Cobra's King Cobra Snakebite wedge in the Tour Grind is built for players who want to work the ball and trust the sole through the turf. The name comes from the Snakebite groove treatment, and that's the real story here. Cobra sharpens the groove edges and adds a heat treatment to the striking area so the spin holds up round after round instead of fading in a month of range sessions.
The forged carbon steel head gives you that soft, dense feel at impact that better players chase, and the multi-material construction lets Cobra move weight around to keep the head stable on off-center strikes without killing the compact tour shape. You get lofts from 50 to 60 in two-degree steps, so you can dial in your gapping right through the scoring clubs.
This is a wedge for someone who already knows what they want from a short game. It rewards clean contact and precise face control. If you like to open the face and hit spinners, or flight a half wedge down and stop it on a coin, the Tour Grind gives you the relief to do it.
In short
The Cobra King Cobra Snakebite (2023) is a tour-grind wedge built for shotmaking and versatility around the green. Lofts run 50° to 60°. It carries a $139.99 MSRP.

The Tour Grind is the tighter, more versatile sole in the Snakebite family. Heel and toe relief let you open the face and lay the club down flat without the leading edge riding up, which matters on firm turf and tight lies around the green. The bounce sits in a range that suits players with a shallow to neutral angle of attack who sweep the ball rather than dig. Snakebite grooves are CNC milled with a sharper edge radius, and the face gets a spin-enhancing surface treatment between the grooves. On partial shots and shots out of the rough, that extra bite is where you feel the difference. The forged body keeps the feel soft and connected, while the multi-material build lets Cobra position weight low and toward the perimeter for a slightly more forgiving miss than a straight blade wedge.
Cobra sharpens the edge radius on the grooves and adds a heat treatment to the face so the grooves stay sharp longer. In practice that means more spin on wedge shots, especially from the rough and on partial swings, and the spin doesn't drop off as fast over a season of use.
The Tour Grind has heel and toe relief and a moderate bounce, which suits a shallow to neutral angle of attack and firmer to average turf. If you tend to dig or play soft, wet conditions, a wider or higher-bounce grind will help you more. If you like opening the face for lobs and spinners, this grind gives you room to do it.
The King Cobra Snakebite comes in 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees. A common setup is a 50 or 52 as your gap wedge, a 54 or 56 for sand and full swings, and a 58 or 60 for lobs and touch shots. Keep your gaps around four to six degrees so your yardages don't overlap.
The forged carbon steel head feels softer and more solid at impact, with better feedback on where you struck the face. That feedback is part of why better players prefer forged wedges. The multi-material construction adds a touch of stability without taking away that soft feel.
Cobra offers Snakebite wedges in plated and raw-style finishes depending on the model year and loft. Plated finishes resist rust and hold their look, while raw finishes will patina and rust over time, which some players like because it can reduce glare. Wipe the face down after wet rounds either way to keep the grooves clean.
