With great feel and forgiveness, the Cobra KING Tour irons offer golfers both playability and consistency.  Modern looks that reflect its modern technology.

Check out the new 2023 Cobra KING Tour irons HERE

Introduction

Situated nonchalantly between ‘KING’ and ‘TOUR’ on the back of the namesake irons is the real headliner – ‘MIM TECHNOLOGY.’  MIM stands for Metal Injection Molding , a state of the art manufacturing process that allows Cobra to produce club heads with amazing precision, and with uniform metal grain structure that surpasses forgings.  What does the MIM Technology mean to you the golfer?  Keep reading to find out.

The Cobra KING Tour irons have a look that caused me to hesitate on categorization.  The narrow topline and slight offset clearly communicate a pure players irons.  But both a little more length in the blade and a slightly wider sole might cause purists to raise an eyebrow.   If, like me, you find the compact look of blades intimidating, the KING Tour irons should be very appealing.

While the irons are devoid of the bold colors that give Cobra woods identity, the large ‘KING’ on the backside makes a clear statement of the brand.  There’s a lot going on in the cavity, but the chrome and black motif gives it a unified look.   The matte finish on the face and grooves devoid of paint fill give the irons a clean, classic look.

Sound & Feel

The Cobra King Tour irons produced a pleasant medium volume ‘thwack’ that was fairly consistent across the face.  Usually the first note I make, I had to revisit the sound after being enthralled with the soft, satisfying feel .  The irons offered excellent feedback on strike location without ever feeling harsh.

Feel is where the MIM Technology really shines for golfers.  Unlike a forged carbon steel head where the metal is literally pounded to achieve a tight grain structure, the MIM process starts with powdered stainless steel that results in a uniform, ultra tight grain, ensuring a consistent soft feel across the face – and face to face through the set.

Performance

Once I was able to shift my focus from the wonderful feel, I began to note how consistent the ball flights were.  Not only were shots tracking nice mid trajectories, they were landing in a fairly tight grouping.  Even on far less than perfect strikes, the carry was generous – more in line with what I’ve experienced with game improvement irons.

king tour mim reviews

As I mentioned earlier, Cobra designers did a marvelous job at communicating feedback, but they also were able to deliver stability .  The non-harsh feel comes from a vibration dampening TPU insert behind the face.  For stability, team Cobra utilized a tungsten insert in the toe.  Both attributes were executed with precision thanks again to the MIM process.

king tour mim reviews

The Cobra KING Tour irons have lofts that align with today’s players segment .  Spin was on the low side for me.  I attribute that to the KBS $ Taper shafts which are designed to be low spin.  Regardless, the irons offered plenty of workability.   As always, a proper fitting session will be the key to unlocking the full performance potential of the irons.

The Cobra KING Tour irons offer another great option in the players irons category for golfers seeking both feel and forgiveness.  What differentiates the King Tour irons is the advanced manufacturing technique MIM, which Cobra describes as “the most precise way to make a precision iron.”  And even though having ‘Tour’ in the name implies these irons are for better players only, they’re equally appropriate for those aspiring to be such.

Matt: Informative article. I have a friend playing Cobra King irons and loves them. The irons have more forgiveness than their appearance would suggest.

Thank you Matt. Love your stuff.

My golf spy compared this iron to the Pf-2 from New Level.

Can I request a review of the PF-1 and/or PF-2?

Eric appears to be making forged CNC product that is clean, crisp, and rivals the big boys. PF-1 at address, with less offset, looks flawless.

Thanks Matt!

Thanks for the kind comments Bob. We don’t take requests (sorry, reflex from band days) but will check in with New Level.

I’d like to know how these compare to the i210 and p770 in terms of head size and how easy they are to hit. They all have different construction and I’m assuming very different feel. That being said they seem to all sit in a similar category right above the t100/apex tcb etc in terms of forgiveness and ease of use

' src=

We have reviews of the P770 here: https://pluggedingolf.com/2020-taylormade-p770-irons-review-2/ and i210 here: https://pluggedingolf.com/ping-i210-irons-review/

To bad the company is not going to make of this anymore. Just like Greg said a lot of forgiveness on this iron, I just bought this today test it out of the driving range I know I wasn’t making a good contact but dem still flew in the air like crazy. I can hit my P wedge 120.

' src=

I believe and maintain, that Cobra’s technology is far superior to any other brand. It started with the F9 series, which in my view is the best they have ever produced. Great clubs. Pitty I can’t afford them teachers in South Africa gets paid lije crap. Enjoy playing, mates.

I got to try these great looking clubs, bucket list irons. I’m a retired aircraft machinist 65 male with only playing the best comfortable sharp impressive golf anywhere I go.

Could the low spin also be contributed from lower swing speed?

Always a possibility Mat. When I changed shafts after a fitting, spin was excellent.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Review

George Stead

Cobra is in an interesting position in golf right now. It's producing consistently good golf clubs, that produce good numbers at what seem like very fair prices... by modern day standards anyway. With the Speedzone drivers it has something pretty special too given the headlines they are making in the hands of a certain Mr Bryson DeChambeau and the staggering lengths he is hitting golf balls using one, regardless of it's shaft length.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Given the position Cobra is in, to really take it to the next level I believe they need to start producing some great sets of irons too, and doing so consistently year on year. By that I mean stepping up their better player offerings to improve their reputation in this area. Better feeling, better looking, higher performing, solid irons that last and that good ball strikers can get excited about.

Has Cobra Golf made a step in this direction with the new Cobra King Tour irons thanks to MIM technology? Time to find out...

What's It All About?

I first heard about Cobra's new all-singing, all-dancing MIM technology early last year with the King wedge line-up for 2019 but haven't had the chance to put it to the test until now, and to be honest I'm glad I waited until I could do so in a set of irons as opposed to just a wedge. These new Cobra King Tour irons for 2020/21 are what I've been waiting for.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

The big story here is that the King Tour irons are neither forged or cast, unlike all of the other 'similar' irons they are going up against. When I say similar, I mean other better player cavity back irons like: Ping i210s , TaylorMade P7MCs , Titleist T100s and the new Mizuno JPX921 Forged .

Cobra is claiming they have developed a new innovative way of producing irons using MIM technology which stands for 'Metal Injection Molding'. It is said to produce a more precise product which requires fewer steps and less hands-on contact to finalise, leading to more consistent results.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Each iron head is created using a mixture of 304 stainless steel metal powder, which is heated and injected into a mould. The metal is heated to a higher temperature than with forged irons (1340° vs 1200°) and this is said to strengthen the grain structure for a higher level of precision and soft feel similar to that of a carbon steel forging. Taking all of this into account, Cobra claims to have created "a better feel than any forged offering on the market."

Big claim Cobra, big claim. My usual question when I hear about manufacturers using new innovations to create better products than the biggest selling club manufacturers, and the best proven ways to create golf clubs for decades, is why isn't every manufacturer doing it like this if it were the case? Throughout my test, I gave Cobra the benefit of the doubt.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

What Cobra Say...

"We've used our MIM process over the past two years to deliver softer and more precisely-shaped designs in our wedges. Now, in response to demand from better players and our Tour staffers, seeking the same benefits in a full set of irons, our R&D team delivered the King Tour irons."

