PLAYERS' IRONS
COBRA KING TOUR
Stock shaft: KBS $-Taper
7-iron loft: 32°
Forgiveness rating: 2/5
VERDICT: It's been a very long time since a Cobra iron bagged top honours in a TG players' iron test, but the simple and elegant new King Tour is well worthy of such lofty acclaim. This iron helped nurse Rickie Fowler's game back into shape and it's a model the brand haven't really offered for a few years. The five-times forged heads feel super soft. There's a tiny bit of tech built in with variable-depth milled pockets in the shallow cavity back, which add a touch more playability on the long irons and increased flight control on the scoring clubs. 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. The Tour set our joint-fastest ball speed (123.1mph, tied with the Titleist T100 S) and joint second-longest carry (177 yards, again tied with the Titleist T100 S).
