queue.

Nice review. Those are beautiful looking irons. I had the original version, the Amp Forged irons, and as much as I like those clubs, the orange badging was definitely a bit much.

I need my iron set to include 3, and 4 iron. Why discontinue those iron

You jumped to a wrong conclusion Errol. Feel free to visit the spec chart at the end of the review.

Matt… OT buddy Sprague here. I’m shopping for new irons. Which clubs are guaranteed to go straight at OT? :)

For you Mr. Sprague, only a putter is guaranteed to go straight. In the hole is another issue. I strongly recommend you visit Jay at Club Champion around the corner and get fit for irons. He can’t work miracles, but I’m willing to bet all of Jackson’s money that he can have you hitting greens.

– Meeker

I’m going to test these, cannot find a single negative review and they look stunning. Interested in combo of 6-7 Tour and perhaps 8-PW CB. Would be curious to know what type of bomber Cobra could offer me in the 5 iron. Looking for high ball speed forgiving, easy to launch off deck. Great review here.

I just got fit for them, they blew away ZX7, 225, P770 and the usual players. The review is spot on about the feel, I’ve never felt “addicted” to the feel of a club till these. Now I am playing the waiting game!

Curious to see how they compare to PXG Gen 5 in terms of distance and feel. they look beautiful as do the CB/MB. What I’m really trying to determine and this might be a really stupid question but I’ll ask anyway, does getting more distance out of an iron actually equate to lower scores.

My simple answer would be no. Spin and landing angle would be much more important for most golfers. That said, if those parameters are equal, more distance is beneficial.

My theory, from decades of personal experience, is that being able to keep your tee shot in play and having a decent short game is what enables amateur golfers to score reasonably well. I’ve shot in the 70s and the 90s with blades. I’ve shot in the 70s and 90s with super game improvement irons. When I shoot in the 90s it’s because my driver isn’t cooperating and I can’t get up and down. When I shoot in the 70s I mostly hit my driver well and get up and down at a decent rate. The irons I’m playing have basically zero impact on my score. What are your thoughts?

I’d contend that it’s actually a three part equivalency. Driver, irons, and short game (including putting). When all three are “on” you and others can shoot in the 70s. Two of three gets the 80s. And when only one aspect is going you can still play in the 90s. But everyone is a little different. Thanks for sharing your observations regardless.

What MMT shaft do you play? I also play MMT, but the parallell shaft 80S in my PXG blades. I know that the taper tip plays a lot different compared to the parallel.

I had been gaming the 80 in regular flex. Just switched brands. You can always find the details of my setup in my WITB page – LINK .

Thanks for reading.

How are they compared to 23 P770 in terms of forgiveness?

Sorry Stephen, but Matt Saternus reviewed the TM’s.

I went to the Cobra website to configure a set and sadly their shaft selection is almost empty. Nothing hardly is available. What is up with that?

Has anyone else compared these irons to the 2016 King Forged Tours or the previous iteration called Fly Z + ?

Hi Matt, you reviewed the previous iteration the MIM, as well as this current gen. This review has only one comparison with the MIM, as upgraded looks. In your subjective personal view, what would be your comparison of the 2023 King Tour and the previous 2021 King Tour MIM? In terms of strike feel, turf interaction, setting up to the ball etc. Understand the MIM were KBS taper shafts and these 2023 King tours are MMT, some natural differences there.

Too much time has passed for me to offer fair comparisons Alex. That said, the 2023 iteration seemed vastly better overall.

Cobra King Tour Irons Review

Cobra king tour irons.

Modern golf has seen the characteristic of “Tour-inspired looks and feel with added forgiveness” absolutely thrive. Additionally, it’s been fascinating watching how rapidly this “category” has evolved and closed the gap between the “control and feel of a forged blade” and the “distance and forgiveness of a distance iron”. The new Cobra King Tour irons are a perfect example of this. A forged tour cavity back design that puts a premium on shot making and feel, these irons have some added forgiveness and impressive distance as well.

Cobra put a lot of effort into giving the King Tour irons “Tour-inspired” looks while still maintaining the benefits of a little more forgiveness and a softer feel. If you’re familiar with Cobra’s Forged Tec lineage, these new Tour irons feature a progressively more compact profile with a thinner topline and less offset . (They’re also shorter from heel to toe for those familiar with Cobra’s MIM irons.) In my opinion, while the Forged Tec irons were certainly very nice, the King Tour irons look a lot sleeker and are much closer to a player’s blade profile. They look really good behind the ball and capable of shaping your shots as necessary.

