MEMBER REVIEWS: Cobra King Tour Irons with MIM Technology! See What Members Are Saying!

[knudson81]

 

We have members testing out the new Cobra King Tour irons with MIM technology and are ready to report back their findings. The members testing the irons are...

Please feel free to ask any of these members questions you might have on how these irons are out on the course! We also want to give a big THANK YOU to Cobra for putting on this testing event!

[GeauxGolfLSU]

Really curious about these. They look gorgeous. I just got a set of TM P-770s, but am wondering if these King Tours might be even better.

[CallawayOffCenter]

super curious to see how the MIM stacks up against the T100's. 

[hartrick11]

I am curious about T100 comparisons too since they seem like the closest comp. If any of the testers have Cobra experience it would also be helpful to compare vs. the previous Forged Tours and/or the still current CBs from the King Forged CB/MB blended set. I'm searching for something a little bit more forgiving than my CBs with my next set.

Pics taken, final round before my write up tomorrow afternoon.  

[QuigleyDU]

Looking forward to the feedback..

From my personal experience the MIM's have less offset and a slightly smaller top line. The MIMs are slightly less forgiving because of this. As far as feel/sound goes, everyone is going to interpret that differently. I am currently gaming Miura TC201/MB101 so I'm on the super soft side of the spectrum. The MIM are great feeling irons, but don't offer that same "squishy" sort of feeling a good forged iron can produce. However, I wouldn't hold that against the MIMs. They are phenomenal in my opinion. I think they nailed the looks. I like the profile a lot. The T100 are a good iron as well, but in my eye, they have just a little too much offset and I'm not a huge fan of the way the top line goes into the hosel. These are just my opinions though. My golfers have had great results with the MIM. Truly a great iron. Unfortunately, I think a lot of golfers will not give them a shot because they don't say forged on them and because of Rick Shiels review. I would have zero issues gaming them. Cobra is bringing a great line in 2021.

Hey everyone! I was luckily chosen and ordered 4-GW with KBS $ Taper 120 Black. Big thank you to @GolfWRX and @COBRA PUMA GOLF for putting this on and to @knudson81 for coordinating the behind the scenes details. I am a 4 handicap, 8 iron 145-150yds kind of guy. You will typically catch me walking on the weekends at Torrey Pines or Balboa in San Diego, CA. I actually currently play the Cobra F9 driver and SpeedZone hybrid and have played the Cobra PUR wedges till they wore out. I am very familiar with Cobra and enjoy there innovative offerings. 

 

When I found out I was chosen I immediately went to the local store tested out a bunch of shafts and it was between modus 120 and $ Taper. I chose $ Taper due to it being an in stock option. I ordered 2 flat and was pleasantly surprised to see a 2F sticker on every club which I thought was an excellent touch. I like the attention to detail and the reassurance my specs were followed. Ive read some other manufacturer builds were all over the place but I had these checked and everything was spot on. I ordered mine without the Accros and without came in similar length to Titleist T100 or TaylorMade P770 stock lengths.

 

Looks:

My current irons were the iconic Bridgestone J15cb, I recently did post how I found a minty set and how I fell in love again. Those were and still are one of the best irons ever made in my opinion. The few things I did not like about them were the blade length and the ultra wide soles. One of the reasons I was super excited about the MIM Tour irons were the size. To me they are just right from a blade length perspective, not too small like the Cobra King CB or not too long like the Bridgestone J15cb. They sit somewhere in the middle which is just right for me. Also the top line is nice and thin and the soles are much slimmer than the J15cb. Offset is also huge for me I cannot stand looking down at a lot of offset and these look perfect!! Check, Check, Check, Check! The J15cb do edge them out in the cavity looks. I prefer a clean look and the MIM tour is just too busy. I would prefer a subtle Cobra logo vs a gigantic KING, some satin or black finish and I would be super happy. They still look great in the bag though!!

