Cobra Golf has announced the launch of its new King and King-X wedges. King wedges utilize metal injection molding (MIM), flight window technology (FWT) and progressive spin technology to ensure precise production, optimized ball flight and exceptional control, according to a press release.
The MIM process allows for tighter manufacturing tolerances, resulting in a softer feel and greater precision in operation. Flight Window technology adjusts the center of gravity (CG) based on loft – low for lower lofts, medium for medium lofts, and high for higher lofts – to ensure optimal trajectories and rotational control. Progressive Spin technology precisely adjusts loft groove designs, improving spin for a variety of shots.
Chad DeHart, senior product line manager at Cobra Golf, highlighted the innovation behind the new wedges, stating:
“Achieving optimal spin and trajectory control on wedge shots is key to scoring goals. MIM technology helps us produce wedges to tighter tolerances for exceptional consistency, while FWT allows for optimal center of gravity location across the entire loft range. Together, these two technologies, combined with new grinding options, give golfers the ultimate in versatility in our most advanced wedges yet.
The King also features a redesigned Speed ​​Notch in the outsole – 67 percent larger than previous models – for improved interaction with the surface and a cleaner contact. Four grind options (DROP, WIDELOW, VERSATILE and TOUR) allow players to choose the appropriate sole configuration for their playing style and course conditions.
Additionally, King-X wedges improve your game with a forgiving dimpled back design, a TPU insert for improved feel, and a deep cut for circumferential balance to improve stability on off-center shots.
