They photograph so stinking well. When I saw the IG post, I caught myself staring a bit.
2024 Cobra King Tec, King Tec-X, and King Tec-X One Length Irons
I played in some weather this weekend and where I have really struggle previously trying to figure out yardages in wind, cold, and rain these were no issue. I was not taking the same clubs to the same yardages but I could figure out the difference easier and it was consistent through the day. That takes a lot of stress out of the game. I am really impressed with just how "playable" these irons can be. I don't mean picking between draws and fades, I mean playing shots that I need at the time. I need to launch lower, I can do that. I need to play a delicate partial shot, I can do that. I need to beat the crap out of the club to go far, I can do that. Just a complete package that are easy to hit.
Just had a few minutes during my work day to sneak out and hit a few balls into my backyard net on a cool 42° morning. Even on a cool day, off center strikes on the King Tec X irons feel playable. They’re not killing my joints and feeling like they’re going to fly nowhere. Especially toe side, these have been so good for me this year.
My Morgan Cup bag is going into play today for what might be the last round of the year I figure that's a fitting way to close out 2025. That means King Tec is back in the bag today. I'm looking forward to some swing easy distance around a soggy golf course.

Had it come out of play between last month at Vic and now?
Did you do the birdie dance?Woo...... Just through a pitching wedge dart on a par 3 from 140. Landed 3 ft from the pin spun back a little bit. Welcome back King Tec

Had my best round ever a couple weeks ago and my OL king tec x were the star as I had 12 GIR. The OLs are working really well for me as long irons were a big problem area for me before. I do hope they continue to make OL, preferably in a set with less offset in the 5,6. I’ve been considering picking up the 4i as well.
I aim for the middle of the green the majority of the time and the forgiveness of the Xs helped me stay on the green on a couple mishits and they are not as punishing.

A lot of fun with the King Tec today. It's just easy distance with them at easy speed. Left-to-right dispersion is great, Vertical dispersion can occasionally become a bit larger than I'd like. Doesn't happen a lot but sometimes they can fly a bit. Maybe I'm catching it in the sweet spot 1/5 times, and I'm getting an extra 10y, but when I miss it's low on the face, and I lose a little more. The feeling on those low strikes is.... ooof.. tough.
I played well today. Ended up hitting 13/18 GIR. Shot a good number for me, and I'm happy I had KT along for the ride today.

I decided to put the King TEC back in play today as well after a few rounds dedicated to the 3DP. Played really well for me posting a 38-43 with no double bogeys. Love these irons and they have performed great all year. Look amazing in the bag and the durability is outstanding. Plenty of distance and stopping power and with firm fairways today, the sole issues I've had previously were much less of an issue. Just looked at the score card. 56% GIR is outstanding for me. Definitely on a bit of a fence here against the 3DP...

Checking back in after a hot take thread on GIR only to find that my previous post had me over 50% GIR with the King TEC. I'm putting them back in the bag for another windy round this Saturday. If I can hit that percentage again... dare I say I may consider the build with my DART shafts in the TEC instead of the 3DP Tour??? I mean, I LOVE everything about the 3DP Tour but if the numbers are there with the TEC, I might have to listen
Also, it's the holidays (expen$ive) and I can't justify having a set of 3DP sitting in my office. They may end up for sale

The Tec’s are good! We’ve heard that from multiple people who have both them and the 3dp’s. Just about what works best for you, and what you‘re comfortable with looking at at addressChecking back in after a hot take thread on GIR only to find that my previous post had me over 50% GIR with the King TEC.

Totally. I much prefer the look of the 3DP but the TEC are the furthest thing from off-putting. They have treated me well all season, and continue to do so.
How are the DARTs compared to your current MMTs? Why are you making the switch? I have stock KBS 85 in my tec X and am considering going a heavier graphite, either 95 or 105.Checking back in after a hot take thread on GIR only to find that my previous post had me over 50% GIR with the King TEC.

I can't speak from experience yet on the DARTs. I've played the MMT in 95 and 105 almost exclusively for the past few years in at least 5 sets and I like them. I was looking for a little more "action" in the DARTs and bought blind based on reviews and comparisons in that thread. I could easily play the 95 weight again but didn't want to drop to the 90s in the DART, so I stayed with the 105
looking forward to your review on them. what do you mean by "action" here? I'll will check out the DART thread as well.
IIRC there were some folks that thought the MMT felt a little boardy or stiff to flex. I'm far from a high swing speed player and have not really felt that the MMT were particularly "stiff" to flex necessarily. Always an individual preference on "feel", but the main reason I went to graphite was to save my joints when hitting off mats here in the Colorado winters.
I suppose maybe all graphite shafts could be described as "boardy" or "dead" by nature of the fact that they dampen vibrations... I'm good with that. That's what I want them to do. But, if I can get a bit more load or a little higher ball flight from my swing speed and move at the ball, I'll take it.
awesome, I also went to graphite to save my joints. my local range is mats only

Don’t imagine there’s any lefties on here that have been itching to get their hands on a set of the King Tec X OL just in time for the new year is there?!

Well, I've been bouncing between the 3DP and the King TEC since returning from the Morgan Cup and as amazing as the 3DP Tour are, I can't justify keeping them over the TEC. Looks like my Morgan Cup bag will remain in play for the foreseeable future, and I'm SO not mad about that. My last 3 rounds have been 81, 79, 79 and that's really good for me.
The Tec’s are great irons dude! I think you made a wise decision
The 3DP definitely felt like sitting at the cool kids table, but I was never really a "cool kid".
I know what your past career was, you’re definitely a cool kid to meThe 3DP definitely felt like sitting at the cool kids table, but I was never really a "cool kid".