"These irons are softer than any forged offerings on the market, and like their wedge counterparts, offer better consistency in shaping for more precision shot-making on the course."

Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for Cobra Golf.

I tested these irons in three different scenarios: hitting around 10-15 balls with each iron (5, 7, 9) on the practice range (off a mat), hitting a number of 7 irons on a FSX simulator to analyse the ball data before heading out to play 12 holes at Denton GC in wet and wintery conditions - preferred lies please!

I was mainly looking at the feel of these irons from different lies including fairway, off a mat and in the rough to see how they stacked up to my current forged Ping i210 irons.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

In my opinion, the Cobra King Tour irons are some of the best looking irons I have ever seen. Hopefully the pictures I have taken for this review do them justice, they really do look brilliant from every angle. At first I thought the cavity looked a little more 'game-improvement' than 'better-player' but as I took a closer look my opinion changed.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

They combine classic 'better-player' shaping with a contemporary design in the cavity to give them some serious shelf and 'in bag' appeal. Rock up to the course with these beauties and you're going to be turning heads - no doubt.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Every detail has been crafted with real attention to detail which I love, the heads have been hand polished to produce a beautiful satin finish that really stands out. The shaping and finish reminds me a little of the Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 irons that came out a few years back, there is definitely a classic Wilson iron feel going on here. I think that Cobra has taken a few leaves out of Wilson Staff's book in the iron aesthetics department with the King Tour irons and given their major history in this department, it may serve them pretty well.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Down at the ball, the good looks continued as the King Tour irons kept on ticking boxes. From the first shot to the last during my test I felt they really focused my eye in on the back of the ball, forcing me to concentrate that little bit more. I wanted to hit these irons well, and I think the looks at address played a massive part in making sure I did this.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

If I was rating these irons solely on looks, I'd give them a strong 9 and I can imagine a lot of golfers agreeing with me. They look exactly how a better players iron in 2020 should look like.

As with most 'better player' irons, this is the most important section of the review and given Cobra's huge claims with these irons, this section is more important than ever. Does the MIM technology really feel better than some of the best forged irons out there? Well, to be honest it depends what you categorise 'great feel' in an iron to be. I think each golfer will have a slightly different take on this.

From the first 9 iron I hit on the range with King Tour irons, I was impressed with most characteristics of King Tour irons. How did they feel off the face at impact? I have to say they felt good. Did they feel any better than the Ping i210 irons though? It wouldn't say so to be honest.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

They certainly felt a little different however and this is what I mean, some golfers may find this difference as better, I didn't. It's all down to personal preference. They felt firmer and potentially a little more solid and dare I say it harder off the face when striking the ball. But personally when it comes to feel alone, I couldn't confirm that the King Tour irons are 'better feeling' because of the MIM technology.

One other area of technology that I felt did impress me however was the TPU insert in the cavity. This is a thermoplastic polyurethane insert positioned behind the sweet spot which really is nothing new in golf clubs, most better players performance irons these days have these placed in the insert to again help improve feel. The TPU insert did just that, and as I say I did enjoy the feel of the irons.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Performance

From the three different testing conditions I reviewed these irons in, I have to say performance-wise they were great. I was very impressed with how each club performed when I found the middle of the face and on off-centre strikes.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Forgiveness-wise, there was plenty, which I surprised about, and again I put that down to a couple of things. Firstly the TPU insert just helps to dampen the blow of an off-centre strike and still gives you good feedback and decent results.

Secondly, each iron in this set features tungsten weighting in the toe which is to help position the centre of gravity better behind the sweet spot - not only to help these irons feel great but to add more stability to the head through impact.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Regardless of the great looks and good feel, this is where I felt the Cobra King Tour irons excelled - stability through the strike. On the range I thought the consistency of ball flight and direction was excellent with these irons. I felt like I knew where the ball was going before I had even hit it - which any golfer will know is always a good sign. You have to have confidence in your golf equipment.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

During my indoor testing I hit a couple of errant shots that still performed well and didn't fall off a cliff data-wise, showing that there is still plenty of forgiveness in these heads. Similarly on the course, one of my bad shots is to catch the ball thin and low on the clubface, I did this on occasion during this review and felt the ball flight and performance was still impressive.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

I was impressed by the ball flight overall in fairness, I tend to hit the ball very hit due my attack angle, so to see the ball flight with these irons not being too high was again a positive for me.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Finally, looking at the distances, it's clear that when swinging fairly moderately during indoor testing, the carry distances are pretty impressive too. An average carry distance of 167.8 yards with a 7 irons is slightly above where I would expect a 7 iron to go - usually I'm around the 163-164 yards mark. These irons are clearly hot off the face too and pack a serious punch.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Verdict

I think Cobra have created a great set of irons here. They perform well in all departments, look great, and have a element of uniqueness about them that I like too.

My only reservation with these irons and the reason I won't be giving them five stars is because I don't believe they feel better than forged irons. They feel good, solid, and still pretty soft across the face but still not like a forged iron to me, and that is what Cobra is directly claiming.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

Would I Use Them?

Yes I would, I really enjoyed testing these irons and hit some great shots in to greens doing so, I felt they had a great deal of accuracy and that is ultimately what you want from a players iron.

I think if you choose to add these irons to your testing list then no doubt will you be impressed by the looks and performance. Cobra are certainly moving in the right direction here and at £999 for 4-PW that's expensive, but still pretty competitive in today's better player iron market.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons

  • Brilliant modern looks
  • Stable through the hitting zone
  • Soft-ish feeling
  • Forgiving on off-centre hits for a players iron
  • Hot off the face giving good carry numbers
  • Cobra Connect by Arccos in smart grip to help better analyse data
  • Don't quite live up to Cobra's claims
  • Better players will probably stick to forged irons as it's what they know and love.

Cobra King Tour MIM Irons Review | We Did NOT Expect This!

Alex from GolfMagic went to GraysGolf in Lewes to test out the NEW Cobra King Tour MIM Irons, and got some incredibly surprising results.

king tour mim reviews

Cobra Golf recently announced the launch of the new KING Tour irons that feature Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Technnology and given how successful the brand has been over the past few years, we couldn't wait to get our hands on them and put them to the test.

There's no question that Cobra has quickly become one of the main players in the golf industry and have arguably launched the best driver of the year in the SPEEDZONE driver, but there was definitely some work that needed to be done in the iron department.

The new KING Tour MIM irons are certainly unique, given that they feature a technology like no other in the iron market, but how did they perform when GolfMagic's Alex Lodge put them to the test at GraysGolf in Lewes?  Watch the video below for our full review of the new irons from Cobra.

THE DETAILS

Building off the popularity of its KING MIM Wedges, COBRA is applying  MIM Technology  to a full set of irons for the first time and reinventing the way premium irons are designed and manufactured.

MIM manufacturing produces a more precise finished product utilizing fewer steps and minimal hands-on post-process polishing, unlike traditional forging and casting processes.

The final step is hand-polishing to deliver the perfect satin finish.

While many forgings require moderate polishing to remove excess materials, MIM technology requires only subtle polishing to ensure the shape is consistent from set to set. 