 

Feel:

Feel is very important to me. As much as I wanted to love the new Taylormade P770's the sound and feel were a deal killer for me. Clicky and hard. No thanks!! The reason I mention that is because these MIM Tour irons are often in head to head comparisons. I did post also recently how I went in for the new Callaway X Forged CB's and tried these on a whim and these blew them out of the water in sound and feel as well. I honestly can't believe these are not forged. They sure sound and feel like they are. So I guess if I can get the cast durability and forged feel. Why not right? 

 

Performance:

When it all comes down to it, the irons need to perform. My first round was at Balboa which is target golf. Solid iron play and precision is rewarded. The one thing I really took away from these irons was the dispersion was unreal. I hit a ton of greens and I felt really comfortable from the get go. Balboa is not a long course so short and mid irons got a work out and they performed admirably. My distances were on par with my norms maybe a touch longer. If you are looking for the longest irons these aren't the direction. If you want consistent distances with slight gain and no crazy flyers yet better dispersion look this way. I did a hit a few long irons and noticed they were very comfortable to hit and forgiving probably due to the tungsten in the toe. Again not to be a broken record but the dispersion again was the star. I also think they are a great pairing with KBS $ Taper. Another interesting thing I noticed was an increase in spin. I had quite a few that spun back more than usual so I was very happy to see that. If I can get more spin but similar or more carry distance that is a win win. 

 

I have two rounds scheduled for this weekend and will be putting the long irons more into play so I will report back on rounds 2/3. Before I was ever even chosen for this you can look back and already see my organic interest in these irons and I was impressed early with just demoing the 6 iron. Overall, so far so good!! If you are looking at Taylormade P770, Callaway X Forged/Apex Pro, Titleist T100, Srixon ZX7 you really need to try these out!! These were so good I already sold my Bridgestone J15cb's after one round!! I can see the potential in these and they check so many boxes. More testing this weekend but feel free to ask me any questions. 

 

Enjoy some of the pics I took.

Oh and here are address pics of the 4 iron (yellow snell ball) and PW ( white Srixon ball). Absolutely perfect to me eye, very nice shaping!!

[Mr. Grumpy]

Great looking irons and looking forward to reading the reviews. I am a one length player, but these certainly grab attention and hopefully if the MIM tech is legit it will filter its way into the One series. That said it looks like 3D may steal that show..

[rsh0308]

Looking forward to these reviews!

Have owned all the players forged line from Amp Forged through King Forged Tour. I imagine these will only be better.
Only considering these vs ZX7 for next year... gimme ammo. 

[jml4]

Great write up @mtex22. Excited to read the other reviews, and see how they play after a few rounds. 

[Drewhill44]

@mtex22...Nice to here your comparison to the Bridgestone J15cb’s.  I’ve had my J15cb’s for 3 years going on 4 and they’ve been my favorite irons to date.  Not planning on changing since my irons are still in really good shape, but the Cobra MIM Tour’s are intriguing.  Seeing in your review that you experienced better dispersion with the Cobra’s is nice to hear.  Thanks for the write up.  Looking forward to hear about your rounds 2&3.  

[Masse1369]

I'm probably 10 rounds in with mine.  Still the best irons I have ever played.  Feel great, look great and are very forgiving for the profile. They are a little longer heel to toe than some other models in this range but that doesn't bother me and actually prefer it.  I have found every Miura iron I have ever hit to be very firm feeling.  I've played 501, 5005, 101 and some others.  To me the MIM feel better.  I was a Master Fitter for PXG too and have had probably 100 sets of irons in my lifetime.  These are my favorite.

Wow, that says a lot. Damnit I'm so sad they didn't release these in a single-length set. Would have absolutely loved to give them a shot. Wonder how they'd combo with my blueprints. How do you find the long irons to play? Good height/spin?

I hit the ball medium to high so no issues whatsoever for me. Very playable. I hope they make a one length version. I want to give it a go in 3H, 4-9 @ 37.5” and 45-60 @ 35.5” for my Cleveland’s. 

