The King MIM is Cobra's answer to a question most golfers never ask: how consistent is the wedge you just bought? Most wedge heads are cast, then hand-ground to spec, which means small differences from one head to the next. Cobra built these through metal injection molding, where powdered metal gets pressed into a precise mold under heat and pressure. The result is a head that comes out of production already close to final shape, with tighter tolerances than casting allows.
That matters more than it sounds. When you carry a 50, a 54, and a 58, you want them to feel like siblings, not strangers. The MIM process gives you that. Loft, bounce, and center of gravity land where Cobra intended, wedge after wedge. The multi-material construction adds weight where it helps stability without inflating the head, so these stay compact at address.
Offered from 46 through 60 degrees, the King MIM covers the full gap-to-lob range. This is a players wedge that leans on manufacturing precision rather than forgiveness gimmicks. If you take your short game seriously and want tools that behave predictably, it earns a look.

About the Cobra King MIM
The Tour grind sole is the story here. It's a versatile shape with relieved heel and toe, so you can open the face for a flop or a bunker shot and the leading edge stays down instead of riding up off the turf. Square it up for a stock full wedge and it sits clean. This grind rewards players who manipulate the face and move the ball around the green rather than hitting every shot the same way. Metal injection molding is the manufacturing headline, but the payoff is feel and repeatability. The dense, uniform head produced by the process gives a soft, solid sensation at impact, and because every head starts from the same mold, the grind and CG are more consistent than hand-finished wedges. The compact profile and thin topline read like a blade at address, which is what better players want looking down on a scoring club.
Who Should Play the Cobra King MIM?
- ✓Mid to low handicap players who shape shots around the green and want a sole that supports an open face.
- ✓Golfers building a matched wedge set from gap through lob who care about consistent loft and bounce between heads.
- ✓Players who value a compact, blade-like look and soft feel over max-forgiveness cavity designs.
- ✓Anyone curious whether MIM construction actually delivers tighter tolerances than a standard cast wedge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does MIM mean on the Cobra King MIM wedge?
MIM stands for metal injection molding. Cobra presses powdered metal into a precise mold under heat and pressure, so each head comes out close to final shape with tighter tolerances than casting. The main benefit is consistency, your 54 and 58 are ground and weighted the same way, plus a soft, solid feel at impact.
Is the Tour grind on the King MIM good for bunkers and open-face shots?
Yes. The Tour grind relieves the heel and toe, so when you open the face the leading edge stays close to the turf instead of lifting. That makes greenside flops, bunker shots, and touch shots easier to execute. It's a versatile grind aimed at players who like to manipulate the face.
What lofts does the Cobra King MIM come in?
It's available in 46, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees. That range lets you fill your gap wedge slot around 46 to 50, add a 54 or 56 as a sand wedge, and finish with a 58 or 60 for lob shots. Pick spacing of four to six degrees between wedges for even distance gaps.
Is the King MIM a forgiving wedge for higher handicappers?
It's a players wedge, not a game-improvement one. The head is compact with a thin topline and a versatile Tour grind, which rewards clean contact and shot-making more than it hides mishits. Higher handicappers who want maximum forgiveness may prefer a wider-soled, more forgiving design, but golfers with decent short-game skills will appreciate the control.
How is the King MIM different from a standard cast Cobra wedge?
The difference is the manufacturing process. Standard wedges are usually cast and then finished, while the King MIM is built through metal injection molding for tighter tolerances and a denser, more uniform head. In practice you get more consistent bounce, loft, and center of gravity across the set, plus a softer feel than typical cast wedges.