In addition to the MIM process, the new KING TOUR Irons incorporate the following technologies that drive precision, forgiveness, and excellent feel in a players cavity back iron:

- Tungsten Weighting:  A tungsten weight in the toe better positions the center of gravity behind the hitting zone to deliver the purest, most precise shots with added stability that keeps the ball on target.  

- TPU Insert:  A thermoplastic polyurethane insert is positioned behind the hitting zone to damp vibrations for a soft and buttery feel at impact.     

- COBRA CONNECT Technology:  The COBRA CONNECT, Powered by Arccos™ system utilizes Smart grips on each iron that sync with the Arccos Caddie app to give users the ability to track their shot data so they can improve faster.  The purchase of each set of KING TOUR Irons includes a 90-day free trial of the Arccos Caddie app.  

king tour mim reviews

SPECIFICATIONS & AVAILABILITY

The KING TOUR Irons with MIM Technology are available in a 4-PW set make-up in right hand only, while a 3-iron and Gap Wedge complement are available via custom order.

Each KING TOUR Iron is equipped with a steel  KBS  $-Taper 120 shaft in the golfer’s choice of stiff or regular flex.

In addition, each iron comes with a  Cobra  Lamkin Crossline Connect grip in Black.

A wide selection of shaft and grip upgrades are also made available through custom order. The stock steel set (4-PW) retails for  £999  and will be available beginning  October 30  from   COBRA’s entire network of off-course retailers/custom clubfitters.

king tour mim reviews

GOLFMAGIC VERDICT

The new Cobra KING TOUR MIM irons are extremely unique, especially in terms of design. 

Irons in the 'players' category typically have a very minimalistic and classic design, but the KING TOUR MIM irons definitely have a more commercial feel to them and look more like a game improvement club.

That doesn't mean they don't look great, it's just a matter of opinion, but once you put these irons to the test you get a feel for why they don't look as 'simple'.

What you don't expect from irons in this category is much forgiveness, which is what completely took us by surprise with these irons and explained the more complex design.

They feel fantastic off the clubface and off-centre hits still produced some really good numbers.

With a 7-iron, Alex was getting a carry distance of 179 yards and a total distance of 185 yards, combined with a spin rate of 6600rpm.

Of course, everyone's numbers will be different, but Alex was extremely happy with these results and he explains in the video that these irons will suit a range of golfers. So if you're in the market for a new set of irons this winter, make sure you put the Cobra King Tour MIM irons to the test yourself.

What we say...

The new cobra king tour irons use the metal injected molding (mim) technology found in the brand’s wedges to create a soft-feeling, precisely-shaped players’ irons that deliver unmatched consistency through the set..

Cobra say they have created an iron that is “softer than any of the forged offerings on the market” by using their MIM technology in the new King Tour irons.

RELATED:  Cobra King TEC Hybrid

After two years of using the tech to create softer, more precise heads in their King MIM wedges, Cobra Golf have launched the King Tour irons with MIM Technology, a process which they claim creates unmatched consistency throughout the set.

The new players’ irons combine a tour cavity back with precise shaping and the incredibly soft feel that better players desire. This is the first time Cobra have applied the Metal Injected Molding technology to a full set of irons and they say it has reinvented the way premium irons are designed and manufactured.

RELATED:  Tested: Best Forged Irons

What is Molten Injection Moulding (MIM) Technology?

Each iron head is created using a mixture of 304 stainless steel metal powder, which is then heated and injected into a mould.

During the sintering process, the metal is heated to a higher temperature than forgings (1340°C vs. 1200°C), resulting in a tighter-aligned grain structure that delivers the highest level of precision and soft feel, rivalling that of carbon steel forgings.

The final step is hand-polishing to deliver the perfect satin finish. While many forgings require moderate polishing to remove excess materials, MIM technology requires only subtle polishing to ensure the shape is consistent from set to set.

What other tech is found in the Cobra King Tour Irons?

A tungsten weight in the toe helps to position the centre of gravity behind the hitting zone to aid forgiveness and stability at impact to help keep the ball on target.

There’s also a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) insert behind the hitting zone to help dampen vibrations and create that soft, buttery feel you expect from a players’ iron at impact.

What are the Cobra King Tour Irons shaft and grip options?

The irons come with stiff or regular flex steel KBS $-Taper 120 shafts as standard, along with a black Cobra Lamkin Crossline Connect grip. Upgraded shafts and grips are available through custom-fitting.

Verdict: Cobra King Tour Iron

What Cobra have created in the Tour is a great looking soft feeling players’ iron. The new MIM (Metal Injection Moulding) technology story behind how it’s made and why the construction method is better and more consistent will be lost on many, but it surely won’t be long before more irons are produced this way.

We didn’t tell our test pro, until the test session was over, that the Tour heads weren’t forged, he was shocked and felt he’d never have spotted. It means what Cobra say about heating material up so it’s hotter than a forged iron, which then aligns the grain structure more closely, certainly stands up.

Cobra King Tour Iron

We love the heads straight lines, compact size and really simple and elegant overall look. The set flow beautifully, and really good players will love how there appears to be tiny amounts of offset in the short irons.

With so many golfers trying to decide between TaylorMade’s P770 and the Mizuno JPX921 Forged irons this year we’d be doing you a disservice if we didn’t say these should also be on any short list that contains those two models.  

Some will say the chrome finish is very bright and shiny, but some players also love that super traditional look, and obviously overtime it will wear. Cobra haven’t made a full forged players’ iron for a while, trust us this one has been well worth waiting for.

What Cobra Golf say about the King Tour Irons with MIM Technology

“We’ve used our MIM process over the past two years to deliver softer and more precisely-shaped designs in our wedges,” said Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for Cobra.

“Now, in response to demand from better players and our Tour staffers, seeking the same benefits in a full set of irons, our R&D team delivered the King Tour Irons.

“These irons are softer than any forged offerings on the market, and like their wedge counterparts, offer better consistency in shaping for more precision shot-making on the course.

“While soft feel and consistency are important in the short-game, optimizing these attributes throughout an entire iron set will give golfers better performance across a wider range of shot selections.”

For the low handicapper, this is one of the best all-round packages we’ve tested this year. Some may hit the ball too far versus their traditionally lofted set, but the forgiveness and consistency on offer in such a compact, elegant package is noteworthy.

Near flawless looks

Solid, stable feel

Consistent flight

May send the ball too far for some

Cobra is well and truly back among the best golf irons for 2023 with three King models, the MB, CB and Tour, all offering something a little different for the better player. The most playable of which is the King Tour, which the brand says is aimed at 7-handicappers right down to tour players, proven by the fact that Rickie Fowler has a set in the bag. This versatility has helped this iron earn a place in our 2023 Editor's Choice .

VIDEO:  Joel Tadman tests and compares the leading low handicap irons in 2023

The King Tour has a 1025c forged body and a CNC Milled undercut, which removes weight from the center and repositions it to the heel and toe. You’ll also see the TPU insert, which dampens vibrations, helped by an aluminium co-molded medallion on the back. Visually, this iron is a stunner. It manages to be both relatively understated while offering plenty of shelf appeal, which is no mean feat. 

