The Radspeed irons accomplish this by using heel-toe weighting in which a 10-gram screw is placed in the toe and three grams are added to the heel to create a low center of gravity for better launch despite the clubs’ strong lofts. The lofts are strong (27.5), but our Iron Test data has the model down as being capable of launching, peaking out. As with all golf club designs, the ability to place weight where you need it is key. If your game needs the forgiveness and power of a mid-handicap iron, but your fancy isn’t tickled by going forged, the RAD Speed are a very solid choice in 2021. The process, first used in the company’s Speedzone irons, also removes two grams of weight from the topline in the 4- through 7-iron. To save weight that’s redistributed elsewhere, Cobra uses a unique engineering process in which weight is removed from the topline, leaving a channel, and replacing the removed material with all-black carbon-fiber strips to create the appearance of a thinner topline. Forged from 17-4 stainless steel, the variable-thickness face features a deep undercut channel on the inside to generate more rebound and height. Cobra delivers on all counts starting with its clubface design.

Less flashy but no less impressive are the guts of the club to help golfers get the distance, shot height and feel they want. They also earned props for adding pop to slower swings.The use of 3-D printing to make the cavity badge is super cool. We tested them out with the help of Rick Hatfield, head. Cobra’s King Air-X hybrids drew praise in our testing for their forgiveness and soft feel. Revolutionary new weightings helps the Cobra King RAD Irons take golf club technology to new levels. Our take: There’s no such thing as being too easy to hit. Increased adjustability comes from three weights that can be positioned in the toe, heel or in a neutral location to encourage the desired ball flight. Central to its design what the company calls a PWRShell face, a stainless-steel L-cup that wraps under the leading edge to ramp up ball speed and launch across the face.

Though they cut the profile of a traditional hybrid, Cobra’s King Tec line boasts the kind of technology and adjustability more often found in drivers and fairway woods. PWRSHELL Technology, a lightweight carbon crown and an adjustable weighting system delivers high launch and powerful ball speed. The KING TEC Hybrid features advanced technologies to create a hybrid that fits within the better player category. “If I went to a fitting and got a bag of Cobra’s, I’d be pleasantly surprised.” “And when you don’t, it feels forgiving.” Another tester noted the same “pop off the face” that they had experienced with King Tec irons. “Really jumps right from the start when you catch it,” one Golf tester said. Cobra’s King Tec hybrids impressed with their performance on imperfect strikes.

Our take: Most clubs work well when you catch them flush. Which speaking of the face, the PWRSHELL face cup design adds more flex to promote a higher ballflight. Face Tech that includes 15 zones of varying thicknesses for faster ballspeeds across more surface area on the clubface. When browsing second-hand Cobra irons, youll come across something called Cobra Connect. Like the drivers and woods in the same LTDx family, it also comes with H.O.T. Cobra KING Forged Black CB 2019 Iron Set. The details: Comes with tech once reserved for woods and drivers, including PWR-COR internal weighting placed low and towards the front for reduced spin and a faster ballspeed. The LTDx Hybrid is designed for pure distance, high launch, and straight ball flights.
