Cobra's King Snakebite in the Tour Grind is the wedge for the golfer who opens the face and expects the ball to do what they tell it. The Tour Grind is the tightest, most workable of Cobra's 2021 wedge shapes, with a narrower sole and less bounce built for firm turf and shots hit off a shallow, sweeping angle. If you pick the club up and lay it wide open around the green, this is the grind that lets you do it without the leading edge sitting a mile off the ground.
The name comes from the Snakebite groove technology, and it's the reason to care about this wedge. Cobra sharpened the groove edges and cut them deeper, then added a special heat treatment across the face so those aggressive edges hold up longer than a typical wedge face. More bite means more spin, especially on the shorter, partial shots where you're leaning on the grooves to grab a wet or fluffy lie. The face is forged, so you get the soft, connected feel good players want when they're flighting shots down and controlling distance with the hands.
With lofts from 46 to 60 degrees in this grind, you can build a full matched set from gap wedge through lob wedge, all with the same look and the same Tour Grind sole. That consistency matters more than most golfers realize. Every wedge sits the same way behind the ball, so your setup and your release don't have to change as you move up in loft.

About the Cobra King Snakebite
The Tour Grind sole is narrow with relief ground off the heel and trailing edge, which is what gives it the freedom to open up cleanly. Square it up and it plays with modest bounce for a controlled, digging entry into the turf. Rotate the face open and the ground-away areas drop the leading edge closer to the surface, so you can slide it under the ball on flops and high spinners. This is a grind that rewards precise contact and firmer conditions rather than one that bails you out of fat strikes. Underneath the forged face, the multi-material build lets Cobra move mass where it does the most good and dial in the feel. The forging gives the soft impact sensation, and the Snakebite grooves plus the milled face texture handle the spin. It's a clean, compact head with a thin topline and minimal offset, the look better players tend to trust when they're staring down a tight lie.
Who Should Play the Cobra King Snakebite?
- ✓Low to mid handicappers with a shallow, sweeping swing who play mostly firm turf and tight lies

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Snakebite groove technology on the Cobra King wedge?
Snakebite is Cobra's groove design that uses sharper, deeper groove edges cut into the face, plus a heat treatment that hardens those edges so they wear slower over time. The point is more spin and more consistent spin, particularly on short and partial shots where you rely on the grooves to grip the ball out of soft or wet lies.
Who should play the Tour Grind instead of the other Snakebite sole options?
The Tour Grind is the lowest-bounce, most workable shape in the lineup. It suits better players with a shallow angle of attack who play firm turf and like to open the face. If you take a steep divot or play soft, wet conditions, a higher-bounce grind will serve you better and keep the leading edge from digging.
What lofts does the King Snakebite Tour Grind come in?
This grind is offered in 46, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60 degrees. That range covers gap wedge through lob wedge, so you can fill the gap under your set pitching wedge and carry two or three wedges that all share the same Tour Grind sole and look.
Is the King Snakebite a forged wedge?
Yes. The Tour Grind version has a forged face for a softer, more connected feel at impact, and it uses a multi-material construction so Cobra can position weight and tune the feel. That soft feedback is a big part of why it appeals to players who flight shots down and control distance by feel.
How much loft gapping should I use across these wedges?
With options every two degrees from 50 up, most golfers do well spacing their wedges four to six degrees apart. A common Tour Grind setup is something like 50, 54, and 58, or 52, 56, and 60, depending on your pitching wedge loft. Match the top wedge to the gap under your irons so you don't leave a big yardage hole.
