Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Review

Cobra is in an interesting position in golf right now. It's producing consistently good golf clubs, that produce good numbers at what seem like very fair prices... by modern day standards anyway. With the Speedzone drivers it has something pretty special too given the headlines they are making in the hands of a certain Mr Bryson DeChambeau and the staggering lengths he is hitting golf balls using one, regardless of it's shaft length.

Given the position Cobra is in, to really take it to the next level I believe they need to start producing some great sets of irons too, and doing so consistently year on year. By that I mean stepping up their better player offerings to improve their reputation in this area. Better feeling, better looking, higher performing, solid irons that last and that good ball strikers can get excited about.

Has Cobra Golf made a step in this direction with the new Cobra King Tour irons thanks to MIM technology? Time to find out...

What's It All About?

I first heard about Cobra's new all-singing, all-dancing MIM technology early last year with the King wedge line-up for 2019 but haven't had the chance to put it to the test until now, and to be honest I'm glad I waited until I could do so in a set of irons as opposed to just a wedge. These new Cobra King Tour irons for 2020/21 are what I've been waiting for.

The big story here is that the King Tour irons are neither forged or cast, unlike all of the other 'similar' irons they are going up against. When I say similar, I mean other better player cavity back irons like: Ping i210s , TaylorMade P7MCs , Titleist T100s and the new Mizuno JPX921 Forged .

Cobra is claiming they have developed a new innovative way of producing irons using MIM technology which stands for 'Metal Injection Molding'. It is said to produce a more precise product which requires fewer steps and less hands-on contact to finalise, leading to more consistent results.

Each iron head is created using a mixture of 304 stainless steel metal powder, which is heated and injected into a mould. The metal is heated to a higher temperature than with forged irons (1340° vs 1200°) and this is said to strengthen the grain structure for a higher level of precision and soft feel similar to that of a carbon steel forging. Taking all of this into account, Cobra claims to have created "a better feel than any forged offering on the market."

Big claim Cobra, big claim. My usual question when I hear about manufacturers using new innovations to create better products than the biggest selling club manufacturers, and the best proven ways to create golf clubs for decades, is why isn't every manufacturer doing it like this if it were the case? Throughout my test, I gave Cobra the benefit of the doubt.

What Cobra Say...

"We've used our MIM process over the past two years to deliver softer and more precisely-shaped designs in our wedges. Now, in response to demand from better players and our Tour staffers, seeking the same benefits in a full set of irons, our R&D team delivered the King Tour irons."

"These irons are softer than any forged offerings on the market, and like their wedge counterparts, offer better consistency in shaping for more precision shot-making on the course."

Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for Cobra Golf.

I tested these irons in three different scenarios: hitting around 10-15 balls with each iron (5, 7, 9) on the practice range (off a mat), hitting a number of 7 irons on a FSX simulator to analyse the ball data before heading out to play 12 holes at Denton GC in wet and wintery conditions - preferred lies please!

I was mainly looking at the feel of these irons from different lies including fairway, off a mat and in the rough to see how they stacked up to my current forged Ping i210 irons.

In my opinion, the Cobra King Tour irons are some of the best looking irons I have ever seen. Hopefully the pictures I have taken for this review do them justice, they really do look brilliant from every angle. At first I thought the cavity looked a little more 'game-improvement' than 'better-player' but as I took a closer look my opinion changed.

They combine classic 'better-player' shaping with a contemporary design in the cavity to give them some serious shelf and 'in bag' appeal. Rock up to the course with these beauties and you're going to be turning heads - no doubt.

Every detail has been crafted with real attention to detail which I love, the heads have been hand polished to produce a beautiful satin finish that really stands out. The shaping and finish reminds me a little of the Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 irons that came out a few years back, there is definitely a classic Wilson iron feel going on here. I think that Cobra has taken a few leaves out of Wilson Staff's book in the iron aesthetics department with the King Tour irons and given their major history in this department, it may serve them pretty well.

Down at the ball, the good looks continued as the King Tour irons kept on ticking boxes. From the first shot to the last during my test I felt they really focused my eye in on the back of the ball, forcing me to concentrate that little bit more. I wanted to hit these irons well, and I think the looks at address played a massive part in making sure I did this.

