I have a fitting on Tuesday with the King Tours, I've casually hit them already and they're just what I'm looking for.  Moving on from my CB/MB combo.  Time for a little more forgiveness😁

Fargiveness…..  lololol.  Sorry I had to..🤣👍🏻

[asKaasa]

Looks like the entire new lineup have nothing but good reviews and feedback. Surprised to not find more threads or posts regarding them.

I am really curious to try them out to change into something more forgiving, still with a shorter blade length.

How are the wedges? Did y'all order the GW? Am moving from 223s and torn between going 5-GW or 5-9 and getting some fresh vokes.

Looks like the cb’s are sold out on the Cobra site.

[FredWomble]

Hit the 6 and P CB at a demo day last weekend. Dang if range rocks didn't feel like marshmallows, ugh (lol). Have had my Mizzy combo set since August 2019 and thought nothing could make me wander away. Gonna be tough to resist.

Has anyone seen the bounce specs for the tours or CB’s?  I’ve been searching but can’t seem to locate it.

I couldn’t find the bounce info either when I purchased mine. I’d guess they are right in the middle for the Tours. They are definitely lower bounce than the i230.

I got the Tours in 5-GW and couldn’t be happier with the GW. For me, it’s 120 yards with normal swing. Went with 52/58 TM Hi-Toe 3 wedges and the gapping is great. I am considering a Forged Tec 4-iron to round out the set.

Don't know the bounce but when I tested these out, the CBs had a much wider sole. My angle of attack is steep so I opted for the CBs. If you're a digger like me, I recommend going in that direction.

Have been testing a full set of CB's and I'm close to playing them full time over my Titleist CB's. Longer and more forgiving. Could damn well toe the nuts off of it and only half a club short when missed that bad with compact blade. I would go as far to say these feel as good as anything I have played in the past (have had many sets of Mizuno's). I have never played or even sniffed a set of Cobra irons but these have to be up there with some of the best.

[mason82]

I’ve had my CBs for three months now. Love them. They are pretty forgiving for the size and I do think they feel awesome. Very high ball flight for me which is what I want. And they look sweet.

[obsession]

Took some pics of my new setup. I went CB 4-P, on LAGP L series shafts (120, stiff), BBFco ferrules, and MCC midsize grips. These pics are of just the 6 iron. Played my first round with them this morning and they felt dreamy! Nice turf interaction, forgiving regardless of where on the face I hit it (within reason), and pretty accurate. I wanted a higher ball flight than my previous setup and this held greens reasonably well. 

[Jmccas]

I have to walk back my comment about these not being very forgiving. I’m working on a swing change to help my ailing back so I’m using all areas of the face. Really positive results on my misses. I normally miss towards the heel but this new swing pushed some  strikes out towards the toe. Distance drop off was minimal.

For those who have hit both the split set CB/MB and the Tours, what made you go with one over the other?

I have both. I originally purchased a flow set of CB/MB which I hit pretty consistently. After years of golfing, I decided to do a fitting and the fitter put me into the tours (I was brand agnostic but still ended up in the Cobras. On the monitor I was a a bit longer with the Tours. For some reason, that didn't seem to translate into course play for me. For me, I just love the top line of the flow set. That little bit of offset on the Tours doesn't work for my eyes, and I get much more draw than I'm used to out of the clubs, so it pushed me to change my alignment slightly. 

 

The Tours are great clubs, and they feel great at impact, I just prefer the CB/MB.

I've hit all 3 in short, mid and long irons, all felt almost identical. I could play all 3. 

If I had to pick one, I'd probably play the tours.

Anyone hit the CB/MB against the new Mizuno JPX 923 Tour Irons? 

 

These two Sets are on my Radar, I will test the Mizunos in the next Days, but no chance of hitting the Cobras.

Had the old Amp Cell Pro Irons and they were phenomenal.

I tried these two back to back. The launch conditions were similar but the JPX Tours delivered higher spin numbers for my swing and setup, on a 6 iron I was getting around 5800 spin whereas the Cobras were closer to 5000. I live in an area with a lot of wind so I opted for the Cobra CBs. I also felt like the feel on the mizunos were softer. The mizzies also had more workability, the Cobras were generally more forgiving. 

