PMookie Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I’ve seen a number of posts on these across social media, and after reading about how they are made, with the type of metal, grind, etc, these have me intrigued! Starts as a metal powder, then the finished product isn’t ground by hand, which creates variances, so each wedge has the same exact Tour grind! Once I read “soft” in the description of the feel, and the Tour grind creating space to work under the ball, I was in!!! Looking forward to more info, and trying these once they release in April!!!https://www.cobragolf.com.fr/king-mim-wedge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Shankster, JohnSmalls, bens197 and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Like the shape of them. I didn’t notice when I had my set of cobra wedges, but apparently the toe is a bit higher than other brands. I like what I see. PMookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB13 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Those are really nice looking. I'm liking the grind, looks good for flop shots.

I'm liking the grind, looks good for flop shots.The regular King wedges have the same grind, maybe minor tweaks. I couldn’t get the leading edge where I liked it for wide open face shots. I could hit them, just took more concentration. Good wedge though for sure. After reading more about the MIM process it is really intriguing. Wonder when the irons will follow.

The MIM process is very intriguing from an engineering proscpetive, but I'm not sure how much it helps from a performance standpoint. I'd guess the irons will follow next year some time. Again not sure on the usefulness for wedges, and I think it'd be even less on irons.

If the smallest thing is off I want to throw it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bardle Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The most exciting part of these to me is the radial grooves that start at the sweetspot, I just think its cool and a nice visual aid for full shots. I either haven't been paying attention or I haven't really seen that anywhere else. If its the latter, I wonder how or why they are the first to do something like that.

bens197 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 It amuses me how these are photographed. Like many clubs there is always a focus on the graphics and backside. I get it, but I’d love to see if these have a teardrop shape and a flatter top edge.

Very unique shape, unlike anything I had used. bens197 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterygolfguy Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I game the cobra king wedges 52\56\60 and love the way they feel. Can't wait to get a hold of one of these and see how they compare.