I’ve played blades for 20 years of my life and the blueprints are tiny and didn’t care for the way they felt. Go all in. 😉

That's great! A lot of my golfers love the MIMs and they are a killer iron for sure. Like I mentioned, we are all going to interpret sound/feel differently. I prefer the feel of my Miura over the MIM, but I don't want that to take anything away from the MIMs. It shouldn't mean anything other than that's my personal preference.

INTRO:

Hey guys!  I was very excited to be picked to be a part of the demo’ing process of the King Tour irons .  I’m a 46 years old dentist in Greenville, SC.  I’m , very tall, 6’7” to be precise, and have a very specific set of specs designed for an aging big guy.  I play golf weekly at the Greenville Country Club, which features two courses, Chanticleer and Riverside.  Chanticleer is a very demanding course, while Riverside is a more member friendly design.  I was a +1 for about 5 years until the birth of my first child.  Long story short, being a husband, father, and dentist have taken priority over golf, and my handicap has risen to a 3.  I hardly ever practice, and hitting balls usually only happens 30-45 minutes before my weekly round.  I have been gaming the P7TW 4-PW for the last 2 years, and while I still love them, they require a certain amount of skill that I don’thave anymore.  I don’t see myself putting in the time while my girls are young, so I started my search for a similar looking iron with added forgiveness. I ordered 4-PW with KBS TOUR 105 stiff shafts 1.5” longer, with Golf Pride Tour Velvet .580 round with 3

wraps. 

 

LOOKS:

My irons came in about 2 weeks after giving knudson my custom order.  I was very surprised to see them sitting on my doorstep so soon.  Opening up the box was my first in-person look at the irons.  I had seen online pics, but we all know clubs looks different in hand.  All lengths were dead on, loft and lie were perfect, but the swing weights were a little heavy.  This is something that has happened to me numerous times because of the increased length, so this was no deal-breaker.   Cobra really got it right with these irons.  Pictures online made the cavity look a little busy, but they look very clean in person. They did a great job with offset and the look at address. Very little to no offset in all the irons,  but with a slightly longer heel to toe length in the longer irons to add confidence.  Side by side with my P7TW, they actually appear to have similar offset in the long irons, and less in the short irons. They have a slightly thicker top line, are a little more rounded in the toe, have amuch thicker sole, but still looked like a player’s iron. 
Also, the tungsten weight is present out on the toe on the 4-7 irons for added forgiveness.  At address, they really remind me of the Titleist Ap2, but with less offset.  .  

 

PERFORMANCE AND FEEL(RANGE):

    It was unfortunately pouring rain the day my irons arrived, so I had to wait until the next morning for some range time.  I was literally the only one at the range because of college football Saturday.  Weather was 50 degrees and sunny. I have watched all the YouTube reviews by Shiels, Crossfield, etc… and all of them loved the soft feel except for Rick Shiels. I was eager to see if the MIM technology was as soft as advertised. First impression outdoors was that the irons looked stunning.  I really like the chrome against the black.  I started with my normal routine and worked my way from pitches and chips with a wedge, all the way up to full 4 iron shots. I wouldn’t say the feel is like a forged club, but not a cast either.  It was definitely soft and pleasing.  Almost feels like the ball sticks on the face for a bit longer. Big fan of the feel, and totally disagree with Shiels. After playing blades for a while, these irons were not intimidating to hit. Most shots were in my normal window or slightly higher, and I believe they were going slightly longer than my normal P7TW.  Like most golfers, I feel like I can really hit almost any irons in the 8-PW, but the King Tours 6-PW were much easier to hit than my blades. Of course I had some bad contact and swings, but the ball was still flying a good way.  The long irons is where I saw the most improvement.  They were flying higher than my normal window and straighter than my usual ballflight. The thicker sole seems to cut through turf well and I know it helped with the added forgiveness over my current irons. I also found them pretty easy to flight shots, although I wasn’t able to draw or fade shots as readily.  The higher swingweights only seemed to be an issue after pounding balls for 45 minutes.  If anything, I felt myself taking deeper divots, and got very little thin shots.  All in all, I had a really good range session for the first time hitting these irons.  

    

 

PERFORMANCE (COURSE):

Fast forward about  a week to yesterday’s round.  Was playing at Chanticleer around noon and had minimal time to warm up before the round.  Again It was in the 50s, and sunny.  Not bad for a mid December morning.  

Warmed up very quickly and hit it pretty solid.  Some of my buddies hit the 7 iron and commented on how good they looked. First hole was a 430 yd Par 4 into a one club wind.  Hit a solid drive leaving myself 167 into the pin.  We felt it was playing about 180 bc of the wind and the temperature, so I was right at the max of my 6 iron.  Decided to hit a chocked up 5 iron just to make sure I got it there.  Proceeded to flush it over the green for a crowd-pleasing opening bogey.  Long irons are just so easy to hit, with a mid-high trajectory for me, and very little turn. I don’t know how many times I have showed up with 5 minutes to spare, have hit some putts, driven into the first fairway, only to hit a horrible first iron shot short or bladed.  Honestly, I was excited that I hit it so solid, and wasn’t upset at the bogey. Next hole was a downhill  140 yard Par 3, which I would normally hit a 43* P7TW 9 iron in the winter. I decided to hit the 45* King PW and hit a mid trajectory shot, pin high, about 20 feet right.  I’m not going to go through the whole round, but the irons really gave me a ton of confidence. I really got used to playing them quickly and by the end of the round, I felt like I’d been playing them for a while.  Had a couple of bad swings and a really badly fatted wedge, but managed to stay in the mid 70s. For instance, I killed a drive on the par 5  17th, but had 185 into the hole from a severe upsloped lie. I hit a nice, slightly drawing 5iron just past the pin for an eagle. Of course I missed it, but I don’t know if I would have had the confidence to hit the P7TW from that lie.  I am a big fan.  

 

SUMMARY:

I think Cobra has been flying under the radar for a while but have always made quality products.  With the addition of Bryson and his huge weight, strength, and driving distance gains, they will hopefully gain even more popularity.  I’m seeing more ads and I hope they get more play from consumers, because I personally found these irons to be legit.  I can see my handicapgoing lower just from the ability to hit the ball more solid. I feel like these are still an iron designed for a single to low double digit handicapper, because they do require a lot of skill to hit the center of the clubface, and the lack of offset may be intimidating to some.  But I think the MIM technology works great for feel, and the looks are stunning. Let’s be honest, looks is what attracts you first to a set of irons.  If you hate the way it looks and the way it sets up to the club, the odds are you aren’t going to game them. These irons make me more curious about the MIM wedges and that will be the next thing I check out and demo.  I would again like to thank Golfwrx and Cobra Golf for making this happen, and knudson for helping with all the details and keeping great communication.  If anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me or ask on this thread.  And if I’ve left anything out, I will be happy to add more details that I may have forgotten.I will post more as I play more rounds to update my progress.  Thanks again.

Redid the review to organize

[Stanks]

@csiachosThat was one of the hardest reviews to read. Glad you were picked but man, maybe a little organization there. 

@mtex22Good to see a San Diegan get picked to review. Balboa is a good spot to test any irons as well. Looking forward to a follow up. 

[hartrick11]

I finally got a chance to hit the 7 iron at the range yesterday. I will preface by saying I have been a big Cobra fan for a while and given the looks, potential additional forgiveness compared to my King Forged CBs, and my comfort with their prior lines of irons (I love these CBs, and the Forged Tours also feel amazing), these MIMs seem right up my alley.

 

Looks-wise I really like what they have built. The at-address pics as shown above look amazing to me; slightly longer heel to toe than my King Forged CBs, with a slightly bigger but still small topline, and less offset (at least visually to me) than the T100s; I would have no issue transitioning from my smaller CBs to these for some additional forgiveness. The cavity is a little bit busy for my taste, but not a big deal. 

 

For some reason Cobra only gave the Golfmart 1 stiff (stock $taper 120, which was in-use) and 1 X-stiff (Modus 120) shaft for people to try. Not a huge deal, but this is at one of the highest traffic golf stores in the country (Del Mar, CA with an adjacent grass driving range that gets heavy use year-round), so it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity there relative to the other big 5 companies that offer several shaft options to this particular store. 