If I was rating these irons solely on looks, I'd give them a strong 9 and I can imagine a lot of golfers agreeing with me. They look exactly how a better players iron in 2020 should look like.

As with most 'better player' irons, this is the most important section of the review and given Cobra's huge claims with these irons, this section is more important than ever. Does the MIM technology really feel better than some of the best forged irons out there? Well, to be honest it depends what you categorise 'great feel' in an iron to be. I think each golfer will have a slightly different take on this.

From the first 9 iron I hit on the range with King Tour irons, I was impressed with most characteristics of King Tour irons. How did they feel off the face at impact? I have to say they felt good. Did they feel any better than the Ping i210 irons though? It wouldn't say so to be honest.

They certainly felt a little different however and this is what I mean, some golfers may find this difference as better, I didn't. It's all down to personal preference. They felt firmer and potentially a little more solid and dare I say it harder off the face when striking the ball. But personally when it comes to feel alone, I couldn't confirm that the King Tour irons are 'better feeling' because of the MIM technology.

One other area of technology that I felt did impress me however was the TPU insert in the cavity. This is a thermoplastic polyurethane insert positioned behind the sweet spot which really is nothing new in golf clubs, most better players performance irons these days have these placed in the insert to again help improve feel. The TPU insert did just that, and as I say I did enjoy the feel of the irons.

Performance

From the three different testing conditions I reviewed these irons in, I have to say performance-wise they were great. I was very impressed with how each club performed when I found the middle of the face and on off-centre strikes.

Forgiveness-wise, there was plenty, which I surprised about, and again I put that down to a couple of things. Firstly the TPU insert just helps to dampen the blow of an off-centre strike and still gives you good feedback and decent results.

Secondly, each iron in this set features tungsten weighting in the toe which is to help position the centre of gravity better behind the sweet spot - not only to help these irons feel great but to add more stability to the head through impact.

Regardless of the great looks and good feel, this is where I felt the Cobra King Tour irons excelled - stability through the strike. On the range I thought the consistency of ball flight and direction was excellent with these irons. I felt like I knew where the ball was going before I had even hit it - which any golfer will know is always a good sign. You have to have confidence in your golf equipment.

During my indoor testing I hit a couple of errant shots that still performed well and didn't fall off a cliff data-wise, showing that there is still plenty of forgiveness in these heads. Similarly on the course, one of my bad shots is to catch the ball thin and low on the clubface, I did this on occasion during this review and felt the ball flight and performance was still impressive.

I was impressed by the ball flight overall in fairness, I tend to hit the ball very hit due my attack angle, so to see the ball flight with these irons not being too high was again a positive for me.

Finally, looking at the distances, it's clear that when swinging fairly moderately during indoor testing, the carry distances are pretty impressive too. An average carry distance of 167.8 yards with a 7 irons is slightly above where I would expect a 7 iron to go - usually I'm around the 163-164 yards mark. These irons are clearly hot off the face too and pack a serious punch.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Verdict

I think Cobra have created a great set of irons here. They perform well in all departments, look great, and have a element of uniqueness about them that I like too.

My only reservation with these irons and the reason I won't be giving them five stars is because I don't believe they feel better than forged irons. They feel good, solid, and still pretty soft across the face but still not like a forged iron to me, and that is what Cobra is directly claiming.

Would I Use Them?

Yes I would, I really enjoyed testing these irons and hit some great shots in to greens doing so, I felt they had a great deal of accuracy and that is ultimately what you want from a players iron.

I think if you choose to add these irons to your testing list then no doubt will you be impressed by the looks and performance. Cobra are certainly moving in the right direction here and at £999 for 4-PW that's expensive, but still pretty competitive in today's better player iron market.

• Brilliant modern looks
• Stable through the hitting zone
• Soft-ish feeling
• Forgiving on off-centre hits for a players iron
• Hot off the face giving good carry numbers
• Cobra Connect by Arccos in smart grip to help better analyse data
• Don't quite live up to Cobra's claims
• Better players will probably stick to forged irons as it's what they know and love.

What we say...

The new cobra king tour irons use the metal injected molding (mim) technology found in the brand’s wedges to create a soft-feeling, precisely-shaped players’ irons that deliver unmatched consistency through the set..

