Having first heard about the new Cobra King Speedzone range back in December, we were really excited to get our hands on them and see what they had to offer. Watch the review with instruction editor Andrew Wright and myself here, and let us know what you think in the comments below or on Twitter.

Cobra King Speedzone irons: The Technology
The King Speedzone irons feature Cobra’s first-ever carbon fibre topline. This insert is 40 per cent lighter than steel, saving three grams of weight to be redistributed elsewhere in the clubhead.
Cobra have moved this down to lower the centre of gravity and provide an increase in ball speeds. The irons are designed with progressive head shapes, grooves and hosel lengths to optimise launch and spin throughout the set. They also feature extreme heel and toe weighting to again lower the centre of gravity and increase MOI and forgiveness.
Here is Cobra’s vice president of research and development, Tom Olsavsky, to explain more…
Cobra’s 2020 iron line up also includes the Cobra King Forged tec set. These are muscle-back style irons which feature a hollow design that has helped Cobra lower the centre of gravity to maximise distance and forgiveness. Additionally, the hollow cavity is infused with energising foam microspheres that fine-tune the acoustics of the club-face creating a softer feel at impact.
The thin forged face insert, that Cobra call “pwrshell”, has been updated to create a larger sweet spot for higher launch and faster ball speeds in a players’ iron.
