Our Cobra King Pur wedges review took place at Moor Allerton in Leeds and conducted by me, a 17 handicapper, and NCG digital journalist Craig Middleton, who is off 13.
Cobra King Pur wedges review – First impressions
There’s an awful lot to like about the new King Pur wedges from Cobra from an aesthetic point of view.
The finish is clean and stylish and there’s added shelf appeal from the unique groove cut out of the bounce on the sole of the club.
At address these wedges are intimidating at all.
One problem with specialist wedges is that they are often designed with tour players in mind.
Anyone who has a fairly chunky set of game-improvement irons probably won’t appreciate the leap to skinny blade.
The Cobra King Pur wedges will make for an easy transition while at the same time I don’t think they will put off the better players at all.
Good all-rounders I’d say.
Cobra King Pur wedges review – The technology
These feature wider grooves and closer gapping in the higher lofted wedges. Cobra have kept the traditional thinner and deeper grooves on the lower lofted wedges.
The wider grooves allow your higher lofted wedges – 56 to 60 degrees – to grab the ball, giving off more spin to help you control the ball around the greens.
The finish isn’t just about looking nice – it helps to reduce glare from the sun at address.
