Dunes PGA iron guide
Which Cobra iron fits your game?
Cobra spans maximum-forgiveness KING models, hollow-body TEC irons and compact 3D-printed designs with unusual stability for their size.
Start with what you need
Forgiveness does not have to look bulky.
Head size and handicap are only starting points. Launch, carry consistency, descent angle, strike and turf interaction determine the useful answer.

A plain-English guide to the differences that matter before testing begins.
| Model | Profile | Launch | Forgiveness | Distance | Best starting point for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KING MAX | Game improvement | High | Highest | High | you want a highly playable game-improvement iron with speed and stability |
| KING | Game improvement | Mid to high | High | High | you want forgiveness and distance without moving to the maximum-size option |
| KING TEC X | Players improvement | Mid to high | High | High | you want hollow-body speed and high forgiveness in a players-inspired profile |
| KING TEC | Players distance | Mid | Moderate to high | Mid to high | you prefer refined shaping and forged feel but still want hollow-body speed and support |
| COBRA 3DP | Players compact | Mid | High for size | Controlled to high | you want a compact, players-inspired shape without accepting traditional blade levels of instability |

Plain-English guidance
Which Cobra KING irons should you try?
One model does not have to cover the whole set. Blending easier-launching long irons with more compact scoring irons can create a better result.
Maximum playabilityKING MAX
Help golfers hit more greens
Consider this if: you want a highly playable game-improvement iron with speed and stability
KING MAX uses mass optimisation and 3D-printing methods to increase playability and forgiveness.
Worth knowing: The larger sole and profile need to suit your delivery through the turf.
Balanced improvementKING
The broad Cobra baseline
Consider this if: you want forgiveness and distance without moving to the maximum-size option
The core KING family provides a balanced route through Cobra's game-improvement range.
Worth knowing: Confirm the exact current UK head and specification during fitting.
Forgiving hollow bodyKING TEC X
Distance and stability with refinement
Consider this if: you want hollow-body speed and high forgiveness in a players-inspired profile
TEC X uses substantial internal tungsten and hollow construction to combine distance, feel and forgiveness.
Worth knowing: The hollow-body flight and gaps should be compared against KING and standard TEC.
Players hollow bodyKING TEC
Better-player looks with forgiveness
Consider this if: you prefer refined shaping and forged feel but still want hollow-body speed and support
KING TEC combines a forged body and face with a cleaner players profile and useful forgiveness.
Worth knowing: It may blend well with a more forgiving long-iron option.
Compact stabilityCOBRA 3DP
A different route to forgiveness
Consider this if: you want a compact, players-inspired shape without accepting traditional blade levels of instability
Cobra's 3D-printed structures allow unusually high MOI and precise mass placement inside smaller profiles.
Worth knowing: Premium construction still has to produce a meaningful performance gain for your swing.
The Dunes view
Fit the set, not just the seven iron.
Cobra is especially interesting when a golfer wants high stability in a cleaner shape. We compare KING, TEC and 3DP heads using launch, carry consistency and turf interaction rather than appearance alone.
