Designed with input from Cobra Tour Staff, new forged irons offer superior feel and workability
CARLSBAD, CA (March 27, 2008) – Cobra Golf introduces the first irons designed and developed with feedback from the Cobra PGA Tour Staff – the new King Cobra Pro CB™ and King Cobra Pro MB™ irons. Engineered from Forged 1020 Carbon Steel, these new irons provide soft, solid feel along with the control and workability that accomplished players desire.
“The new Pro CB and Pro MB irons round out our comprehensive offering of new irons for 2008,” said Jeff Harmet, President, Cobra Golf and Titleist Clubs. “Both of these forged iron models were developed with our PGA Tour staff players, who have already enjoyed success with them this season.”
Cobra’s Tour professionals have been playing the new Pro CB and Pro MB irons since the start of the 2008 season. Geoff Ogilvy captured the recent WGC-CA Championship and utilized the new high-performance muscle-back Pro MB irons to achieve the #1 ranking in Greens in Regulation. Ian Poulter and the newest Cobra staff player Jason Gore also trust the performance of the new Pro MB irons for their success. In February, J.B. Holmes won the FBR Open, hitting more than 70 percent of Greens in Regulation with his Pro CB irons. In addition to Holmes, young guns Camilo Villegas and Kevin Na play the new cavity-back Pro CB irons.
“Accomplished players desire different trajectories, so we provide two technical iron options by adjusting the blade profile, sole and hosel sections of the Pro CB and Pro MB irons for unique, optimal ball flights,” said Scott Rice, Director of Research and Development, Cobra Golf. “The lower center of gravity (CG) in the Pro CB helps slightly increase the ball flight trajectory, while the higher CG in the Pro MB results in a mid-launch and slightly lower ball flight.”
