Sole Mates

Cobra Golf, one of the faster growing brands in the equipment industry the past couple of years, is now shipping its new King Cobra C Wedge line, which the company said is designed to fit a wide range of golfers. The C Wedge series consists of Mid-Sole (MS) and Wide-Sole (WS) options.

The Mid-Sole C Wedges, according to Cobra President Jeff Harmet, offers a balance of forgiveness, soft feel and versatility, and are available in five different lofts (50, 52, 54, 56, 60 degrees). The Wide-Sole wedges come in three different lofts (56, 58, 60 degrees) and feature a wider sole width for increased bounce and more forgiveness.

"The C Wedges are designed with wider sole widths to promote greater forgiveness and versatility vs. traditional muscle back wedges and complement today's wider sole irons. These wedges offer the combination of a classic look and feel with cavity back performance benefits," Harmet said.

The slightly oversized body of the new King Cobra C Wedge line, according to Harmet, is constructed from 431 Stainless Steel and features an undercut design with perimeter weighting. Harmet said the design helps position the weight low and in the back of the club head for a low center of gravity and high Moment of Inertia.

The result, Harmet said, is a larger sweet zone, and improved accuracy, forgiveness and control. A vibration-dampening urethane insert provides superior feel.

King Cobra C Wedges (suggested retail price $99) are available with True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts and feature a Cobra Golf Pride Tour Velvet 50D grip. All wedges are available in both right and left hand.