How Does it Feel?

I find the Cobra King Tour irons to be a really strong execution of balancing strong and soft . These irons are every bit of a forged iron. In fact, Cobra used the same 5-step forging process that they use for their CB/MB blades. This means they “press” a bar of 1025 carbon steel five times rather than the usual two to four times. An extra press makes the grain structure of the metal tighter and more consistent which leads to a cleaner and more precise feel .

In order to make the King Tour irons a little more forgiving and take some sting out of the hands, Cobra CNC milled undercuts in the back of each iron. These undercuts accomplish a few other things as well. By removing weight in this location, it moves the center of gravity (CG) a little lower in the head. It also moves the weight more toward the perimeter of the club. These two things make it a little easier to get the ball in the air, but it also makes the club feel a bit more stable and under control at impact .

Naturally you can assume removing a chunk of metal from behind the face of a forged iron creates a cavity in the head that’s going to impact the feel and sound. To address this, Cobra filled the undercut cavity with a TPU material and covers it with an aluminum medallion. Both of these materials help dampen the feel and remove the sting from your mishits. And I’ll tell you what, they really got it right. I can’t express to you enough how smooth and clean these irons feel , but the face response is very precise so you know exactly where you’re hitting the ball giving you total confidence in your shot control.

How Does it Sound?

As you can imagine, the sound and feel match up pretty closely with the Cobra King Tour irons. The forging of the irons give the sound tight, solid characteristics, but the TPU and aluminum dampen and soften it up nicely. Those qualities are also consistent across a good portion of the face due to the undercut design. As such, the sound of a purely struck shot is a modest “smack” . It’s firmness is reminiscent of a forged blade, but that typical forged “click” is more muted from the TPU insert and aluminum medallion.

The King Tour iron’s sole isn’t thick, but it isn’t razor thin either. This profile creates a little more glide through impact rather than a sharp “rip”. The end result is a clean “ whish ” sound through the turf that can get a little more on the lighter side of “thumpy” on heavier shots.

On-Course Performance

I feel like I could really run on in this section about my testing experience, but it’s pretty easy to sum up in one sentence. These Cobra King Tour irons are really cool . As mentioned above, the feel is really nice and that plays a huge role in the performance. The King Tour irons are easy to control and I didn’t feel like I had to find a pea-sized sweet spot every time to achieve maximum results. Don’t get me wrong, these are still a Tour-inspired iron and are by no means a game improvement iron, but I didn’t feel like I needed to be a scratch player to hit them well .

As mentioned earlier, the lower CG from the undercuts makes it easier to launch the ball. This doesn’t mean the club is high launching by any means, but it means it’s easier to get the ball off the ground and carrying . I find this to be a really nice bit of help in a blade-esque iron. The trajectory was piercing and my carry was really strong. That powerful flight combined with a little extra speed from the undercut design was consistently delivering about 10 extra yards per club for me .

Final Thoughts – Cobra King Tour Irons

I’m not exactly sure what I actually expected going into testing, but something really clicked with me and the Cobra King Tour irons. For a player’s iron, they’re soft on the hands with great workability and easier distance. I mean, right out of the gate, I was hitting effortless 190-yard 7 irons with a really tight dispersion. I’ll take that anytime of year, let alone when my game is in “Chicago January” form. As I spent time working through the entire set, the experience was more of the same and I was both impressed and really pleased with what I was seeing. If you’re looking for a great blend of player’s looks and performance with a little bit of help built into them, the Cobra King Tour irons are truly a fantastic option.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Review

Cobra is in an interesting position in golf right now. It's producing consistently good golf clubs, that produce good numbers at what seem like very fair prices... by modern day standards anyway. With the Speedzone drivers it has something pretty special too given the headlines they are making in the hands of a certain Mr Bryson DeChambeau and the staggering lengths he is hitting golf balls using one, regardless of it's shaft length.

Given the position Cobra is in, to really take it to the next level I believe they need to start producing some great sets of irons too, and doing so consistently year on year. By that I mean stepping up their better player offerings to improve their reputation in this area. Better feeling, better looking, higher performing, solid irons that last and that good ball strikers can get excited about.

Has Cobra Golf made a step in this direction with the new Cobra King Tour irons thanks to MIM technology? Time to find out...

What's It All About?

