Cobra King Forged Tec irons review and photos: ClubTest 2020

Cobra King Forged Tec irons.

For the second installment of ClubTest 2020, we tested and reviewed 57 new iron models to help you find the right one for your game. Below are the results for the Cobra King Forged Tec irons. You can find the full list of irons and test results here.

Price: $1,100/7 irons | $157
Clubs: 4-PW
Our take: With nearly every major manufacturer now boasting a hollow-construction product featuring a material of some sort inside the cavity, Cobra became the latest to join the party with King Forged Tec in 2019. Designing the iron on a muscleback platform keeps the attention of better players while allowing mid-handicappers to reap the benefits of a forged PWRShell face and tungsten toe weights that expand the sweet spot and ramp up distance. The hollow cavity of the long and mid irons is infused with foam microspheres to fine-tune sound and soften feel at impact—a combo everyone from Rickie Fowler to your club champion will embrace. In addition to a traditional-length version, Forged Tec also comes in a One Length model, with each iron built at standard 7-iron length (37.5 inches), if you’re feeling adventurous.
Cobra’s latest creation is a certified showstopper. With one of the fastest ball speeds recorded on the robot, King Forged Tec produced a carry that was five yards longer than the average for all clubs tested in the category. For fast swing speeds in search of more distance, this is a legitimate contender.
ClubTester’s take (17-hdcp): “Really strong trajectory. Feel is second to none, which is what impressed me the most.”
Robot’s take: A leader in ball speed retention, low spin and carry distance.

Cobra King Forged Tec Irons

Classic looks merged with modern technology create a blend of distance and playability in a compact muscle back shape preferred by better players. The KING Forged Tec irons were forged for speed. For the first time in Cobra’s player’s iron, a forged PWRSHELL face expands the sweet zone for higher launch and faster ball speed in a compact shape.