Cobra say they have created an iron that is “softer than any of the forged offerings on the market” by using their MIM technology in the new King Tour irons.

RELATED:  Cobra King TEC Hybrid

After two years of using the tech to create softer, more precise heads in their King MIM wedges, Cobra Golf have launched the King Tour irons with MIM Technology, a process which they claim creates unmatched consistency throughout the set.

The new players’ irons combine a tour cavity back with precise shaping and the incredibly soft feel that better players desire. This is the first time Cobra have applied the Metal Injected Molding technology to a full set of irons and they say it has reinvented the way premium irons are designed and manufactured.

RELATED:  Tested: Best Forged Irons

What is Molten Injection Moulding (MIM) Technology?

Each iron head is created using a mixture of 304 stainless steel metal powder, which is then heated and injected into a mould.

During the sintering process, the metal is heated to a higher temperature than forgings (1340°C vs. 1200°C), resulting in a tighter-aligned grain structure that delivers the highest level of precision and soft feel, rivalling that of carbon steel forgings.

The final step is hand-polishing to deliver the perfect satin finish. While many forgings require moderate polishing to remove excess materials, MIM technology requires only subtle polishing to ensure the shape is consistent from set to set.

What other tech is found in the Cobra King Tour Irons?

A tungsten weight in the toe helps to position the centre of gravity behind the hitting zone to aid forgiveness and stability at impact to help keep the ball on target.

There’s also a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) insert behind the hitting zone to help dampen vibrations and create that soft, buttery feel you expect from a players’ iron at impact.

Each iron also benefits from Cobra Connect technology. Powered by Arccos, smart grips on each iron can be synced with the Arccos Caddie app, allowing you to track your shot data and rapidly improve your game.

Each set of irons includes a 90-day free trial of the Arccos Caddie app.

What lofts are available for the Cobra King Tour Irons?

The irons are available in a 4-PW set in right hand only. A 3-iron and gap wedge are available via a custom-fitting order.

With the irons being aimed at better players, the lofts aren’t overly strong. The the 3-iron is 20º, 4-iron 23º, 5-iron 26º, 6-iron 29º, 7-iron 33º, 8-iron 37º, 9-iron 41º, pitching wedge 45º and gap wedge 50º.

What are the Cobra King Tour Irons shaft and grip options?

The irons come with stiff or regular flex steel KBS $-Taper 120 shafts as standard, along with a black Cobra Lamkin Crossline Connect grip. Upgraded shafts and grips are available through custom-fitting.

Verdict: Cobra King Tour Iron

What Cobra have created in the Tour is a great looking soft feeling players’ iron. The new MIM (Metal Injection Moulding) technology story behind how it’s made and why the construction method is better and more consistent will be lost on many, but it surely won’t be long before more irons are produced this way.

We didn’t tell our test pro, until the test session was over, that the Tour heads weren’t forged, he was shocked and felt he’d never have spotted. It means what Cobra say about heating material up so it’s hotter than a forged iron, which then aligns the grain structure more closely, certainly stands up.

We love the heads straight lines, compact size and really simple and elegant overall look. The set flow beautifully, and really good players will love how there appears to be tiny amounts of offset in the short irons.

With so many golfers trying to decide between TaylorMade’s P770 and the Mizuno JPX921 Forged irons this year we’d be doing you a disservice if we didn’t say these should also be on any short list that contains those two models.  

Some will say the chrome finish is very bright and shiny, but some players also love that super traditional look, and obviously overtime it will wear. Cobra haven’t made a full forged players’ iron for a while, trust us this one has been well worth waiting for.

Why We Like It

Most traditional irons use a two- or three-step forging process, but these irons use a five-step process that more effectively aligns the grain structure of the metal and reduces the number of voids. This process allows for tighter control of the weight specs and reduces the amount of hand polishing, leading to a more precise clubhead. The grooves are milled into the face so they can be manufactured closer to the USGA limit. A channel behind the hitting area is filled with a thermoplastic urethane to keep the feel just right.

Ball Flight

Playability.

I could fade or draw it without the ball spinning too much. Has a lower launch but better takeoff, which made the ball stay in the sky longer.

I love the forgiveness of this club. It has a very smooth feel, launches the ball high quickly and produces a consistent ball flight.

Makes a softer, more muted sound than other cavity-backs in the category. Center strikes come off with energy and produce a penetrating ball flight that travels pretty far.

Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play

Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Cobra has become one of the most sought after OEM’s when it comes to drivers and game improvement irons. They have won several “Best Of “categories for their Drivers and Game Improvement irons but inexplicably their Players Irons still seem to fly under the radar. I have always thought the original Amp Forged, Fly Z+ and Forged Tour irons were the best irons in their class and I switched to the Amp Forged when they were released because I liked them better than what I was playing in every way from looks to performance to feel. And speaking of performance and feel, that brings us to the Cobra King Tour MIM players irons.  

All the top OEMs make good irons so it often comes down to personal preferences and/or how the sole/spin/distance/head size and look fits your swing. The Players Iron category has been expanded to include both MB and GI like irons along with the new Players Distance category that some feel are in the Players Iron category while others feel they are in their own category. The point being, you have a lot of choices when it comes to better players irons. Depending on the type of player you are, there are clubs that are closer to MB’s with just a little added forgiveness while maintaining a thinner sole, smaller head and just a hint of perimeter weighting. At the other end you have those that are improving and want something with more playability than a Game Improvement iron but with perhaps a slightly wider sole, longer blade length and as much perimeter weighting as possible. For my money, the sweet spot of the Players Iron category are those irons that fit right in the middle of these two extremes and Cobra has done exactly that with their King Tour MIM irons. The top line is on the thin side with little offset that appeals to the better and aspiring to be better player. The sole is right in the middle and has excellent turf interaction. The size of the head is also just Goldilocks perfect to my eye, not too big or not too small and provides the best combination of playability and forgiveness I have played to date. Players coming from either a MB like iron or a GI like iron should find plenty to like with the Cobra King Tour MIM irons because they produce consist distance and trajectory but are also quite forgiving. My very second shot with them came on a par 5 in the Phoenix deserts with hard and fast fairways where you can land shots just short and run them on the green, even with a nice high ball flight. With 205 yards to the pin I landed my MIM 4 iron just short and it hopped on and rolled about 10 feet past the cup for an Eagle putt. A perfect trajectory with enough spin to hold the green and the feel was extremely satisfying. That brings us to feel.

Cobra promotes the King Tour MIM irons as having “a softer feel than traditional carbon steel forgings” because with so many iron choices, Cobra needs to get your attention and that statement is certainly an attention getter. But before I get into the feel of these irons, I am reminded of playing Hogan Apex 99’s and being disappointed in the feel that was too crisp for my tastes. After a few rounds I traded them in for some Mizuno MP33’s and loved their much softer feel. I took them to the range and ironically a young player next to me was hitting brand new Apex 99’s. I commented that I really liked their performance but did not like their feel. He laughed and said that he just traded in some MP33’s for the Apex 99’s because the MP33’s “felt like mush” and he thought they did not provide good feedback. He loved the crisper more responsive feel of the Apex 99’s. It was then I realized just how subjective “feel” is when it comes to golf equipment. Having played many forged carbon steel MB and CB irons through the years, most produce a kind of soft feel that is very recognizable. So hitting the MIM irons for the first time I was really looking forward to playing irons that are marketed as softer than traditional carbon steel forgings. And this is why I related the above story because my initial impression was they did not have that melt into the face kind of feel I have experienced through the years with traditional forgings. I have edited this section several times writing this review because the more I have played these irons, the more my opinion has changed. After 20+ rounds with them I have come to the conclusion that they are indeed soft feeling irons and arguably yes, they are softer than a traditional forging, but they are a completely new category of metal and their feel is just so unique. I asked VP Tom Olsavsky the head of Cobra’s R&D if this is a subjective claim and he told me “This is based on hardness measurements of the irons so there is actual science and data to support this claim. We also get players comments that they feel softer, so it’s always good when the comments match the science!” I find them to be very dense and solid producing a wonderful “heavy” feel at impact and I have grown to absolutely love the MIM feel.

Without getting too technical let’s take a quick look at MIM (Metal Injection Molding) and the advantages this process provides. The MIM process starts with 304 Stainless Steel, one of the softest stainless steels. Cobra begins with metal consisting of very small microns of 304 powder and is then mixed with a polymer binder to form a paste and it is injected into a mold that creates the first rough head shape. Then it is heated again to 2,444 degrees, which is higher than traditional forgings and this high heat melts out the polymer leaving the metal at a 98 material density. This creates an iron head with virtually non existent voids in the metal. This process is repeated for every iron head and the consistency exceeds the forging process creating a completely new class of irons. Olsavsky tells me “The consistency comes from the process of making the iron shape which is more consistent vs forging. Since MIM process is more consistent, it requires less hand grinding, so the variability is less as well. Therefore the shapes are more consistent for every head.”

  Combined with the consistency of Metal Injection Molding the King Tour irons have several other features that enhance their playability. The heel and toe weighting that improves forgiveness when hit off center is enhanced by a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Insert (TPI) that produces a more solid feel right behind the hitting zone. The high density tungsten weight in the toe of the 7- 4 iron provides even more perimeter weighting with a precise CG right in the middle of the face as well as increased forgiveness when hit toward the heel or toe. One legitimate complaint concerning cast and GI irons is they mask mishits so solid strikes and slight misses feel the same. The MIM irons provide the kind of feedback better players prefer, although not at the sake of forgiveness. Hit the ball in the center and get that dense and solid feel we all love, but hit it toward the toe or a bit low on the face and the feel lets you know you made poor contact, yet the shot itself does not suffer as much as you would think. This is the best of both worlds because as much as I like seeing my mishits still land on the green perhaps a little short or left/right, I like to know I missed the center and the King Tour irons provide that important feedback.

Lofts are about average for a Players Iron with a 45* pw decreasing by 4* through the 6 iron and 3* from the 6 to the 4 iron. Several other Players/Distance Irons have a 5* gap that can cause more in-between yardages requiring partial swings. I find the King Tour lofts just about ideal although I will probably weaken them by 1* from the pw through 6. The irons come stock with KBS $-Taper steel shafts but as usual with Cobra, you can custom order the MIM irons with virtually any KBS, True Temper or Nippon steel shafts as a no charge custom order. I have the Nippon 950GH in mine and the combination is outstanding. Recoil and Steelfiber graphite shafts are available for a $35/$20 upcharge and considering their aftermarket costs are almost double that price and that doesn’t even include the charge for re-shafting, so it is quite a deal.  

If you are a low index player looking for a Players Iron that provides a little more forgiveness while also giving you consistency from iron to iron and the ability to shape shots anyway you have the skill to produce OR you are a higher index player looking to move into a more playable iron that allows you to begin improving your shot making with enough forgiveness to not punish your slight mishits, I think the Cobra King Tour MIM irons are an absolute must demo. Rarely do reviewed clubs go straight into my bag but the King Tour MIM irons are solidly in my bag for 2021. More info and pictures on the Cobra website: https://www.cobragolf.com/king-tour-irons

Another great reviews with great info!

Cobra is definitely an under-appreciated brand for irons ... several years back I'd walked into a PGATSS to demo a few different GI irons and remember asking about one of the Cobra models .. the store rep basically just said, "nah". After that day I later ended up with a set of King OS irons - which I really liked and still wish I had hung on to....

... Thanks. When the Amp Forged irons were first released many thought the bright orange badging was just too loud for a players iron, myself included. Then I hit them on Demo Day and decided performance trumps cavity aesthetics that you can't see and they looked awesome at address. I replaced my original AP2's and never looked back. A little too loud and clashed with my bag colors but as always, after a few months I didn't even notice. 

• cksurfdude and JohnSmalls

Thanks for a great review, though I already looked them so this is not helping my temptation to buy them. I enjoy my i500s but have been thinking of moving into a bit more players offering but still some forgiveness which these sound to hit that sweet spot. Glad you enjoy them.

Great stuff. How do they compare to your t100s?

... Give me 10 golfers in the players iron market and I have a feeling 5 would choose the T100s and 5 would chose the MIM's. The T100s have a smaller looking head profile, a thinner top line and get through the turf better than any irons I have played. The MIM's have a slightly larger head profile, get through the ground very nicely, have not quite as thin a top line but are a littler more forgiving and a hair longer, although the 950GH might be responsible for the distance as I not comparing apples to apples with the shafts. And the MIM's feels awesome once you get used to them. I really love them both.

Great review @chisag ! I had been curious to see if these overtook the T100s for you. I definitely plan to give them another look as I continue my 2021 quest to find my perfect next set of irons.

If you could combine the look & performance of the MIMs with the feel of Forged Tour, would you? Or has the MIM grown on you enough that you prefer its feel over the Forged Tour?

... For me it is kinda like having 2 deserts at a fine restaurant. I taste the Cheesecake with Blackberries and think it is just insanely good. Then I taste my wife's Flourless Chocolate Cake with whip cream made from scratch and think it is also insanely good. They are both lightly sweet deserts that are the same but different. That is how I feel about the forged vs MIM comparison. There is a synergy of course when a combination of looks, performance and forgiveness enhance the sound/feel and the MIM's do just that. As I said in the review I was not a big fan my first round but as I got used to the different feel and enjoyed the performance I grew to love MIM. When you hit the MIM dead center they have a very dense almost persimmon like feel where forged have that melt into the metal face feel. So all things considered and forced to compare, I do prefer the feel of MIM over Forged but by the very slimmest of subjective margins.

Hey @chisag , were you able to customize the set outside of shafts?  I've looked longingly at these irons both on Cobra's website and Global Golf and both would leave me with a club in my bag that I don't want.  I would be either stuck with a 4 iron I can't hit or a gap wedge that I don't want.

... I think quite a few options were available but I wanted to review a set as close to stock as possible. But you can order them anyway you like. One iron at a time, although several irons are on back order at the moment, a good sign of their success. You can always check out custom options by going to TGW and clicking the Enter Custom Specs. TGW is very good at showing what options the OEMs offer.

Thank you.  And thank you for another good review.  As much as I like data based reviews that contain near overloads of numbers, a well written review from someone just having the clubs in their hands and talking about the intangibles is very refreshing.

Every time I read one of your reviews, it makes me want to buy them as well lol 

The Fly Z+ were legit, too bad I found them when they were already phased out and not many options to choose.

Now about the looks, would you prefer a matte finish and no badge?

@chisag  how are you getting along with these a few months in? Have the recent press releases coming from Titleist given you a wandering eye or are you sticking with the MIMs? If you could make any changes with the Cobra design team for their "King Tour 2.0", is there anything that comes to mind (outside of maybe a cleaner cavity which as you noted is purely aesthetic and not fully necessary)?

... After reviewing and changing irons every year (sometimes more than once a year) I have always wanted to stick to one set of irons for 2-3 years or more. I am hoping the King Tours will be those irons. Seems adding the Steelfiber 95s really have mine dialed in. In answer to your question there is nothing I would change, other than the cavity cosmetics as you stated. They are just about a perfect combination of size, look at address, feel and forgiveness. I love a mid sized head because on my really good days they aren't big enough to be a distraction and on my off days they are just big enough to give me confidence.

Love it - just what I was hoping (and expecting) to hear. I am planning to buy a set and keep for 3 years (and love to overanalyze all my big ticket purchases anyway), so will wait to hit all the new releases in the next couple of months, but leaning strongly towards these. They really do seem like a goldilocks product with no need to create a combo set.

... Funny you should mention a combo set. I played several round with my Srixon Z Forged pw-8 and my King Tour 7-4 irons. I saw no difference in performance and went back to a full King set.

Great review, the Cobra forgings are definitely intriguing - before your write-up and now even more after it.  I am curious to know more about the feel you discussed.  Especially since you specifically compared the feel to the MP33's.  Have you compared that feel to any of Mizuno's current offerings (such as the MP20, or the HMB which I am currently swinging).  That buttery feel is what I think my HMB's are lacking compared to my MP33's or even my previous to HMB gamers the MP68's.  I do love the Mizuno forging feel...my sense from your review is they aren't quite as soft feeling, but still give a pure feel.  But interested to hear your thoughts having played the MIM's for some amount of time now.

... Since "feel" is subjective I think it is difficult to make any kind of definitive statement concerning the MIM irons and comparisons to current Mizuno offerings. While there is little doubt the Cobra's are soft feeling, any claims they are softer than say MP20/JPX 921 Tour irons will be personal opinions. I was informed by Tom Olsavsky that technical softness measurements concluded MIM were the softest irons measured so there is that. I will add this, if you are comparing MIM irons to MP33's I believe you would have to demo them side by side using tour urethane balls to determine which you feel is softer. Hitting them on separate days should produce a "They both feel really soft, really dense" kinda response. I also think personal preference with brand loyalty can contribute to conclusions. Since they are very similar if you are a big Mizuno fan there is a good chance you might find the Mizuno's just a hair softer, and the same would be true for Cobra fans. Agnostic brand players would probably find the MIM irons softer but still a close call. As stated elsewhere in this thread missing the center, especially toe strikes tend to feel harsher with the MIM irons but slight mishits feel really good and center contact is pure nirvana.  ... Then of course we are also comparing the MP33, a solid carbon steel iron head to a multi material iron head so all of the Mizuno irons excluding the MP20/JPX Tours would be more comparable.

Fair comments all.. I should have prefaced my question with "in your subjective opinion"... understanding and agreeing to everything you said.... in the context of your personal experience.  Also love the comment about "Mizuno guys" will prefer the Mizuno's and "Cobra guys" would prefer the Cobra... that is so true!  I guess the best takeaway is you feel these are a quality soft feeling iron and you have great experience with a variety of top end players irons.  That is the part I appreciate more than anything.  Cobra Tour MIM's hold their own.  Good stuff.  Thanks Chisag! ~Tim.

I hit the JPX919 Tour and JPX919 Forged side by side with Cobra MIM using the same shaft (Nippon Modus 120) off real grass outside and, like @chisag said it's subjective, the Cobra MIMs felt heavy/solid in a way that the JPX919Tour did not. I am not as consistent a ballstriker as chisag but I hit it out of the middle a good bit of the time and the feeling with the Cobras was just a solid thud that felt like it had more mass right behind the ball. The JPX919 tour felt really good on a few shots but not nearly as consistently good as the MIMs and I was literally hitting like 3 balls and switching between the irons and did this for 5 or 6 cycles. The JPX919 Forged was fine but nothing to write home about in the "feel" arena. I, admittedly, have only hit forged clubs a handful of times and the Cobras really shocked me. Like where has this feeling been all my life. It is the standard I am testing a bunch of other clubs against and it is shooting them down like the Red Baron. Plus, it feels forgiving in a way the JPX919 Tour did not.

Thanks Vandy, I appreciate the comments on your experience.  Sounds like Cobra may have a bit of sleeper with these MIM's.  I will be giving them a fair shot the next time I have a chance to swing them. Tim.

KING Tour Irons

The KING TOUR Irons feature a tour cavity back design for precise shot-making with a touch of added forgiveness and a TPU insert for a soft, responsive feel on every strike.

Returns & Shipping

Please note returns must be requested within 30 days of receipt and all product returned in new and unused condition. Custom built limited edition golf clubs cannot be returned.

IMPROVED SHAPING

The shaping of the TOUR irons is progressively more compact than the KING Forged TEC model, featuring a thinner topline, reduced offset. The updated Tour shape also features a slightly shortened blade length than the previous KING Tour MIM Irons to inspire improved control and workability.

Your user agent does not support the HTML5 Video element.

5-STEP FORGED

Cnc milled undercuts for enhanced stability, tpu inserts for improved feel.

Track Your Game Like The Pros

With the purchase of any COBRA club, you are eligible for free Arccos Smart Sensors to equip your set, and a free trial of the award-winning Arccos app.

Tech Overview

While traditional irons utilize a 4 step forging process, the KING irons add a fifth step to deliver exceptional soft feel that better players demand. Each iron is crafted and 5-step forged from 1025 carbon steel for a more uniform grain structure and precise shaping.

A key to the enhanced forgiveness of the TOUR irons are the CNC milled undercuts in the back of each iron, which allow weight to be repositioned to lower CG for improved launch conditions, and more stability on off center hits.

The CNC milled cavities are filled with a TPU material and topped with an aluminum co-mold medallion, which both damp vibrations for a more pleasing sound and feel at impact.
