The Cobra KING and the Cobra KING MAX share a hollow body, a face insert and stronger lofts. What separates them is category. The KING is a game improvement iron with a multi-material build, and its 7-iron sits at 27°, 2 degrees stronger than the KING MAX at 29°. That gap is worth roughly 5 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so check your wedge gapping if you choose the KING. The KING MAX is a super game improvement iron with a wide sole and a high launch design, which points to a bigger head and more help getting the ball up. It suits golfers who need launch and forgiveness first. The KING suits players who want a more compact game improvement head and more distance per club.
For most golfers weighing these two, the KING MAX is the better value. It lists at $999, $100 less than the KING at $1,099, and its wide sole and high launch tags favor forgiveness. Choose the KING if distance and a multi-material build matter more, or if ratings count: it has Golf Digest at 78/100 and MyGolfSpy at 84/100, while the KING MAX has none on file. If forgiveness and price come first, take the KING MAX.