I first heard about Cobra's new all-singing, all-dancing MIM technology early last year with the King wedge line-up for 2019 but haven't had the chance to put it to the test until now, and to be honest I'm glad I waited until I could do so in a set of irons as opposed to just a wedge. These new Cobra King Tour irons for 2020/21 are what I've been waiting for.

The big story here is that the King Tour irons are neither forged or cast, unlike all of the other 'similar' irons they are going up against. When I say similar, I mean other better player cavity back irons like: Ping i210s , TaylorMade P7MCs , Titleist T100s and the new Mizuno JPX921 Forged .

Cobra is claiming they have developed a new innovative way of producing irons using MIM technology which stands for 'Metal Injection Molding'. It is said to produce a more precise product which requires fewer steps and less hands-on contact to finalise, leading to more consistent results.

Each iron head is created using a mixture of 304 stainless steel metal powder, which is heated and injected into a mould. The metal is heated to a higher temperature than with forged irons (1340° vs 1200°) and this is said to strengthen the grain structure for a higher level of precision and soft feel similar to that of a carbon steel forging. Taking all of this into account, Cobra claims to have created "a better feel than any forged offering on the market."

Big claim Cobra, big claim. My usual question when I hear about manufacturers using new innovations to create better products than the biggest selling club manufacturers, and the best proven ways to create golf clubs for decades, is why isn't every manufacturer doing it like this if it were the case? Throughout my test, I gave Cobra the benefit of the doubt.

What Cobra Say...

"We've used our MIM process over the past two years to deliver softer and more precisely-shaped designs in our wedges. Now, in response to demand from better players and our Tour staffers, seeking the same benefits in a full set of irons, our R&D team delivered the King Tour irons."

"These irons are softer than any forged offerings on the market, and like their wedge counterparts, offer better consistency in shaping for more precision shot-making on the course."

Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for Cobra Golf.

I tested these irons in three different scenarios: hitting around 10-15 balls with each iron (5, 7, 9) on the practice range (off a mat), hitting a number of 7 irons on a FSX simulator to analyse the ball data before heading out to play 12 holes at Denton GC in wet and wintery conditions - preferred lies please!

I was mainly looking at the feel of these irons from different lies including fairway, off a mat and in the rough to see how they stacked up to my current forged Ping i210 irons.

In my opinion, the Cobra King Tour irons are some of the best looking irons I have ever seen. Hopefully the pictures I have taken for this review do them justice, they really do look brilliant from every angle. At first I thought the cavity looked a little more 'game-improvement' than 'better-player' but as I took a closer look my opinion changed.

They combine classic 'better-player' shaping with a contemporary design in the cavity to give them some serious shelf and 'in bag' appeal. Rock up to the course with these beauties and you're going to be turning heads - no doubt.

Every detail has been crafted with real attention to detail which I love, the heads have been hand polished to produce a beautiful satin finish that really stands out. The shaping and finish reminds me a little of the Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 irons that came out a few years back, there is definitely a classic Wilson iron feel going on here. I think that Cobra has taken a few leaves out of Wilson Staff's book in the iron aesthetics department with the King Tour irons and given their major history in this department, it may serve them pretty well.

Down at the ball, the good looks continued as the King Tour irons kept on ticking boxes. From the first shot to the last during my test I felt they really focused my eye in on the back of the ball, forcing me to concentrate that little bit more. I wanted to hit these irons well, and I think the looks at address played a massive part in making sure I did this.

If I was rating these irons solely on looks, I'd give them a strong 9 and I can imagine a lot of golfers agreeing with me. They look exactly how a better players iron in 2020 should look like.

As with most 'better player' irons, this is the most important section of the review and given Cobra's huge claims with these irons, this section is more important than ever. Does the MIM technology really feel better than some of the best forged irons out there? Well, to be honest it depends what you categorise 'great feel' in an iron to be. I think each golfer will have a slightly different take on this.

From the first 9 iron I hit on the range with King Tour irons, I was impressed with most characteristics of King Tour irons. How did they feel off the face at impact? I have to say they felt good. Did they feel any better than the Ping i210 irons though? It wouldn't say so to be honest.

They certainly felt a little different however and this is what I mean, some golfers may find this difference as better, I didn't. It's all down to personal preference. They felt firmer and potentially a little more solid and dare I say it harder off the face when striking the ball. But personally when it comes to feel alone, I couldn't confirm that the King Tour irons are 'better feeling' because of the MIM technology.

One other area of technology that I felt did impress me however was the TPU insert in the cavity. This is a thermoplastic polyurethane insert positioned behind the sweet spot which really is nothing new in golf clubs, most better players performance irons these days have these placed in the insert to again help improve feel. The TPU insert did just that, and as I say I did enjoy the feel of the irons.

