Camera shutters clicked as Tiger Woods picked up a Cobra King One-Length Iron on the Riviera range. The sight of Woods, known for guarding his equipment choices, handling Bryson DeChambeau's signature club sent a ripple through the practice area. DeChambeau, who built his reputation on single-length irons, watched with a grin.
Cobra's single-length iron concept is based on making all irons the length and weight of a 7-iron, aiming for a more repeatable stance and trajectory.
Woods' curiosity about other players' gear isn't new. He checked out Jason Day's woods at the Farmers Insurance Open and often studies what's in play around him. This week, though, his driver shaft testing drew more attention. After struggling off the tee at Torrey Pines, Woods tried a Matrix Ozik TP6HDe shaft, which is 10 grams lighter than the TP7HDe he used in 2015. The TP6HDe is built for higher launch. Despite the trial, Woods has gone back to the TP7HDe, a shaft he's called reliable and familiar. That's a shift from the Mitsubishi Tensei White CK Pro White 70 TX shaft he used in his TaylorMade M3 at the Farmers Insurance Open.
No official word has come from Woods or Cobra about this iron test. There's no independent confirmation or direct statement on the record. Current reporting offers no product announcements or detailed coverage tied to Woods' session with DeChambeau's club before the Genesis Open.
The current Cobra KING Tec X ONE Length iron set includes 4-9 irons, pitching wedge, and gap wedge, with lofts ranging from 19.5° to 48°. The set features a KBS Tour Lite steel shaft weighing 105 grams, and its Australian launch date is November 8, 2024.
According to GlobalGolf product documentation, the early Cobra King F8 One Length series set every iron to 7-iron length and added the Cobra Connect/Arccos shot tracking system. The goal was a more consistent setup and ball flight across the set.
The current KING Tec X ONE Length model sticks with this idea, offering a single-length option with specific lofts and shaft specs. There's no evidence Woods has switched to single-length irons, signed with Cobra, or made permanent changes to his iron setup. Reporting focuses on product features, not on any confirmed equipment moves by Woods or his camp.
There are also no independently verified details about Woods' driver shaft changes between the Matrix Ozik TP6HDe, TP7HDe, and Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White models. These technical points remain unconfirmed in available sources.
