The Srixon ZXiR HL and Cobra KING MAX are both super game improvement irons with a 29° 7-iron, so their stock distances line up club for club. Construction is what separates them. The ZXiR HL is a forged cavity back with a wide sole. The KING MAX pairs a wide sole with a hollow body and a face insert. Both carry stronger lofts and are built for high launch. Set makeup differs too. The KING MAX stock set starts at the 5-iron, while the ZXiR HL data starts at the 6-iron. The Srixon suits golfers who want a forged cavity back in a super game improvement head. The Cobra suits golfers who want hollow body construction and a 5-iron included.
At list price the KING MAX is the easier pick. It costs $999 against $1,049 for the ZXiR HL, a $50 gap, and it includes the 5-iron that the Srixon data does not list. Distance should not decide this, since the lofts match at the 7-iron. If price and set makeup lead your list, buy the Cobra KING MAX. If feel matters more and a forged cavity back is what you want in the bag, pay the extra for the Srixon ZXiR HL.