Performance

From the three different testing conditions I reviewed these irons in, I have to say performance-wise they were great. I was very impressed with how each club performed when I found the middle of the face and on off-centre strikes.

Forgiveness-wise, there was plenty, which I surprised about, and again I put that down to a couple of things. Firstly the TPU insert just helps to dampen the blow of an off-centre strike and still gives you good feedback and decent results.

Secondly, each iron in this set features tungsten weighting in the toe which is to help position the centre of gravity better behind the sweet spot - not only to help these irons feel great but to add more stability to the head through impact.

Regardless of the great looks and good feel, this is where I felt the Cobra King Tour irons excelled - stability through the strike. On the range I thought the consistency of ball flight and direction was excellent with these irons. I felt like I knew where the ball was going before I had even hit it - which any golfer will know is always a good sign. You have to have confidence in your golf equipment.

During my indoor testing I hit a couple of errant shots that still performed well and didn't fall off a cliff data-wise, showing that there is still plenty of forgiveness in these heads. Similarly on the course, one of my bad shots is to catch the ball thin and low on the clubface, I did this on occasion during this review and felt the ball flight and performance was still impressive.

I was impressed by the ball flight overall in fairness, I tend to hit the ball very hit due my attack angle, so to see the ball flight with these irons not being too high was again a positive for me.

Finally, looking at the distances, it's clear that when swinging fairly moderately during indoor testing, the carry distances are pretty impressive too. An average carry distance of 167.8 yards with a 7 irons is slightly above where I would expect a 7 iron to go - usually I'm around the 163-164 yards mark. These irons are clearly hot off the face too and pack a serious punch.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Verdict

I think Cobra have created a great set of irons here. They perform well in all departments, look great, and have a element of uniqueness about them that I like too.

My only reservation with these irons and the reason I won't be giving them five stars is because I don't believe they feel better than forged irons. They feel good, solid, and still pretty soft across the face but still not like a forged iron to me, and that is what Cobra is directly claiming.

Would I Use Them?

Yes I would, I really enjoyed testing these irons and hit some great shots in to greens doing so, I felt they had a great deal of accuracy and that is ultimately what you want from a players iron.

I think if you choose to add these irons to your testing list then no doubt will you be impressed by the looks and performance. Cobra are certainly moving in the right direction here and at £999 for 4-PW that's expensive, but still pretty competitive in today's better player iron market.

Brilliant modern looks
Stable through the hitting zone
Soft-ish feeling
Forgiving on off-centre hits for a players iron
Hot off the face giving good carry numbers
Cobra Connect by Arccos in smart grip to help better analyse data
Don't quite live up to Cobra's claims
Better players will probably stick to forged irons as it's what they know and love.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Review | We Did NOT Expect This!

Alex from GolfMagic went to GraysGolf in Lewes to test out the NEW Cobra King Tour MIM Irons, and got some incredibly surprising results.

Cobra Golf recently announced the launch of the new KING Tour irons that feature Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Technnology and given how successful the brand has been over the past few years, we couldn't wait to get our hands on them and put them to the test.

There's no question that Cobra has quickly become one of the main players in the golf industry and have arguably launched the best driver of the year in the SPEEDZONE driver, but there was definitely some work that needed to be done in the iron department.

The new KING Tour MIM irons are certainly unique, given that they feature a technology like no other in the iron market, but how did they perform when GolfMagic's Alex Lodge put them to the test at GraysGolf in Lewes? Watch the video below for our full review of the new irons from Cobra.

THE DETAILS

Building off the popularity of its KING MIM Wedges, COBRA is applying MIM Technology to a full set of irons for the first time and reinventing the way premium irons are designed and manufactured.

MIM manufacturing produces a more precise finished product utilizing fewer steps and minimal hands-on post-process polishing, unlike traditional forging and casting processes.

The final step is hand-polishing to deliver the perfect satin finish.

While many forgings require moderate polishing to remove excess materials, MIM technology requires only subtle polishing to ensure the shape is consistent from set to set.

In addition to the MIM process, the new KING TOUR Irons incorporate the following technologies that drive precision, forgiveness, and excellent feel in a players cavity back iron:

- Tungsten Weighting: A tungsten weight in the toe better positions the center of gravity behind the hitting zone to deliver the purest, most precise shots with added stability that keeps the ball on target.