The clean lines and classic profile really suits the eye at address and the slightly larger dimensions means it inspires a little more confidence than most tour-played irons without looking chunky. Versus the King Tour MIM it replaces, the new King Tour has a shorter blade length and is a little stronger in loft - 32° in the 7-iron versus 34 in the prior model.

Cobra King Tour Iron address

So I was expecting this iron to go a little further and it delivered during testing, indoors on the Foresight Sports GCQuad launch monitor with Titleist Pro V1x golf balls . The feel off the face is livelier than most compact cavity back irons married with a dense, soft feel at impact. Carries were consistently hovering around the 168-yard mark and with good accuracy too. Once I got my bearings, I was able to hit repeatable shots with this club. I quite liked the ball flight too, it came out low with a healthy amount of spin, which gave me really good control of the trajectory as well as plenty of stopping power into firm greens.

Cobra King Tour Iron testing

Compared to the best irons for low handicappers , this iron offers high forgiveness levels. It was noticeably playable out on the course, producing ample carry when I caught shots a little thin and I was able to hit soft draws and fades without the ball curving too much when I didn’t execute the shot as planned. The margin for error on offer will please everyone but the extra distance will certainly appeal to good players that have seen the amount of time they’re able to dedicate to playing and practicing diminish.

I'm probably 10 rounds in with mine.  Still the best irons I have ever played.  Feel great, look great and are very forgiving for the profile. They are a little longer heel to toe than some other mode

Really curious about these. They look gorgeous. I just got a set of TM P-770s, but am wondering if these King Tours might be even better.

I am curious about T100 comparisons too since they seem like the closest comp. If any of the testers have Cobra experience it would also be helpful to compare vs. the previous Forged Tours and/or the still current CBs from the King Forged CB/MB blended set. I'm searching for something a little bit more forgiving than my CBs with my next set.

From my personal experience the MIM's have less offset and a slightly smaller top line. The MIMs are slightly less forgiving because of this. As far as feel/sound goes, everyone is going to interpret that differently. I am currently gaming Miura TC201/MB101 so I'm on the super soft side of the spectrum. The MIM are great feeling irons, but don't offer that same "squishy" sort of feeling a good forged iron can produce. However, I wouldn't hold that against the MIMs. They are phenomenal in my opinion. I think they nailed the looks. I like the profile a lot. The T100 are a good iron as well, but in my eye, they have just a little too much offset and I'm not a huge fan of the way the top line goes into the hosel. These are just my opinions though. My golfers have had great results with the MIM. Truly a great iron. Unfortunately, I think a lot of golfers will not give them a shot because they don't say forged on them and because of Rick Shiels review. I would have zero issues gaming them. Cobra is bringing a great line in 2021.

Hey everyone! I was luckily chosen and ordered 4-GW with KBS $ Taper 120 Black. Big thank you to @GolfWRX  and @COBRA PUMA GOLF  for putting this on and to @knudson81  for coordinating the behind the scenes details. I am a 4 handicap, 8 iron 145-150yds kind of guy. You will typically catch me walking on the weekends at Torrey Pines or Balboa in San Diego, CA. I actually currently play the Cobra F9 driver and SpeedZone hybrid and have played the Cobra PUR wedges till they wore out. I am very familiar with Cobra and enjoy there innovative offerings. 

When I found out I was chosen I immediately went to the local store tested out a bunch of shafts and it was between modus 120 and $ Taper. I chose $ Taper due to it being an in stock option. I ordered 2 flat and was pleasantly surprised to see a 2F sticker on every club which I thought was an excellent touch. I like the attention to detail and the reassurance my specs were followed. Ive read some other manufacturer builds were all over the place but I had these checked and everything was spot on. I ordered mine without the Accros and without came in similar length to Titleist T100 or TaylorMade P770 stock lengths.

My current irons were the iconic Bridgestone J15cb, I recently did post how I found a minty set and how I fell in love again. Those were and still are one of the best irons ever made in my opinion. The few things I did not like about them were the blade length and the ultra wide soles. One of the reasons I was super excited about the MIM Tour irons were the size. To me they are just right from a blade length perspective, not too small like the Cobra King CB or not too long like the Bridgestone J15cb. They sit somewhere in the middle which is just right for me. Also the top line is nice and thin and the soles are much slimmer than the J15cb. Offset is also huge for me I cannot stand looking down at a lot of offset and these look perfect!! Check, Check, Check, Check! The J15cb do edge them out in the cavity looks. I prefer a clean look and the MIM tour is just too busy. I would prefer a subtle Cobra logo vs a gigantic KING, some satin or black finish and I would be super happy. They still look great in the bag though!!

Feel is very important to me. As much as I wanted to love the new Taylormade P770's the sound and feel were a deal killer for me. Clicky and hard. No thanks!! The reason I mention that is because these MIM Tour irons are often in head to head comparisons. I did post also recently how I went in for the new Callaway X Forged CB's and tried these on a whim and these blew them out of the water in sound and feel as well. I honestly can't believe these are not forged. They sure sound and feel like they are. So I guess if I can get the cast durability and forged feel. Why not right? 

Performance:

When it all comes down to it, the irons need to perform. My first round was at Balboa which is target golf. Solid iron play and precision is rewarded. The one thing I really took away from these irons was the dispersion was unreal. I hit a ton of greens and I felt really comfortable from the get go. Balboa is not a long course so short and mid irons got a work out and they performed admirably. My distances were on par with my norms maybe a touch longer. If you are looking for the longest irons these aren't the direction. If you want consistent distances with slight gain and no crazy flyers yet better dispersion look this way. I did a hit a few long irons and noticed they were very comfortable to hit and forgiving probably due to the tungsten in the toe. Again not to be a broken record but the dispersion again was the star. I also think they are a great pairing with KBS $ Taper. Another interesting thing I noticed was an increase in spin. I had quite a few that spun back more than usual so I was very happy to see that. If I can get more spin but similar or more carry distance that is a win win. 

I have two rounds scheduled for this weekend and will be putting the long irons more into play so I will report back on rounds 2/3. Before I was ever even chosen for this you can look back and already see my organic interest in these irons and I was impressed early with just demoing the 6 iron. Overall, so far so good!! If you are looking at Taylormade P770, Callaway X Forged/Apex Pro, Titleist T100, Srixon ZX7 you really need to try these out!! These were so good I already sold my Bridgestone J15cb's after one round!! I can see the potential in these and they check so many boxes. More testing this weekend but feel free to ask me any questions. 

Enjoy some of the pics I took.

Great looking irons and looking forward to reading the reviews. I am a one length player, but these certainly grab attention and hopefully if the MIM tech is legit it will filter its way into the One series. That said it looks like 3D may steal that show..

Great write up @mtex22 . Excited to read the other reviews, and see how they play after a few rounds. 

@mtex22...Nice to here your comparison to the Bridgestone J15cb’s.  I’ve had my J15cb’s for 3 years going on 4 and they’ve been my favorite irons to date.  Not planning on changing since my irons are still in really good shape, but the Cobra MIM Tour’s are intriguing.  Seeing in your review that you experienced better dispersion with the Cobra’s is nice to hear.  Thanks for the write up.  Looking forward to hear about your rounds 2&3.

