Cobra KING MAX

Industry awards include 2026 Hot List recognition with a 16-handicap tester noting 'it felt like the face was explosive, and it translated to a lot of height. It felt like you're really going to get out of whatever situation you're in.' The more oversized head + longer blade length + more offset + thicker topline + 2° weaker lofts than standard KING combine for maximum forgiveness. 75-gram weight in the 4-7 irons positioned low and back lowers CG while allowing face flex; 360 SPEEDSHELL face delivers 23% more face flex than the previous generation.

Reviewer testing reports the distance and forgiveness for the higher handicap range it targets — 'this club flat-out performed, even moreso than some of the better game-improvement irons I tested.' 2° weaker lofts (31° 7-iron) than standard KING trade peak ball speed for launch and stopping power, but 75g catapult weight + 360 SPEEDSHELL face + 23% more face flex maintain strong distance for the SGI target. Easy to get up in the air without ballooning.

Reviewer testing reports a 'nice, controlled left-to-right shot shape' — explicit draw bias by design. Higher handicappers and slower swingers who prioritise easy launch, forgiveness, and straight-shot bias over shot-shaping. Larger overall profile + increased offset + 2° weaker lofts throughout aid with launch — SGI distance + launch focus, not shotmaking.

Same chassis as standard KING — hollow body with soft foam inside to enhance feel and help the face bend, with the catapult weight suspended in a shock-absorbing polymer. Foam microspheres dampen vibrations for a solid and satisfying feel at impact across the 2026 KING family. Same trade-off as standard KING where mishit feedback is dampened.

Same foam-microsphere + polymer-encased catapult weight construction as standard KING. The polymer-encased catapult weight does meaningful acoustic work — muted, satisfying thud rather than the hollow clatter that usually characterizes heavily engineered cast irons. Class-leading vs typical SGI hollow-body clatter.

Industry coverage describes a more oversized head with a slightly longer blade length, more offset, a thicker topline, and a larger confidence-inspiring profile vs the standard KING. The MAX deliberately reverses the standard KING's player-leaning silhouette refinements for SGI buyers — confidence-inspiring at address for the target buyer but SGI in character.
