Gear: Cobra King Tour CB/MB Combo irons
Price: $1,199 with KBS $-Taper 120 steel shafts and Lamkin Crossline grips
Specs: Forged 1025 carbon steel
Available: Feb. 3
Who It’s For: Elite ballstrikers who demand the ultimate in feel and control.
The Skinny: Combining forged cavity-back long irons with muscleback blade scoring clubs, the Cobra King Tour CB/MB Combo set aims to maximize a better player’s ability to shape shots.
The Deep Dive: At some point in most teenagers’ lives, they see something costly, like a sports car or a luxury timepiece, and ask a parent how much it costs.
The cliché answer, invariably, is, “If you have to ask the price then you probably can’t afford it.”
A similar thing can be said of the new Cobra King Tour CB/MB Combo set. If you have to ask if you’re good enough to play golf with these irons, you should probably check out Cobra’s new King Tour or Aerojet irons instead.

Forged in a five-step process using 1020 carbon steel, the Cobra King Tour CB/MB Combo set blends cavity-back 4-, 5- and 6-irons with muscleback blades in the 7-iron through pitching wedge. All seven clubs in the set have a thin topline, virtually no offset and a narrow sole. The clubs have the shortest blade length in the Cobra stable, so if you are looking for forgiveness or an iron that will give you some extra pop from the fairway, you can look elsewhere.

However, if you have a repeatable swing and can generate all the distance you need, the Cobra King Tour CB/MB Combo set can allow you to hit controlled draws and fades, knockdown shots and more. At the same time, golfers will immediately know where on the face they hit the ball, thanks to the softness of the metal.
In addition to the standard blended set, the CB and MB models are each available as full sets in a 3-iron through gap wedge. The CB is available in both left- and right-handed versions, but the MB is only available as a complete set for right-handed players.