I'm probably 10 rounds in with mine.  Still the best irons I have ever played.  Feel great, look great and are very forgiving for the profile. They are a little longer heel to toe than some other models in this range but that doesn't bother me and actually prefer it.  I have found every Miura iron I have ever hit to be very firm feeling.  I've played 501, 5005, 101 and some others.  To me the MIM feel better.  I was a Master Fitter for PXG too and have had probably 100 sets of irons in my lifetime.  These are my favorite.

Wow, that says a lot. Damnit I'm so sad they didn't release these in a single-length set. Would have absolutely loved to give them a shot. Wonder how they'd combo with my blueprints. How do you find the long irons to play? Good height/spin?

I hit the ball medium to high so no issues whatsoever for me. Very playable. I hope they make a one length version. I want to give it a go in 3H, 4-9 @ 37.5” and 45-60 @ 35.5” for my Cleveland’s. 

I’ve played blades for 20 years of my life and the blueprints are tiny and didn’t care for the way they felt. Go all in. 😉

That's great! A lot of my golfers love the MIMs and they are a killer iron for sure. Like I mentioned, we are all going to interpret sound/feel differently. I prefer the feel of my Miura over the MIM, but I don't want that to take anything away from the MIMs. It shouldn't mean anything other than that's my personal preference. 

Hey guys!  I was very excited to be picked to be a part of the   demo’ing   process of the King Tour   irons   .     I’m   a   46   years   old  dentist in Greenville, SC.   I’m   ,   very tall, 6’7” to be precise, and have a very specific set of specs designed for an aging big guy.  I play golf weekly at the Greenville Country Club, which features two courses, Chanticleer a nd Riverside.   Chanticleer is a very demanding course, while Riverside is a more member friendly design.   I was a +1 for about 5 years until the birth of my first child.  Long story short, being a husband, father, and dentist have taken priority over golf, and my handicap has risen to a 3.  I hardly ever practice, and hitting balls usually only   happens 30-45 minutes before my weekly round.  I have been gaming the P7TW 4-PW for the last 2 years, and while I still love them, they require a certain amount of skill that I   don’t have anymore.  I   don’t   see myself putting in the time while my girls are   young, so I started my search for a similar looking iron with added forgiveness.   I ordered 4-PW with KBS TOUR 105 stiff shafts 1.5” longer, with Golf Pride Tour Velvet .580 round with 3

    It was   un fortunately pouring rain the day my irons arrived, so I had to wait until the next   morning   for some range time.   I was literally the on ly one   at the range because of college football Saturday.   Weather was 50 degrees and sunny. I have watched all the YouTube reviews by Shiels, Crossfield,   etc … and all of them loved the soft feel except   for   Rick Shiels.   I was eager to see if the MIM technology was as soft as advertised.   First impression outdoors was that the irons looked stunning.  I really like the chrome against the black.  I started wit h my normal routine and worked my way from pitches and chips with a wedge, all the way up to full 4 iron shots.   I   wouldn’t   say   the feel is like a   forged   club , but not a cast either.  It was   definitely soft   and pleasing.   Almost feels like the ball sticks on the face for a bit longer.   Big fan of the feel , and totally disagree with Shiels.   After playing blades for a while, these irons were not intimidating t o hit.   Most shots were in my normal window or slightly higher, and I believe they were going slightly longer than my normal P7TW.  Like   most golfers , I feel like I can really hit almost any irons in the 8-PW, but the King Tours   6-PW   were much easier to hit than my blades.   Of course   I had some bad contact and swings, but the ball was still flying a good way.   The long irons   is   where I saw the most improvement.  They were flying higher than my normal window and   straighter than my usual   ballflight .   The thicker sole seems to cut through turf well and I know it helped with the added forgiveness over my current irons.   I also found them   pretty easy   to flight shots, although I wasn’t able to draw or fade shots as readily.   The higher   sw ingweight s   only seemed to be an issue after pounding balls for 45 minutes.  If anything, I felt myself taking deeper divots, and got ver y   little thin shots.  All in all, I had a   really good   range session   for the first time hitting   these   irons.  

PERFORMANCE (COURSE):

F ast forward   about  a   week to yesterday’s round.   Was playing at Chanticleer   around noon and   had   minimal time to warm up before the round.   Again   It was   in the 50s,   and sunny.  Not bad for a   mid December   morning.  

Warmed up   very   quickly and hit it   pretty solid .  Some of my bu ddies   hit   the 7 iron and   commented on how good they looked .   First hole was a 430   yd Par 4 into a one club wind.  Hit a solid drive leaving myself 167 into the pin.  We felt it was playing about 180   bc   of the wind and the temperature,   so I was right at the   max of my 6 iron.  Decided to hit a   chocked up   5 iron just   to make sure I got it there .  Proceeded to flush it over the green for a crowd-pleasing opening bogey.  L o ng irons are just so easy to hit, with a mid- high trajectory for me, and v ery little turn.   I   don’t   know how many times I have showed up with 5 minutes to spare, have hit some putts, driven into the first fairway, only to hit a horrible first iron shot short or bladed.  Honestly, I was excited that I hit it so solid , and   wasn’t   upset at the bogey.   Next hole was a   downhill  140   yard Par 3, which I would normally hit a 43* P7TW 9 iron in the winter. I decided to hit the 45* King PW and hit   a   mid trajectory   shot,   pin high, about 20 feet right.   I’m   not going to go through the whole round, but the irons re ally gave me a ton of confidence. I really got used to playing them quickly and by the end of the round, I felt like   I’d   been playing them for a while.  Had a couple of bad swings and a really badly fatted wedge, but managed to stay in the   mid 70s . For instance,   I   killed   a   drive on the par 5  17th, but had 1 8 5 into the hole from a severe   upsloped   lie. I hit a nice ,   slightly   drawing   5 iron just past the pin for an eagle.   Of course   I missed it, but I don’t   know if I would have   had the confidence to   hit the P7TW from that lie.   I am a big fan.  

I think Cobra has been flying under the radar for a while but have always made quality products.  With the addition of Bryson and his huge weight, strength, and driving distance gains,   they will hopefully gain even more popularity.   I’m   seeing more ads and I hope they get more play from consumers, because I personally found these irons to be legit.  I can see my handicap going lower just from the ability to hit the ball more solid.   I feel like these are still an iron designed for a single to low   double digit   handicapper , because they do require a lot of skill to hit the center of the clubface ,   and the lack of offset may be intimidating to some.  But I think the MIM technology works great for feel, and the looks are stunning.   Let’s   be honest, looks is what attracts you first to a set of irons.  If you hate the way it looks and the way it sets up to the club, the odds are you   aren’t   going to game them. These irons make me more curious about the MIM wedges and that will be the next thing I check out and demo.   I would again like to thank   Golfwrx   and Cobra Golf for making this happen, and   knudson   for helping with all the details and keeping great communication.  If anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me or ask on this thread.  And if I’ve left anything out, I will be happy to add more details that I may have forgotten.I will post more as I play more rounds to update my progress.  Thanks again.

@csiachos That was one of the hardest reviews to read. Glad you were picked but man, maybe a little organization there. 

@mtex22 Good to see a San Diegan get picked to review. Balboa is a good spot to test any irons as well. Looking forward to a follow up. 

