2021 King Cobra wedges with Snakebite grooves – classic looks, new tech

Published

For 2021, what’s old is new again, as Cobra Golf introduces the all-new wedges King Cobra Snakebite wedges which bring together the classic King Cobra script on wedges packed with their latest Snakebite groove technology.

Snakebite Groove technology

Groove performance is all about precision, and the new Snakebite grooves utilize a new cutting method to increase groove depth by 11 percent and sharpen the radius by a whopping 40 percent to increase spin and on full and partial shots.

This is possible because the tools used during the groove cutting process are replaced more frequently to ensure grooves are taken right to the tolerances of volume and sharpness.

The engineers at Cobra didn’t stop at just tooling a one size fit all groove. The new King Cobra wedges feature a progressive groove profile to optimize spin based on lofts with the 48- 54-degree wedges having a deeper and narrower groove for full shots hit with square faces. While the 56- 60-degree lofts feature full-face grooves that are wider and shallower to maximize performance on shots hit at lower speeds and with more open faces.

The full-face grooves also help create extra friction on shots hit higher on the toe, which is something that occurs more often on shots where the face is opened up.

Grind options

Versatile grind: An grind for medium to firm course conditions intended for a wide variety of golfers.
Classic grind: A progressive width sole with a rounded heel-to-toe radius and trailing edge relief. This wedge works best for neutral to steep swings and under a wide variety of course conditions.
Wide-low grind: This wide-soled, low bounce option works ideal in soft conditions to provide versatility while also preventing the club from digging in.

Price, availability, and specs

The new King Cobra Snakebite wedges are available for preorder starting today Mar 16 and will be arriving on retail shelves starting Friday, March 19. They will be priced at $149 each.

The stock configuration will include a KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 wedge shaft and Lamkin Ace crossline connect grip.

Specs

For the One-Length golfers out there, the new King Cobra Snakebite wedges will be available in a One-length configuration in 56 and 60 degrees with versatile grind and full-face grooves.

The new King Cobra wedges will come stock with Cobra Connect powered by Arccos, and new subscribers will receive a free 14-piece Arccos Smart caddie sensor kit (a $179 value) for the rest of their clubs and a 90 day trial of the app for free.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
