Cobra King Black Wedge Detailed Review
Design and Technology
The Cobra King Black wedge is designed for players looking for consistency, control and durability. While the basic design of the King Black wedge mirrors that of previous models, it’s new and enhanced finish materials and face design take its performance to the next level.
For players that prefer a black gunmetal finish, but are disappointed with how quickly the finish wears off, the Cobra King Black’s Diamondized Black Metal Finish is nothing short of amazing. Made of 8620 carbon steel, this finish may be the most durable black or gunmetal finish ever made. Instead of simply plating the finish of the wedge onto already existing metal (which leads to faster wear), the BDM is literally permeated into the steel creating a bond that not only looks great but stands the test of time.
While many manufacturers have touted thinner faces for increased distance, trajectory, and overall performance, Cobra has done the opposite. The Cobra King Black wedge features the thickest face of any wedge on the market. Though previous Cobra wedges have featured thicker faces for increased feel, the King Black has moved the thickest part of the face slightly higher on the face to reduce vibration on mishits and provide greater feedback on solid shots.
Additionally, the Progressive Spin Technology in the King Black wedge allows players to optimize spin and trajectory from all yardages for greater consistency and control. On wedges with stronger lofts of 50, 52, and 54 degrees, Cobra’s patented CNC milled grooves are slightly narrower and shallower to optimize consistency in ball flight and distance control on full shots from the fairway. Higher lofted wedges of 56, 58, and 60 degrees feature wider and deeper grooves that allow players to increase spin and control on short shots around the green.
When you want to lower your scores and take your game to another level, the quickest improvements often come inside of 125 yards. As a result, having the right wedges in the bag is paramount. With state-of-the-art design and finish features, the Cobra King Black wedge is an affordable option for all players looking to improve their game.
- Diamondized Black Metal Finish is one of the most durable finishes on the market and does not wear off quickly
- Progressive Spin Technology CNC Milled grooves provide consistent ball flight, spin, and distance control

- There is little that is new with King Black wedge other than the finish compared to previous Cobra models available