I finally got a chance to hit the 7 iron at the range yesterday. I will preface by saying I have been a big Cobra fan for a while and given the looks, potential additional forgiveness compared to my King Forged CBs, and my comfort with their prior lines of irons (I love these CBs, and the Forged Tours also feel amazing), these MIMs seem right up my alley.

Looks-wise I really like what they have built. The at-address pics as shown above look amazing to me; slightly longer heel to toe than my King Forged CBs, with a slightly bigger but still small topline, and less offset (at least visually to me) than the T100s; I would have no issue transitioning from my smaller CBs to these for some additional forgiveness. The cavity is a little bit busy for my taste, but not a big deal. 

For some reason Cobra only gave the Golfmart 1 stiff (stock $taper 120, which was in-use) and 1 X-stiff (Modus 120) shaft for people to try. Not a huge deal, but this is at one of the highest traffic golf stores in the country (Del Mar, CA with an adjacent grass driving range that gets heavy use year-round), so it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity there relative to the other big 5 companies that offer several shaft options to this particular store. 

I tried it with the Modus 120 X since it was my only option. I hit probably 25 shots with it, alternating between it and my CB 7 iron (which has $ taper 130). The MIM performed, hitting all the right numbers for me, and did seem to offer a bit more forgiveness out toward the toe given the extra blade length. Feel-wise I was disappointed, though. It wasn't even close to my CBs, and for that matter the T100s which I tried a few weeks back. I had quite a few shots where I felt like I hit it well, hit the right numbers carry & ball speed wise, but the strike still felt kind of harsh; not bad, but definitely not aligned with the Cobra marketing claims. Maybe I was just consistently missing the sweet spot toe-side because of the longer blade length and they are just much more forgiving than my CBs? If I had only hit like 5 shots I could definitely believe that, but I hit over 20 including a few that really felt like good swings and gave me all my right numbers, so I'm skeptical. These are out of the running for me.

On 12/10/2020 at 3:39 PM, SUMM1T said:   From my personal experience the MIM's have less offset and a slightly smaller top line. The MIMs are slightly less forgiving because of this. As far as feel/sound goes, everyone is going to interpret that differently. I am currently gaming Miura TC201/MB101 so I'm on the super soft side of the spectrum. The MIM are great feeling irons, but don't offer that same "squishy" sort of feeling a good forged iron can produce. However, I wouldn't hold that against the MIMs. They are phenomenal in my opinion. I think they nailed the looks. I like the profile a lot. The T100 are a good iron as well, but in my eye, they have just a little too much offset and I'm not a huge fan of the way the top line goes into the hosel. These are just my opinions though. My golfers have had great results with the MIM. Truly a great iron. Unfortunately, I think a lot of golfers will not give them a shot because they don't say forged on them and because of Rick Shiels review. I would have zero issues gaming them. Cobra is bringing a great line in 2021.

Wait....you're saying that Rick Sheils can actually influence golf club sales?   

That's  hilarious.   You know who influences   my  club purchases? Nobody but  me.

king tour irons.docx

I think Rick Shiels, Mark Crossfield, and all the YouTube reviewers do help sales.  Especially if you can't get your hands on clubs prior to buying.  Why do you think OEMs are sending them free sets to demo and review?  Why did Cobra do this with us?  Each to their own.  I watch their videos to see what they have to say, but I would never buy a product based solely on their comments.

Absolutely. Most of the major YouTube golf channels will and do influence sales. Watch WTB ads after TXG does a shaft/club review. You'll instantly see dozens of WTB's for the things they try. How much does Rick Shield influence, that's another question and one I can't answer.

He obviously influences sales. Or these companies would not send him pre embargo stuff to try. Saying he does not influence sales is just silly. We can disagree to what extent he influences but there is at least some sway.

for sure. I was just backing you up. 

Round 2/3 Update: 

Getting really grooved with the irons. I know I spoke of dispersion the first time, well that continued but I am also starting to see some solid distance. Normal swings get me where I need to be. I used the long irons quite a bit and easily getting the distances I am used to but really getting more stopping power. I used to play Modus 105 and they were great shafts but man they were too low spin I was not getting the ball to stop. This combo of MIM Tour with $ Taper 120 gets me the same carry distances but the ball is staying close to where it lands. I am absolutely loving the increased spin!! The greens in San Diego at least where I play are really fast right now so I am really noticing a difference in spin. I took a pic of a nice struck 7 iron from 162 normally that would bounce to the middle back but it stayed very close to the pin.

I used the 5 iron quite a bit and really had some high solid shots with a strong ball flight, my confidence is really growing with the long irons already there 7 iron down! Oh and the gap wedge is a weapon for me, from the first swing with it just dialed in. Overall the distances are very consistent with no weird hot random flyers, it's what you want in your irons!! Predictability. The blade length is just perfect to my eye on all clubs! Just right.

I don't even need to mention the feel every well struck shot feels incredible!! I don't like loud, clicky or harder feeling and it is none of that. It's soft but not mushy if that makes sense. It does feel different when you do not hit the center so you do get that instant feedback which is very important to me. 

Check these out before you make a decision folks!!

IMG_7929.jpeg

Huge thank you to Cobra! I was ecstatic to be chosen! These clubs arrived last week for me but I had to be out of town so I will be touching these beauties today or tomorrow and giving my initial reactions! 

I am supposed to play at the beach this weekend, so I'll hopefully be giving another playing review sometime early next week.

do you think the feel could have been related to the shaft? you don't have X in your CBs right? feel is so subjective, just interested in your experience compared to everyone else you says they feel good. I play the same irons as you and am considering these or the new MB/CB when it comes next year

Rick shiels: cobra king tour irons review.

Cobra Golf have announced their new Cobra King MIM Tour irons (due for release Oct 30) and, in this video, Rick Shiels heads out to The Marriott Worsley Park Golf & Country Club to review the sticks in an on-course test.

In Rick's honest opinion, have Cobra managed to develop a 'great' players' iron option? Or do they sit more in the 'good' bracket when compared to some other competitors' iron options?

Check out the video below for more.

Cobra introduces new 2021 King Tour irons with MIM technology

king tour mim reviews

It’s been quite a while (three-plus years) since we have seen any new players irons from Cobra Golf. The Rev33 “Rickie iron” was teased out over the last year, but the focus has mainly stayed on its Forged Tec line, which has done well in the very competitive players distance category.

So why the long wait?

cobra-king-tour-mim-irons-2021

According to Cobra’s VP of R&D Tom “TO” Olsavsky it was for a very specific reason…

“A long time ago we had actually planned it to launch at the end of 2019 as we usually try to launch players irons in the fall. Between COVID-19 delays and the new breakthrough innovation MIM process, it took us a little longer but it’s been worth the extra time, player feedback has been amazing so we are confident it will succeed.”

Introducing new 2021 Cobra King Tour irons

Cobra King Tour MIM 7-iron – cavity view

Cobra King Tour MIM 7-iron – face view

Metal Injection Molding AKA MIM is a term we have heard a few times over the past year. Cobra just recently implemented this process into its MIM wedge line. Essentially, it’s a process that allows OEMs to fine-tune a club heads shape and spec to the nth degree all while dialing in the softest feel possible. Seems awesome for a wedge and even better for an iron. To make it really easy to understand, it’s not cast, it’s not forged, its MIM.