- TPU Insert: A thermoplastic polyurethane insert is positioned behind the hitting zone to damp vibrations for a soft and buttery feel at impact.

- COBRA CONNECT Technology: The COBRA CONNECT, Powered by Arccos™ system utilizes Smart grips on each iron that sync with the Arccos Caddie app to give users the ability to track their shot data so they can improve faster. The purchase of each set of KING TOUR Irons includes a 90-day free trial of the Arccos Caddie app.

SPECIFICATIONS & AVAILABILITY

The KING TOUR Irons with MIM Technology are available in a 4-PW set make-up in right hand only, while a 3-iron and Gap Wedge complement are available via custom order.

Each KING TOUR Iron is equipped with a steel KBS $-Taper 120 shaft in the golfer’s choice of stiff or regular flex.

In addition, each iron comes with a Cobra Lamkin Crossline Connect grip in Black.

A wide selection of shaft and grip upgrades are also made available through custom order. The stock steel set (4-PW) retails for £999 and will be available beginning October 30 from COBRA’s entire network of off-course retailers/custom clubfitters.

GOLFMAGIC VERDICT

The new Cobra KING TOUR MIM irons are extremely unique, especially in terms of design.

Irons in the 'players' category typically have a very minimalistic and classic design, but the KING TOUR MIM irons definitely have a more commercial feel to them and look more like a game improvement club.

That doesn't mean they don't look great, it's just a matter of opinion, but once you put these irons to the test you get a feel for why they don't look as 'simple'.

What you don't expect from irons in this category is much forgiveness, which is what completely took us by surprise with these irons and explained the more complex design.

They feel fantastic off the clubface and off-centre hits still produced some really good numbers.

With a 7-iron, Alex was getting a carry distance of 179 yards and a total distance of 185 yards, combined with a spin rate of 6600rpm.

Of course, everyone's numbers will be different, but Alex was extremely happy with these results and he explains in the video that these irons will suit a range of golfers. So if you're in the market for a new set of irons this winter, make sure you put the Cobra King Tour MIM irons to the test yourself.

Golf Irons & Iron Sets FAQ

What are cavity back irons.

What are muscle back irons or muscle blades?

In contrast to cavity back irons, muscle backs have a fuller back area on the clubhead. The muscle back clubhead is also the more traditional clubhead design of the two. Since the weighting of the clubhead is more central, the muscle back can be less forgiving on mis-hits. So, in general, more skill is usually required to get the best shot performance and accuracy from a muscle back design.

Are cavity back and muscle back the only types of irons?

No. In fact, most modern irons and iron sets fall somewhere between the two, borrowing aspects from both types of clubhead designs.

What are game improvement irons?

"Game improvement irons" typically have more perimeter weighting and a wider sole. These irons are usually targeted at casual or novice golf players since they can be much more forgiving. And, since they are more forgiving, a game improvement iron set can help get the ball in the air more accurately and consistently on poorly hit shots, potentially lowering a player's score.

Are Wedges considered Irons?

Technically, yes, wedges are considered a higher lofted subset of irons. However, wedges are not part of the typical numbering system of irons. Irons are numbered 1 through 10, where the higher the number the higher the loft. Wedges are typically higher lofted and shorter than the highest numbered irons.

Why is face flexibility a valuable feature for a golf iron?

The ability of the iron's clubface to give a slight impact can help deliver a straighter shot with more velocity. A great example of this is the TaylorMade SIM Max Irons. These irons and iron sets feature an innovation called a Speed Pocket. The Speed Pocket disconnects the bottom of the face from the sole allowing for a free-floating face. The result is greater ball speed and forgiveness.

What are the differences between steel and graphite shafts in iron sets?

Steel shafts are preferred for their precision and consistency, ideal for players valuing control. Graphite shafts are lighter, helping to increase swing speed and are easier on the hands and joints, making them suitable for players needing extra distance and comfort.

Can iron sets be customized for grip size and shaft length?

Yes, customization options like grip size and shaft length are available to suit individual preferences.

What should I consider when looking at the loft and lie of irons?

Loft and lie are important factors to consider when selecting irons. The loft of an iron affects the trajectory and distance of the ball, while the lie angle influences the direction of the ball. It is important to ensure that the loft and lie angles are suitable for your swing to maximize performance.

How does the number of clubs in an iron set affect my game?

The set composition impacts strategy and shot selection. Beginners might opt for sets that offer essential clubs for simplicity, whereas experienced players might select full sets for more shot options.

