Cobra King Forged ONE Length Irons Review
Game-Changer or Gimmick?
This is my official review of the Cobra King Forged ONE Length Irons.
I got my hands on these exciting new irons and have used them for several rounds of golf now.
These are my overall thoughts and the performance I saw with them.
When I took the Cobra King Forged ONE length irons to the course I had rather surprising results. I expect to struggle with the short irons because of the longer shafts and pure the long irons because of the shorter shafts. It ended up being the exact opposite. I hit some of the purest and tightest 9-irons and pitching wedges I’ve hit in a long time and found some struggles getting straight and long 5-irons. It kind of threw me for a loop. The more I dug into it, the more I realized that the long irons need that extra length to generate the club head speed I need to get the distance I’m used to hitting with those irons.
One interesting find, especially in the short irons was my ability to hit the tweener shots. There are certain yardage that fall between clubs in my typical set-up. Because of the longer shafts I could de-loft the lesser club and because of the longer shaft I could get those could extra yards.
As a former High School golf coach, I would have loved to have suggested the Cobra King ONE Length irons to about 1/2 of my team. As many golfers are learning the game, they have trouble bottoming out their swing at the same point with every club in the bag. (making solid contact right at the ball) Taking that variable out of the equations would have been immensely valuable for them. If you don’t make consistently good contact with the golf ball, I think these will be a wonderful solution for your game.
As for my game, I would need more than 5 rounds to fully embrace the one-length iron concept. I’ve been playing golf for 32 years and I don’t want to say I’m too old to learn something new, but there is a slight mental hurdle to jump when it comes to hitting a 4 iron that feels more like a 7-iron. I have to admit, a lot of my issue came from trusting the club to get the job done.

Summary
The Cobra King Forged ONE length irons are the real deal, especially in the right hands. They are certainly not for everyone, but for a beginning golfer, especially a young strong one, I think these could really revolutionize their game. If you don’t have 30 years ingrained into your head of how to swing different clubs, then these could be Game Changers for your iron game. They feel great, the head is super solid and forgiving, and if you want one swing, then these are your clubs.