The multi-material 1025 iron head has a tungsten weight inserted into the toe section that dials in the CG directly to the sweet spot. This practice is very popular—and almost essential at this point—Cobra has done this in the past with its previous players irons and it was first introduced as a head weight adjustment for Rickie Fowler years ago.

The final step is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) insert to ensure impact gives off that “Muscle Back” softness at impact, a good way for traditional players to try new tech and not sacrifice the familiar softness of a forged blade.

Who is it for?

According to Olsavsky

“The King Tour iron is designed for the range of Tour players to single-digit handicaps. It slots in nicely between the pure MB type irons and Players Distance. It’s also a slight merger between Forged Tour and Forged CB shapes, so hoping to cover both players that would have chosen one of these 2 irons.”

The new 2021 Cobra King Tour has a slightly shorter blade from the previous King Forged Tour iron based on comments from staff, the top line has been thinned out (a hair) and offset was increased to satisfy staff feedback.

According to Cobra Director of Tour Operations Ben Schomin

“The initial shape was developed years ago in the AMP Cell Forged iron and then transitioned with a few tweaks into the King Forged Tour. The shape in general was always well liked, but there was a common theme among R&D/marketing employees and players that the long iron blade lengths were a little long from heel to toe. We made some design changes to the MIM Tour iron that addressed blade length along with a few other feel enhancing tweaks. Overall it is a very eye pleasing shape.”

To make it really uncomplicated: the new 2021 Cobra King Tour is a simple, compact player cavity back designed to do its job. Cobra irons have always gone through the turf well, and now has a softer feel thanks to the MIM process. Players will get the MB feel in a CB iron.

Cobra doesn’t have the biggest Tour presence in the world, but it does have some VERY unique minds to pick from for R&D.

“Like all of our new gear, we love to get input from our staff. In this case, having players like Jason Dufner, Rickie Fowler and others giving specific feedback is always an integral part of the process. For example, Duf is as knowledgeable about what makes a good club as anyone out there. If he responds well to shape or feel we know we are in a good place.”  -Ben Schomin

And we had to ask about BAD…Is this something Bryson would put in play?  

“At this time there is no plan to make one length out of this head. But who knows, if he gets fired up to play them we will make it happen. He seems to be doing fine with what he has in the bag now, lol.” -Ben Schomin

2021 Cobra King Tour irons: Overall

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, these days any product that hits the market will be (for the most part) superb. Like its competitors, Cobra is offering a simple yet elegant players CB that will hold water with anything else.

The real question goes back to the players themselves: What are you looking for in your irons? Is it more distance (hopefully not), precision, turf interaction, curb appeal? We all respond to different parts and now more than ever there are options to satisfy your heart and your hands. This new Cobra iron has everything a player would want. So, get fit, and put ’em to the test.

king tour mim reviews

Its Rick’s personality that sells his youtube channel. I’d be willing to bet he is no better than a 2-4 HDCP, which is good, but nothing special. As far as his video production skills go, its YOUTUBE, who cares. Seeing new products is what I find to be fun and interesting.

Tech Overview

While traditional irons utilize a 4 step forging process, the KING irons add a fifth step to deliver exceptional soft feel that better players demand. Each iron is crafted and 5-step forged from 1025 carbon steel for a more uniform grain structure and precise shaping.

A key to the enhanced forgiveness of the TOUR irons are the CNC milled undercuts in the back of each iron, which allow weight to be repositioned to lower CG for improved launch conditions, and more stability on off center hits.

The CNC milled cavities are filled with a TPU material and topped with an aluminum co-mold medallion, which both damp vibrations for a more pleasing sound and feel at impact.

North West's performance as Simba in 'The Lion King' concert sparks 'nepotism' backlash

king tour mim reviews

North West recently took the stage for a performance in a "Lion King " anniversary concert, but the internet isn't roaring with applause.

The young media personality, daughter of Kim Kardashian and Ye (formerly Kanye West), made her Hollywood Bowl debut on Friday and Saturday with her performance as Simba in "Disney's The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event," which featured live performances of the film's songs from cast members of the 1994 original, 2019 remake and Broadway musical.

After being introduced by Jason Weaver, who sang as Simba in 1994's "The Lion King," West delivered a spirited performance of "I Just Can't Wait to be King." The 10-year-old, decked out in a Simba-inspired zip-up hoodie and fuzzy headpiece by ERL , excitedly sang and danced surrounded by animal dancers, according to footage of the performance shared online.

The star-studded concert lineup also featured performances by Weaver, Billy Eichner , Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Heather Headley and Jennifer Hudson .

On social media, West's performance drew criticism, with some alleging that the young Kardashian was cast due to the celebrity status of her parents.

North West's casting in 'Lion King' concert criticized on social media

Critics on social media blasted West's casting in the "Lion King" concert as an instance of nepotism in the entertainment industry.

"North West would probably be great as the lead in a high school production of 'The Lion King' but for a 30th anniversary concert it's a bit embarrassing," X user @NomadicalKing wrote. "The nepotism was clear, and you could see and hear the lack of rehearsal. Shame on the parents… this was more for them than her."

"The whole North West/Lion King situation just reminds me of the real world (and) how interviews for a job/opportunity can go," @TsukiiLyte wrote on X. "It’s never WHAT you can do or how perfect you think you’re qualified but rather WHO you know. We’ve all seen it. This is no different."

One X user said West's casting "ruined (the) integrity" of the Disney classic.

"Hundreds of talented kids…worked to get opportunities like this," the user wrote, such as "kids playing Simba/Nala in 'The Lion King' on Broadway (who) left NO CRUMBS, but instead, they went (with) nepotism."

"I’m all for nepo babies getting opportunities," X user @littlemsfancy_ wrote. "But a hardworking theater kid deserved that role. She even wore a hoodie (and) slippers. 😒"

'Lion King' star Jason Weaver praises North West

In an Instagram post Saturday, Weaver said it was "an honor" to perform alongside West, a "young superstar in the making."

"I’m so PROUD you, North!! You’re doing a such PHENOMENAL job in this show!" Weaver wrote alongside a photo of the two. "I can’t wait for people to see your performance of ‘I Just Can’t Wait To Be King’ when ‘The Lion King 30th Anniversary Celebration’ eventually starts streaming on @disneyplus!!"

He added: "You’re a true professional, and I wish you nothing but the best as you continue your journey towards GREATNESS!!"

Quantcast

Luke Combs' Phoenix concert an exuberant singalong, from 'Wild Things' to 'Fast Car,'

king tour mim reviews

If you’ve never seen Luke Combs in concert, you may be wondering how this unassuming figure has become the first country music performer to play two consecutive nights at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Only Taylor Swift and Metallica have managed two nights on the same tour in that room, which has held more than 70,000 people on its best days, from two Super Bowls to Garth Brooks (who drew 77,653 people but only played one night).

It doesn’t hurt that Combs, at 34, has topped the Billboard Country Airplay charts with 16 hits, from “Hurricane” (not the one Bob Dylan sang) to “Fast Car,” a Tracy Chapman cover that led to what he told the crowd at State Farm Stadium may be his proudest moment: performing the song at the 2024 Grammy Awards with the woman who wrote it.

