A couple of years ago, Cobra Golf released a line of wedges that used a new technology called MIM, for Metal Injection Molding. Now, it is bringing out a line of King Tour irons that are made with the same process.
The head in each King Tour iron is created using a mixture of 304 stainless steel metal powder, which is then heated and injected into a mold. The result is a tighter-aligned grain structure that is notable for the precision and feel it provides. Then, the clubs are hand polished, so they have a satin finish.
In addition, the King Tours feature a tungsten weight in the toe, to ensure that the center of gravity is properly positioned behind the hitting zone. And a thermoplastic polyurethane insert is located behind the hitting zone to dampen vibrations and further enhance feel.
As is the case with other Cobra clubs, the King Tour irons come with Cobra Connect technology, which is powered by Arccos and employs smartgrips on each iron that sync with the Arccos Caddie app so players can track shot data.
“We used our MIM process over the past two years to deliver softer and more precisely shaped designs in our wedges,” said Tom Olsavsky, vice president of research and development for Cobra Golf. “Now, in response to demand from better players and our tour staffers seeking the same benefits in a full set of irons, we delivered the King Tour irons.
“These are softer than any forged offerings on the market, and like their wedge counterparts, offer better consistency in shaping for more precision shotmaking. While soft feel and consistency are important in the short game, optimizing these attributes throughout an entire iron set will give golfers better performance across a wider range of shot selections.”
King Tour irons with MIM technology are available in a 4-PW set makeup, in a right-handed version only. A 3-iron and gap wedge can be purchased by custom order.
