2025 Cobra King and King X Wedges

Great write up, @Jman. This release is absolutely stunning to me. Those wedges pair so well with the LIMIT3D/3DP Tour irons.
 
There are some super cool features to these wedges. It may be just the pictures. But at address something looks slightly off to me..
 
The Cobra Black finish holds up so well will that change? , great write up.
Believe it should be the same process they have been doing. Should hold up just fine.

It’s the same finish that was on the black snakebite wedges, but it is different than the DBM on the KING Tour, CB and MB irons.

Ahh I was wondering where that difference was.

Like I said. Take it with some salt as some times pictures are hard to get the full idea. And when you see them in hand it’s less of an issue.

But.

1. for me is the smaller lower groove. It’s distracting to me..

2. The leading edge looks more rounded than I would like. Or maybe it is just how the hosel transitions to the leading edge. It also makes it look like there is a lot of offset.

Edit.. it could also be that the neck looks super long. That is a cool feature. But could be something in the picture throwing things off.

I was about to add, I think the length of neck could initially play with some eyes more than anything.

They’ve got an old school Vokey vibe, and I mean that in a great way

It was something I noticed right after. So it could just be the bottom groove. lol. I don’t like the small bottom groove.

Length being longer than maybe others?

Longer than some, and than the trend by some. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing at all.

Just means its more forgiving 😂

Longer hosel means higher CG and lower launch. All good things.

Not at all, but also pulls CG more heel side compared to toe side. Was just curious since I haven’t seen in person yet and spent half the day debating which of these two wedges to slot into the SW spot

Depends on the rest of the design.

Its a piece of a greater puzzle.

Of course, but that is a general affect.

To be clear, I’m not saying these have a more heel side CG compared to others wedges. Simply that a longer hosel means more weight heel side, which shifts CG that direction, assuming rest of the club is the same. If I’m wrong with that understanding please help me better understand how all the pieces play together.

It absolutely can, but, it also depends on what else is being done in the rest of the head weight placement wise.
 
Great write up @Jman

The new X wedges badge improves their look substantially in photos at least. Love the return to MIM as I thought that was a great wedge material.

These are absolutely a must-hit! LOVE the new looks of both. I am a little disappointed that they didn't keep the full-face grooves though.

They crushed the CBs King X (gotta be proper!)

I do when looking at the King X, not sure how I feel about that still. Have gotten so used to seeing the full face grooves.

As an X wedge player, love love love the look of the KingX. Light years better than previous versions. I too will miss the full face grooves mainly because I used them extensively (ya know for testing purposes 🤣)
If the MIM does give them a softer feel that will be a huge win also.
I am not a huge wedge aficionado when it comes to what grinds work best for me so simple is better and that is what the X does.