Combs did all but three of his chart-topping singles on Friday, May 31. And he hit those other three on Saturday .

Luke Combs setlist: 'Fast Car' and every song he played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Night 1

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

It’s doubtful Combs will ever be the world’s most magnetic — or electrifying — entertainer.

That just isn't who he is or what he brings to the equation.

He does offer something at least as compelling as showmanship, though. And that’s sincerity. You could feel how much he felt those songs as he was singing them, which made the love songs more romantic and the poignant songs more poignant.

Did it make the drinking songs more drunk? That's hard to say when you're not drinking, but I'm thinking almost certainly.

Luke Combs concert shows he's the king of the country love song

As Combs admitted in the course of dedicating three songs to his wife, who happened to be in attendance at the stadium, he does a lot of love songs.

And he does them well — in a way that clearly resonates with his adoring public.

You could see that in the couples staring lovingly into each other’s eyes while singing his songs at what seemed to be full volume in each other's faces, a scene that played out many times on the video screens as Combs performed.

Having several love songs people want to sing into each other’s faces is a rare commodity, as Lionel Richie can attest.

Which brings us to the singing.

Combs is blessed with a distinctive voice that telegraphs emotion in a gritty rasp that makes the most of every lyric, from his own songs, the best of which thrive on emotion, to the soulful waltz he took through an Ed Sheeran track called “Dive” and, obviously, Chapman’s “Fast Car.”

There are those who may not care for the distinctive nature of his voice, as there are those who do not care for the distinctive nature of what Joni Mitchell or Bob Dylan do.

But State Farm Stadium was packed with those who understand exactly what it is that makes him such a brilliant vocalist. And Combs was playing to those people with total conviction in his increasingly sweaty Arizona Cardinals baseball cap, wiggling his fingers as though it somehow helped him navigate those melodies.

The sincerity he brings to singing also came through in the monologues he sprinkled through the concert as he talked about his wife and kids and hopes and dreams and never having stepped a single foot outside North Carolina until he'd finished college.

How Luke Combs sang 'Fast Car' with Tracy Chapman at the Grammys

The way he set up “Fast Car” was a master class in how this entertainment thing is done (or should be done), a heartfelt remembrance of learning to play the guitar his parents bought him as a kid but not until he'd gone away to college, eventually mastering the chords to Chapman’s song.

“That was one of my favorite songs in the whole world and one of the first songs I remember hearing,” he said.

He was 4 when he decided "Fast Car" was his jam.

“And all these years later, I got to stand on the stage at the Grammys with Miss Tracy Chapman,” he said, as the crowd went wild. “One of the proudest moments of my career, if not the proudest moment. So, if you guys want to help me sing my favorite song….”

The fact that that’s his favorite song speaks volumes to the kind of artist Combs aspires to be.

Luke Combs concert highlights included 'Where the Wild Things Are,' 'Beer Never Broke My Heart'

In the meantime, he’s proven he already knows exactly what it takes to write a love song that has couples kissing as he sings (“They say nothing lasts forever but they ain't seen us together or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes/ Just a T-shirt in the kitchen with no make-up and a million other things that I could look at my whole life.")

And his drinking songs are everything a country drinking song should be, especially the song that closed his set, “Beer Never Broke My Heart.”

“Longneck ice-cold beer never broke my heart,” he sang. “Like diamond rings and football teams have torn this boy apart.”

Regardless of the subject matter (true love, drinking, fast cars, losing a brother to the California lifestyle in the deeply moving "Where the Wild Things Are"), thousands of people sang along because he made them see themselves in every line. That’s the sort of talent knuckleheads who think this music game is all about proficiency and flash will never understand.

That’s why Combs is playing stadiums and they’re home talking trash on social media.

The Wilder Blue opened for Luke Combs with the national anthem

The Wilder Blue strolled onstage as the first of four opening acts and set the tone with a simple request.

“Will you please stand and remove your hats for the national anthem?”

What followed was a really pretty version that played to their strengths as a harmony group, if not as spectacularly as the song they said they dusted off to see what strengths they had when they first got together — “Seven Bridges Road,” a Steve Young song most commonly associated with the Eagles.

That vocal blend continued to impress as they brought their set to a crowd-pleasing finish with “Wave Dancer” and “The Ghost of Lincoln.”

Hailey Whitters as charming as ever opening for Luke Combs

In the interest of full disclosure, I love Hailey Whitters.

She was two songs deep in her performance as the second opening act for Luke Combs when she told the crowd “I’m so happy, I’m pinching myself”.”

Of course she was.

This is Whitters’ first stadium tour and she is clearly thrilled to find herself on such a major bill, which only added to the charm of a set whose highlights ranged from “Tie’r Down” (“She might tie the knot but you can’t tie'r down”) to “I’m in Love” (“He's in a T-shirt, all cleaned up/ Good lord almighty, Mama, don't wait up”).

She also turned in a spirited cover of the Dolly Parton classic “Jolene” (aka that song Beyonce did) and signed off with a crowd-pleasing romp through her own “Everything She Ain’t,” her first platinum single.

Luke Combs opener #3: Charles Wesley Godwin reps West Virginia roots

The concert’s third act, Charles Wesley Godwin, came out rocking in a Luke Combs T-shirt and a red-and-white bandana, leading his band in a headbanging version of “Cue Country Roads,” a southern rock anthem whose chorus pleads, “Come on and take me home.”

And he ended the set by cueing up that old John Denver hit himself, leading the crowd in a joyous singalong on “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” a song he introduced with “Only one way for a West Virginia boy to finish a set.”

That West Virginia vibe was duly reinforced by a coal-mining song he sent out to his dad and a lead guitarist repping Western Pennsylvania rockers G-Force on his vintage black-and-gold T-shirt.

Godwin is an energetic bandleader who’s surrounded himself with a stage full of musicians more than capable of giving each song what it needed, from the country rockers to the country ballads to John Denver’s most enduring pop hit.

Luke Combs opener #4: Cody Jinks reps the Arizona Cardinals

Cody Jinks hit the stage as the main support for Combs in an Arizona Cardinals jersey (No. 24) and reminisced about his introduction to the Phoenix market, playing Crescent Ballroom on a tour with kindred spirit Whitey Morgan.

Rocking a ZZ Top-worthy beard, a feathered hat and Elvis shades, he led his bandmates in a gritty Southern rock revival, complete with dual guitar harmonies.

Setting the tone with “Fast Hand,” a song on which the singer claims he never meant to be a bad man, they packed their set with highlights — “Ain’t a Train,” “I’m Not the Devil,” “Outlaws and Mustangs” and a defiant performance of “Hippies and Cowboys,” which felt like it could be a bit of a signature song for Jinks.

“I've never been a part of any musical scene,” he sang. “I ain't just talking Nashville, if you know what I mean/ They don't write about me in their magazines/ And I don't ask for no reviews on the songs that I sing.”

Fair enough, you bearded outlaw.

Having said that, my review of your performance, which you did not ask for? Just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re already rocking stadiums in Elvis shades as main support to Mr. I Can Do Two Nights In Rooms This Size without a single hit that anyone would recognize (although “Must Be the Whiskey” has somehow gone platinum).
