Cobra Golf Introduces New KING Tec, KING Tec X, and KING Tec X ONE Length Irons

COBRA Golf,  a leader in golf club innovation, today introduced the fifth generation KING TEC, KING TEC-X, and KING TEC-X ONE LENGTH Irons.

Aimed at a wide variety of handicaps, the improved KING TEC lineup offers the ultimate combination of forged feel and looks, impressive distance, and enhanced forgiveness.

KING TEC IRONS

The new KING TEC irons, which are aimed at 0-12 handicaps looking for the ultimate player’s distance iron, feature newly refined shaping with a shortened blade length, softened topline, “tucked toe,”, and updated PW with a flattened topline and straighter leading edge. Improved feel is provided through a 5-step forged hollow clubhead construction and enhanced foam microspheres that fill the clubhead and dampen vibration for improved acoustics without sacrificing the feedback better players desire.

While other forged irons have traditionally used a four-step process, COBRA^® utilizes a fifth forging strike to deliver unmatched soft feel and precise shaping.  The forging process begins by heating carbon steel billets to 1200-degree Celsius. The billets are then Rough Forged three times (steps 1-3), a process in which the metal is bent and forged to form the rough shaping of an iron head. Step Four involves applying 1200 tons of pressure at 800-degrees Celsius to each rough clubhead, refining the shapes and placing detail lines and logos. During the final fifth step, each iron head is subjected to 2000 tons of pressure at 700-degrees Celsius, forming an extremely uniform grain structure. After cooling, each clubhead is polished and made ready for the faces and grooves to be precision milled using a CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) machine.  

                  

Built with a Forged PWRSHELL face insert with H.O.T Face Variable Thickness Geometry that is thinner and more robust, the new KING TEC irons produce more rebound for faster speed at impact and longer distance. For added forgiveness, 20g of tungsten is placed in the low heel area of the clubhead to minimize clubhead twisting at impact. A progressive construction design features tungsten in the 4-7 irons for improved launch and carry while the 8-GW are tungsten-free for a slightly more penetrating trajectory and enhanced accuracy in the scoring zone.  

 

The KING TEC irons ($1299/7-piece set) are available in 4-PW with KBS $-Taper Lite steel shafts and Lamkin Crossline grips. LH models available through custom only. 

 

KING TEC-X IRONS

Designed for 10-20 handicappers looking for a premium players game improvement iron, the KING TEC-X provides enhanced distance and forgiveness in a pleasing and relatively compact package. Featuring a slightly larger profile than the KING TEC, the KING TEC-X has a rounder and sleeker topline and reduced visual offset in comparison to the previous generation. 

Improved feel is provided by softer and lighter foam microspheres that fill the hollow clubhead and damp vibration at impact while also improving acoustics. Like the KING TEC, the KING TEC-X design also incorporates Cobra’s PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face with a thinner face insert with Variable Thickness Geometry, creating faster ball speeds and more overall distance. A 70g tungsten weight is suspended low in the clubhead for a lower CG and improved stability and forgiveness on off-center hits. The suspended weight also allows the sole and face to flex freely, further enhancing ball speed and distance. 

 

The KING TEC-X irons ($1299/7-piece set) are available in 5-GW with KBS TOUR LITE steel shafts and Lamkin Crossline grips. LH models available through custom only.  

 

KING TEC-X ONE LENGTH IRONS 

For players desiring the same distance and forgiveness attributes of the standard TEC-X with the added consistency and accuracy associated with the one-length design, a redesigned TEC-X ONE LENGTH model is also available. Featuring all the same premium technologies as the standard model, the TEC-X ONE LENGTH iron set contains 4-6 irons with wider soles (1.5mm wider), increased offset, and weaker lofts,making them easier to launch and more forgiving.  

The KING TEC-X ONE LENGTH irons ($1299/7-piece set) are available in 5-GW with KBS TOUR LITE steel shafts and Lamkin Crossline grips. LH models available through custom only.  

 

All three KING^TM TEC Irons will be available at cobragolf.com and at retail on November 8, 2024.
