Cobra reveal King Wedges

Published:

The King’s are designed to improve feel and performance on the shots that really count say Cobra. So what’s new? Well there’s a new muscle shape, a progressive groove design, variable face roughness and three sole grind configurations, to provide golfers with superior feel, increased spin consistency and personalisation for different swing types.

“We’ve worked on these new wedges for nearly two years” said Jose Miraflor, Director of Product Marketing at Cobra Golf. “Our engineers collaborated with Rickie Fowler, Jonas Blixt and Lexi Thompson, and conducted extensive research and testing on the King wedges. Through that we’ve greatly improved feel and versatility, giving golfers the confidence to hit a variety of shots around the green.”

One of the most important attributes of a wedge is feel and Cobra engineers used modal analysis to help tune vibrational frequencies (or shape) to deliver the softest feeling wedge to date. The King wedges are designed and manufactured using new Progressive Milled Grooves which feature wider grooves and gapping on higher lofted wedges, and traditional groove spacing on lower lofted wedges. The wider groove design allows higher lofted wedges (56-60deg) to grab the golf ball imparting increased spin, and making spin more consistent throughout the wedge set. The new grooves are combined with Variable Face Roughness (VFR), a face milling technology that maximises both RA (average roughness) and RY (max peak to peak depth) to the USGA limit.

To provide the ultimate wedge customisation and performance, the King wedges feature three sole grind configurations to provide golfers with the ability to choose the perfect wedge to match their game and turf conditions.

Each unique sole grind has its own set of advantages:
