The Cobra King Tour iron sits alongside the new King MB blade and tour-level CB, plus there’s a hollow body Forged Tec and Forged Tec X, all of which can be mix-and-matched to create your own perfect combo set. That said, the Cobra King Tour iron does itself no harm by producing our joint-fastest ball speed (123.1mph – tied with the Titleist T100 S) and joint 2 nd longest carry distance (177 yards – tied with the Titleist T100 S).Ĭobra are now proper players in the forged iron market. Like any good players’ iron, the head shape is really attractive and there are no awkward areas that unduly draw the eye this is an understated model for decent players who are happy to let their golf do the talking.ĭata tends to be less important within this category, as decisions are more often made on subjectives such as looks, sound and feel. There’s a tiny bit of tech built in, with variable depth milled pockets in the shallow cavity back, which add a fraction more playability on the long irons and increased flight control on the scoring clubs. The five-times forged heads of the Cobra King Tour irons feel super soft. The PXG 0317 ST irons created a dispersion area of just 64.8 SQ YDS (2 nd smallest) and saw carry distance drop-offs of just 6 yards between the longest and shortest shots struck with it, which constitutes fantastic distance control and consistency.ĭistance should never come into the equation when buying within this category, but the PXG 0317 ST iron produced a carry distance of 173 yards, which was only 2 yards back from the stronger-lofted Sub 70 639 MB, the longest distance of any blade iron we tested.
Our pro loved the feel and feedback and it’s no exaggeration when we say he hit them incredibly accurately. The PXG 0317 ST irons have a delicious straight-line head shape throughout the set.
If, however, you step back and look only at what benefits each blade brings to the table on paper, rather than going all gooey over heritage and feel and being led by ego, we reckon PXG’s latest 0317 ST irons stand out amongst the crowd. If you seriously have the game to play blades then it’s highly likely you’ll have a brand preference and direction in mind that you want to follow within the category.
