Cobra King MB Irons Review: NCG Summary
NCG SUMMARY
For a blade, the Cobra King MB is as well-flavored to hit as it gets and doesn’t squint totally unhittable. Cobra have simplified the diamond and it has some serious bag appeal.
Cobra’s new 5 x forging process has produced blades that finger fantastic. There’s still plenty of feedback from off-centre strikes, but the centre hits finger soft and you’re worldly-wise to tenancy the flight on command.
PROS
- Contact feels brilliant
- Not super intimidating at address
- Very little offset for greater control
CONS
- Not the most forgiving irons, so won’t suit all golfers.
First Impressions
This is a classy-looking blade. The shiny toe and heel requite you the feeling that you could be stood over any unconfined stipule from history, so traditionalists are going to love the Cobra’s new King MB iron. I really like that Cobra have kept the when of the club simple and understated.
NCG Review
As a stipule enthusiast, I was very excited to test the new Cobra King MB irons, as Cobra’s recent stipule irons have been fantastic. At address, these aren’t as intimidating as some other blades on the market, as the top line is not super thin and the throne from heel to toe is a good size.
Cobra only sent a pitching wedge and an 8-iron for the test, as the King MB and CB models mix beautifully into a philharmonic set. I loved how the short irons felt at impact, the contact feels soft and controlled which is exactly what you are without in a short-scoring iron.
The wondrous finger off of the squatter from the King MB irons is lanugo to Cobra’s 5-stage forging process. This process is longer than the normal forged iron build, but it ensures clubs can be made to tighter tolerances and consistency to ensure each iron is of the highest quality.
My stereotype distances with these short irons are longer than I thought I’d see from a blade. The gapping is spot on, and the left-to-right dispersion is excellent. I had some poor strikes with the pitching wedge which explains the loftiness from off, but they all finished lanugo the target line which is a huge win.
The Cobra King MB irons have a progressive offset through the set, but as these are clubs designed for tour players and peerage wittiness strikers, there still isn’t really much. The short irons particularly have minimal offset which is platonic for players who don’t like to see the wittiness turn over too much.
Cobra have centred the CoG in the King iron series, which gives you unconfined writ over your trajectory and shot-making. It’s important for good players to know that when they make centred contact, they are getting maximum performance out of the club, and you really finger like you’re getting it out of the Cobra King MB.
Something that’s unconfined well-nigh the King MB irons is that they were designed to seamlessly merge with the King CB irons to create a split set. Using a full set of blades is often going to harm your performance but people do want to use them, so a split set is a unconfined option.
The Cobra King MB irons are a unconfined option for stipule lovers who want some archetype eye snacks in the bag. They finger phenomenal on a good strike and requite you plenty of feedback on the poor shots. I really enjoyed hitting these irons and they could potentially be the irons I use for the new season once I get the opportunity to test the whole set!
