You have the choice of One Length for consistency of set-up and the Arccos Smart Grips for performance analysis, which adds considerable value. Notably a strong high launch, low spin combination but at a higher price.Īn iron like the King Speedzone with this spec was always going to be long but the ball flight hasn’t suffered. That said, it delivers everything a mid-to-high handicapper would want from an iron. It's unusual for the mid-size iron in the Mavrik range to have strongest lofts. Strikes low on the face or lateral misses were punished minimally, you’d have to hit a really bad shot to miss the green.ĭidn’t quite have the directional control of the Mavrik, perhaps because of the longer shaft, but off-centre hits with the Speedzone still performed well with limited drops in ball speed and distance from heel or toe strikes.Ĭallaway Mavrik - 9/10 Cobra King Speedzone - 8/10 Our carry distances and shot pattern were very consistent with the Mavrik iron. The King Speedzone didn't quite flight the ball as high as the Mavrik but there is ample ball speed to keep the ball in the air, helped by the longer stock shaft length and slightly higher spin. The extra offset tended to create a miss left for us, but should help slicers square the face at impact more easily.

The Mavrik gets the ball airborne effortlessly with low spin helping produce a strong flight. It feels fast and forgiving, both on off-centre hits and through the turf thanks to the wider sole, but not overly soft.Ĭallaway Mavrik - 8/10 Cobra King Speedzone - 8/10 The Speedzone is still fairly loud but a bit more of a ‘thud’ sensation at impact. The Mavrik offers a louder, higher-pitched and more metallic sound at impact that is arguably more wood-like than the Cobra, although the sound is still quite short, contributing to a soft feel. A little more traditional in shape with less offset and a lighter finish.Ĭallaway Mavrik - 7/10 Cobra King Speedzone - 8/10

On the Speedzone your eyes are immediately drawn to the carbon fibre section within the top-line but after a few shots you forget it’s there. Seems easier to align thanks to the two white scorelines near the leading edge and also has a much thicker topline, making it look a little chunky. The Mavrik has a noticeably darker finish and more offset than the Cobra.