Top Golf Iron Recommendations for 2024

Irons are integral clubs, used for a variety of shots in a game of golf. In this section, let's explore three superior golf iron options that promise not only to improve the playing experience but also serve as thoughtful gifts for golf lovers.

Mizuno Golf Pro 241 Irons

Why it's great: The Mizuno Pro 241 Irons epitomize Mizuno's pioneering spirit, blending advanced engineering with the precise profiles favored by top players. Crafted from a single billet of 1025E mild carbon steel in Hiroshima, Japan, these irons offer the iconic Mizuno feel at impact, thanks to the Grain Flow Forged HD process. The irons feature an optimized, graduated Tapered Blade design that ensures a more penetrating ball flight as loft increases, with fine-tuning of the sweet spot height and CG distance across the set. Enhanced with a thicker muscle behind the impact area for improved sound and feel, and a copper underlay for a softer impact feel, these irons also boast a tour-proven, narrower, cambered sole designed based on feedback during prototype testing. This meticulous design and construction result in a set of irons that deliver performance worthy of the game's best players. Learn more about the Mizuno Golf Pro 241 Irons here

Wilson Golf Staff D7 Irons

Why it's great: The Wilson Golf Staff D7 Irons use RE-AKT™ Technology to allocate power efficiently. These irons exhibit a progressive design; the long irons host three rows of Power Holes and a responsive, ultrathin face to maximize distance. On the other hand, the shorter irons, with fewer Power Holes and optimized weighting, offer exquisite feel and precision in distance control. This thoughtful engineering in the D7 irons aids golfers in elevating their game. Moreover, the D7's sleek design, blending the aesthetics of a player’s iron with the perks of Super Game Improvement Technology, makes it a visually appealing and performance-driven addition to any golfer's kit. Learn more about the Wilson Golf Staff D7 Irons here!

TaylorMade Golf Qi Irons

Why it's great: The TaylorMade Golf Qi Irons are engineered to redefine accuracy with their design that prioritizes straight distance, setting them apart as the straightest distance irons in golf. Recognizing the common golfer's tendency to miss to the right, TaylorMade has deliberately crafted these irons to promote precision and control, countering the typical game improvement irons that might unintentionally encourage a rightward miss. The Qi irons boast an Integrated Design System, a sophisticated amalgamation of technologies including organic face geometries, the innovative Cap Back Design™, and the Speed Pocket™. This system is tailored to optimize the performance of each iron in the set, ensuring not only ideal spacing between clubs but also maximizing ball speeds and enhancing the consistency of straight shots. This holistic approach to iron design delivers an unmatched level of performance, aiming to significantly improve the player's game. Learn more about the TaylorMade Golf Qi Irons here!

Cobra King Forged Tec Copper Irons Reviews

The most beautiful distance.

Ryan Heiman Founder and head author at Independent Golf Reviews

The Cobra King Forged Tec Copper irons rely on a hollow design infused with foam microspheres. This is key to creating distance because the face needs to flex without caving in as well as sound and feel need to be aided by the foam so that it doesn’t “ring” at impact. Cobra pulls it off most beautifully in these irons. While they aren’t as pure as a solid metal blade, their slightly higher pitch at impact is still within the acceptable range for a players irons. I find the sound more noticeable not so much at impact but as the club clang around in the bag, their bumping together is higher pitched.

Another technology in the Cobra King Forged Tec Copper irons is what they call PWRSHELL. Basically it is a forged face that wraps around the sole of the club. This creates a huge sweet spot as well as high launch and tons of forgiveness. When this tech is paired with the other elements of the design, it offers high launch and long distance in a compact yet forgiving head. It really is part of what defines these irons as players distance irons.

Cobra also utilizes Tungsten again in this iron head as they have been now for years to manipulate the CG to pull it towards the toe, while also keeping it low and behind the sweet spot. The use of Tungsten in the Cobra King Forged Tec Copper irons helps launch the ball high and straight. Because they have minimal offset there is still some workablity in these heads. While you aren’t going to hit massive hooks or slices with them, you can manipulate the flight to move right or left. You are still going to hit the ball high and it is going to carry a full club longer or more, there is a level of control not common to distance irons.

The Cobra King Forged Tec Copper irons are long, these are at least a club longer than my regular distances. This did takes some getting used to. The most obvious one is not just bombing every shot over the green. Figuring out exactly what the yardage gains were and which irons worked best for “tweener” shots. Once I made a few adjustments, the distance was way long. I like how these came in a 4-iron through GW set because the added distance needs to get filled by an extra wedge.