 

I tried it with the Modus 120 X since it was my only option. I hit probably 25 shots with it, alternating between it and my CB 7 iron (which has $ taper 130). The MIM performed, hitting all the right numbers for me, and did seem to offer a bit more forgiveness out toward the toe given the extra blade length. Feel-wise I was disappointed, though. It wasn't even close to my CBs, and for that matter the T100s which I tried a few weeks back. I had quite a few shots where I felt like I hit it well, hit the right numbers carry & ball speed wise, but the strike still felt kind of harsh; not bad, but definitely not aligned with the Cobra marketing claims. Maybe I was just consistently missing the sweet spot toe-side because of the longer blade length and they are just much more forgiving than my CBs? If I had only hit like 5 shots I could definitely believe that, but I hit over 20 including a few that really felt like good swings and gave me all my right numbers, so I'm skeptical. These are out of the running for me.

Wait....you're saying that Rick Sheils can actually influence golf club sales?   

That's hilarious.  You know who influences my club purchases? Nobody but me.

I think Rick Shiels, Mark Crossfield, and all the YouTube reviewers do help sales.  Especially if you can't get your hands on clubs prior to buying.  Why do you think OEMs are sending them free sets to demo and review?  Why did Cobra do this with us?  Each to their own.  I watch their videos to see what they have to say, but I would never buy a product based solely on their comments.

Absolutely. Most of the major YouTube golf channels will and do influence sales. Watch WTB ads after TXG does a shaft/club review. You'll instantly see dozens of WTB's for the things they try. How much does Rick Shield influence, that's another question and one I can't answer.

He obviously influences sales. Or these companies would not send him pre embargo stuff to try. Saying he does not influence sales is just silly. We can disagree to what extent he influences but there is at least some sway.

Round 2/3 Update: 

 

Getting really grooved with the irons. I know I spoke of dispersion the first time, well that continued but I am also starting to see some solid distance. Normal swings get me where I need to be. I used the long irons quite a bit and easily getting the distances I am used to but really getting more stopping power. I used to play Modus 105 and they were great shafts but man they were too low spin I was not getting the ball to stop. This combo of MIM Tour with $ Taper 120 gets me the same carry distances but the ball is staying close to where it lands. I am absolutely loving the increased spin!! The greens in San Diego at least where I play are really fast right now so I am really noticing a difference in spin. I took a pic of a nice struck 7 iron from 162 normally that would bounce to the middle back but it stayed very close to the pin.

 

I used the 5 iron quite a bit and really had some high solid shots with a strong ball flight, my confidence is really growing with the long irons already there 7 iron down! Oh and the gap wedge is a weapon for me, from the first swing with it just dialed in. Overall the distances are very consistent with no weird hot random flyers, it's what you want in your irons!! Predictability. The blade length is just perfect to my eye on all clubs! Just right.

 

I don't even need to mention the feel every well struck shot feels incredible!! I don't like loud, clicky or harder feeling and it is none of that. It's soft but not mushy if that makes sense. It does feel different when you do not hit the center so you do get that instant feedback which is very important to me. 

 

Check these out before you make a decision folks!!

Huge thank you to Cobra! I was ecstatic to be chosen! These clubs arrived last week for me but I had to be out of town so I will be touching these beauties today or tomorrow and giving my initial reactions! 

[csiachos]

I am supposed to play at the beach this weekend, so I'll hopefully be giving another playing review sometime early next week.

Maybe I was just consistently missing the sweet spot toe-side because of the longer blade length and they are just much more forgiving than my CBs? If I had only hit like 5 shots I could definitely believe that, but I hit over 20 including a few that really felt like good swings and gave me all my right numbers, so I'm skeptical. These are out of the running for me.

 

 

do you think the feel could have been related to the shaft? you don't have X in your CBs right? feel is so subjective, just interested in your experience compared to everyone else you says they feel good. I play the same irons as you and am considering these or the new MB/CB when it comes next year
