WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Cobra bills the new King Tec irons as the “ultimate players-distance iron” and, like the rest of the family, the irons are built around a new Forged PWRSHELL face insert with H.O.T Face Variable Thickness Geometry. That means the clubface is thinner and stronger, which helps produce higher ball speeds.
All the new models also utilize a five-step forging process, which the company says helps improve feel and allows for precise shaping.
With the King Tec, the shaping has been refined from the previous generation to shorten the blade length, soften the topline and create what the company calls a “tucked toe.” The pitching wedge in the set also sports a flatter topline and straighter leading edge.

The hollow part of the clubheads are filled with enhanced foam microspheres to dampen vibration and improve sound.
The King Tec 4- through 7-irons also feature a 20g tungsten weight in the low heel area to make the clubhead more stable through impact by increasing its resistance to twisting. The 8-iron through gap wedge have no tungsten to help lower ball flight.
Compared to the previous generation, the new game-improvement King Tec-X models have a rounder and sleeker topline while having reduced visual offset, meaning the club looks like it has less offset than it really does — a look preferred by many players.
Like the King Tec models, the King Tec-X models are also built around the forged PWRSHELL face insert with H.O.T Face Variable Thickness Geometry, but the King Tec-X features softer and lighter foam microspheres in the hollow clubhead to enhance feel.
