Cobra launches new King and King Max irons

Published

on

Cobra Golf has today introduced the new King and King Max irons.

Both new models feature innovative technologies including a 3D-printed medallion, catapult weighting, 360 SpeedShell face insert and an updated Skid Sole design. 

The King and King Max irons employ advanced 3D-printing technology found in Cobra’s  3DP lineup to optimize weight savings for improved mass properties. A lightweight medallion is 3D-printed with intricate latticing to optimize weight positioning in the clubhead.

The resulting 2mm-lower CG is designed to yield notable performance improvements including a higher launch angle and steeper descent angle to enhance playability and scoring potential.

“We are huge believers in 3D-printed technology. Using 3DP to reposition the CG of the new King and King Max irons perfectly illustrates our dedication to continuing innovation and makes them our most advanced max-game improvement irons to date.” – Jose Miraflor, VP of Product Architecture and Consumer Connections at Cobra Puma Golf

The multi-piece construction of the new King and King Max irons is designed to create the perfect harmony of speed, launch and feel. Featuring a 360 SpeedShell face insert, which per Cobra produced 23 percent more face flex, paired with an 80g catapult weight (15g heavier than in the DS-ADAPT model) suspended in a shock-absorbing polymer material.

The combination is in design to provide players with more consistent speed and distance across the face with improved sound and feel on every strike.

The final major technical feature of the new King and King Max irons is a new Skid Sole design, which features a pre-worn leading edge with added bounce and a flatter mid-sole area that allows the clubhead to sit a bit closer to the ground and effectively helps further lower the CG location.

Derived from the storied Skid Sole wedge design made famous by Phil Rodgers, the new Skid Sole is designed to improve contact, launch, and ball speed and trajectory for the full spectrum of swing types.

The King and King Max models feature subtle differences in shaping and spec tailored to specific player needs. The standard King model is aimed towards faster players in the 10-20 handicap range looking for an iron that delivers maximum speed and forgiveness.

The Max model features a slightly larger profile, enhanced offset and 2-degree weaker lofts, which make it advantageous for players seeking high launch, draw-bias and slightly more heel/toe stability on off-center hits.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