The Cobra King Forged Tec Copper irons have amazing looks, feel, distance and Arccos. This has been a staple of Cobra clubs for 3 years now. I love Arccos and have found it be very beneficial to my game. I like that it is embedded in all the grips of Cobra clubs so I only need a couple screw-in sensors for the other clubs in my bag. While they used to include them in the box, now you have to order the extra ones. I can understand this change, why send out a bunch of sensors if people aren’t going to use them anyways. Arccos really is a “free” bonus with these clubs that should be perfect for the golfer choosing these irons.

The Cobra King Forged Tec Copper Irons have stock KBS $-Taper lite shafts. This has become one of my favorite shaft models with the combination of great feel, strong launch and controlled spin. The lite model of this shaft is used to create a little more speed in the swing. The overall combination of head and shaft work well. The Lamkin grips that top of the club are nice especially with the embedded Arccos.

Cobra took an excellent set of irons and gave them an amazing finish. They are the most beautiful irons in the bag or on the turf; plus they offer extra distance. The Cobra King Forged Tec Copper irons fit a fairly wide range of golfers with their extra distance, ample forgiveness and incredible looks. Their relatively minimal offset is going to keep them out of a slicers hand, but there are plenty of those irons out there. Cobra made the most beautiful distance irons.

Cobra Golf 2021 Men's King Mim Tour Iron Set

Product Description

When forging or casting couldn't deliver the soft feel we sought after, we introduced a new process. The new KING tour irons are the first irons created using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Technology, the most precise way to make a precision iron. A new copper finish is available to complement the chrome to suit different preferences in aesthetic.

Thanks for the really thorough review dude

I don't believe these are available lefty, at least they weren't when i ordered. I ended up going with Forged TECs which i really love.

Big fan of Cobra. Most of their stuff is very competitively priced with a lot of free upgrade options

For example the Modus 130s were free upcharge on my TECs.

These always looked like sweet clubs to me

Nice write up.

I tested the Forged Tec and liked them as much as the HMB’s and found them to feel every bit as good. They outperformed anything I’ve hit with strikes low on the face (my miss), but I liked the HMB look and distance control better.

I just picked up the original King Forged Tec (2016) 4 iron since my utility 4 iron isn’t working out like I had hoped.

I’m hoping the OG King Forged Tec is much like the 2020 Forged Tec 🤞

Great write up. Big fan of Cobra products and their customer service has been excellent for me. Their naming of clubs gets a little confusing times (forged tec) as the model has changed over the past few years albeit a different type of construction, but I think you get a lot of bang for your buck while being at to customize sets. I play their driver and the SL Forged Tec Irons and have been very happy with both.

Big cobra fan here. I just can't get over the KING in big letters. Otherwise I agree these feel pretty darn good and very forgiving.

Regular MIM's are not in LH but the more expensive Copper ones are. These are also appealing to me but the price tag of the copper ones there are a lot of other great irons for the same price or even less and I don't know how much I'd want copper irons.

It's good to be the KING (Cobra Forged Tec iron).

I have copper Forged Tecs which I like a lot in the longer irons but less so in the short irons.

So I've just added Tour GW and PW.

Have these and love them . Anyone have any idea when the new one lengths will be released? Very intrigued by that idea

vtpachyderm

I had a set of 2016 Forged Tecs with Recoil F3 shafts which I used up until last year (2020). Loved these clubs, but as I was getting better, I was on the lookout for stiffer and heavier shafts, and managed to pick up a set of Callaway Apex Pro 16's with Recoil 110 (F4) shafts - which to be honest, is an amazing set of clubs.

So when the Cobra rep came to our course, I tested out both the MIM Tours and the Forged Tecs, with the Catalyst 80 shaft as well as the 780 F4 recoil shaft, and it was a night and day difference between the two heads. The MIM's felt so smooth and 'soft' whereas the Forged Tec's were quite clicky. Really liked the MIM tours, but was a little gob smacked at the price ($1400).

It's a bit difficult to try different clubs/shafts here where I live, so I generally see what I can find on the used market to test. The feel on the Callaway's are really really nice, so that gave me a good baseline as to what to ask the reps. I tried the new Apex Pro's with the MMT 95 shafts, and those also felt too clicky compared to both the MIM's and my current set.

