Cobra King Forged TEC Black Irons Design & Features

The new Forged TEC irons are the game players’ design, delivering precision and accuracy – and the fourth generation design is now available in black.

The key design from previous models is the new five-step forged body and face that the R&D team have come up with in a new refined shaping to the Forged TEC clubhead.

The irons have a thinner topline in the new model, which reduces offset and provides playability and precision while also offering a degree of forgiveness on off-centre ball strikes.

Verdict: Are Cobra Forged TEC Irons any good?

Cobra have worked hard on improving the feel and feedback that golfers want from blade-like irons, and the Forged TEC model certainly achieves that.

The design tweaks have added forgiveness without compromising on the ball striking and shot shaping that this iron set has been all about.

The clever changes to the clubhead that have been made to squeeze out even more distance from this latest generation and the Forged TEC irons are certainly the best yet.