[Tree Levino]

I obtained a brand new combo set of these in a trade that was stupid good on my end. CB 6-PW, Tour 5i, FT 4i. Looking forward to hitting them. Hard to think of a cleaner head at address. Very squat little head, thin top line, very minimal offset and satin instead of that horrid chrome. Tried out the MIM tours last year and found them to feel great and be very forgiving. Looking forward to testing.  

[SvenS3]

Interested in hearing your Opinion Cobra CB vs 239 Tour. 

[Puppetmaster]

Recently hit the King Tour vs the T100, T100S, P7MC, and P770, and liked the King Tour the best. I know, not all those are in the same category, but still. 

 

I also own a set of Fly Z+, which I'd like to think were one of the designs that led to the King Tour, and the Kings are a huge improvement over the Fly Z+. And those Fly Z+ were pretty good irons, in my opinion. 

 

Finally, compared the Tours against the CBs side by side and while the Tours look thinner, it might be because they are a tad longer heel/toe. Either way, love both, and targeting a combo set of the two in the near future.

I went with the Cobras (never thought I would play the brand to be honest) and have been a Mizuno guy in my irons for the longest time, flipped to Titleist a few times. Playing a full set of the CB's, excellent forgiveness and the ball flight is so good.

Tested the split set but went full CB's - just too good of an iron across the face. Surprisingly really forgiving.

[Pilk]

Been playing the King Tour MIM 3-GW for the last year and a half after play I210's for 4 years. I've had my eye on the CB or CB/MB set since they came out (Played some of the earlier Pro CB's many years ago).   I like the MIM's but they are a busy looking club that, IMO, can be a little harsh and the sound is a little clunky at times.  

 

Now I'm torn on the King Tour vs. the CB vs. CB/MB.  My brain is trained on a tour/blade look.    The smaller heads keep me focused I guess.  I'm not sure I like where Cobra split the CB/MB.  Seems to me the 7 irons should be a CB but maybe its possible to custom order with a dealer.  

 

Has anyone had success building blend sets different than the Cobra website offers?  

[SvenS3]

I was able to test the CB 7 Iron. Very good and I will order them. The Fitter has only the CB and not the Tour.

 

Has anyone got a comboset 5/6 in the Tour and 7-Pw in the CB?

 

I had a Srixon Zx7 and ZX 5 Combo Set and the extra help in the 5 and 6 Iron was very noticeable in the ZX5.

 

Thats the only point that lets me guessing.

 

What are your thoughts on that? Is there a performance difference between the Tour and CB in the longer Irons? Or did you notice a difference in the Sole Design, Forgiveness etc....?

[C_rad]

Anyone compare the tour vs the mizuno pro 223?

My experience: Tour is slightly smaller, narrower sole, and a little less offset. 223 may be slightly more forgiving, but the sole caused me issues where the Tour seems better for my shallower swing. I also like that the Tours have consistent gapping, where the 223 are progressive like ZX7. I felt like the 223 had gapping issues from 8-PW. I also freaking love the Tour GW(48°), though it can make wedge selection difficult depending on the person. Also the stock 223 shaft, Modus 115, was bizarrely inconsistent for my swing, where I get along great with $-Taper. I wanted to love the 223 but I felt like it was a set without an identity.

I have this exact makeup - Tour 5-6 CB 7-PW. Tours are bent 1° weak.
 

Never had a chance to hit the 5 or 6 in the CB, but the Tours give me that extra confidence in the clubs where I start to feel like I need a little help. Always seem to strike them well and the ball is on a rope. Tours seem just a smidge hotter and more forgiving, but it’s not wildly different nor is there much of a difference in feel out the middle. No issues whatsoever blending the two. 
 

In hindsight I maybe would’ve gone Tour in the 7i as well, but that’s a me thing. 

[SvenS3]

I hit the CB just fine. Couldn't hit it any better. I normally don't have issues with 5/6 Irons. But I saw what the zx5 was capable of in the 5/6 Irons in terms of forgiveness or I should better say in terms of yardage drop off. That was amazing.

 

And that is what I'm looking for. If the Tour isn't a ton of help I would go CB all the way.

 

I read that the Tour is smaller (Topline and sole) than the CB and the Mizuno 223. Is this true? Always thought the CB is smaller than the Tour.

 

I had the 223 in the fitting as well, and it was definitely smaller in the Topline than the CB.