Ideally now, I would love to try a set of MIM's with the MMT shafts, as I think that is exactly what I'm looking for in an iron set. I somehow don't like the feel/sound of the hollow body irons and it's getting harder to find some 'traditional' iron heads that have a wee bit of forgiveness nowadays, so I think I'll eventually end up with a set of MIM's as they seem to be a dying breed for us mere mortals that shouldn't really be playing blades.

I'm glad to see someone starting another topic on these irons as they should be at the top for everyone who is looking for a new set of irons. Now just because I don't play them anymore as I had them for almost a year and loved them as they easily beat out my TM P790's and PING G710's. I got the itch for something different as the MIM's are very different when it comes to feel. I got caught up in all the hype about the Srixon ZX line and went for the ZX5's with F3 UST Recoil Smacwrap shafts. I've never seen Srixon in person and never once considered purchasing a set. I will leave that for another story but not here.

Customer Service: I purchased my MIM's directly from Cobra as I received the Military Discount as received them within a week. That was for a custom set too. Very satisfied

My Srixon's came for GOLFUSA out of Manhattan Ks. Cody and Ken were fantastic as they were very patient to help me get the best possible deal with exactly what I wanted.

Looks: The MIM's are very sexy with the chrome and black look, now I know you don't see the back of the cavity but it is a bit busy and the font for KING is large for my taste and the blade length was not as compact and that is what I like. The MIM's just seem stretched out.

My ZX5 really look awesome without any overkill lettering or fancy badges. Edge goes to the ZX5

Feel: I've never hit anything quite as nice as the MIM's until I hit my Srixon's. This could be argued as mishits on the MIM's were a bit harsh and clicky. Mishit's with my Srixon didn't lose much distance and did I say how the edge goes to Srixon as they feel amazing.

Performance: Ball speed distance all were better with my ZX5's as the MIM's held there own with just about every other brand out there that wasn't all jacked up in their lofts. Both are very forgiving. Long irons with my ZX5's are extremely easy to hit. MIM long irons performed very well but the V-Sole in the Srixon is pretty nice.

Value: I got what I feel is just as nice of a set of irons with a few more boxes checked with my Srixon's as they are reasonably priced compared to the MIM's.

Now none of this should ever change anyone mind when it comes to picking out a set of irons, Demo them both and if your only able to test one and not the other I would be very surprised if you were to choose a different big name brand as these are 2 companies have easily been over looked and should get more Love then they deserve. I would have loved to have kept my MIM's but I don't need 2-3 set's of irons 5-6 different drivers or as many punters as those days are gone. I have had my share of top notch equipments to include some JDM equipment as well. Right now everything in my bag is working very well for me as I'm playing some of the best golf ever, This is just my observation between the 2 sets. Just get fitted 1st then go from there as you can't go wrong with the MIM's they are that nice.

This always seems to happen, as soon as a topic on these irons get's brought up it just seems to die even quicker. I'm curious as to how well does the chrome hold up as I know if you hit these off the toe it will leave a ball mark that doesn't rub off. Other than that they are very nice looking and feeling irons, little long from heel to toe and a bit pricey.

None of this really surprises me. I made a long exhaustive search for a set of irons I was going to play long term. My final four in no particular order were.....

4. Sub 70 699Pro

In the end the MiM and the Sub 70 lost out because I did not like the way they blended into a more forgiving long iron setup. The T100 and 200(previous models that were out when I tested) I did not care for the feel of the T200 at all.

The ZX7, MiM, T100, and Sub 70 all were pretty close to being exactly equal in and of themselves. Sure everyone will have a favorite and may get along with one sole design better than another for turf interaction, or may like the feel of one over the other, pure forgiveness is all very similar. Each club may be better for your miss, but all four of these irons are great and when paired with your favorite shaft will be a great addition to your bag.

In the end the deciding factor was the Srixon's sole and therefore turf interaction was better for me, factor that in with the better blending into the long irons from a looks perspective(which matters for me) and the Srixon ended up in my bag.

Cobra KING Tour Irons Review
The Cobra KING Tour irons have a look that caused me to hesitate on categorization. The narrow topline and slight offset clearly communicate a pure players irons.

Cobra King Tour Irons Review
I find the Cobra King Tour irons to be a really strong execution of balancing strong and soft. These irons are every bit of a forged iron. In fact, Cobra used the same 5-step forging process that they use for their CB/MB blades. This means they "press" a bar of 1025 carbon steel five times rather than the usual two to four times.
Cobra King Tour Irons
The Cobra King Tour Irons with MIM technology are more than just feel, they are precise tools for attacking pins.
