What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the KING Radspeed is 27.5° and the LTDx is 26.5°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the LTDx should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the KING Radspeed. Across the 9 clubs both sets share, the LTDx averages 0.7° stronger, with the largest gap at the 7-iron (27.5° vs 26.5°). The pitching wedges are 42.5° and 41.5°; the stronger one leaves a 8.5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The KING Radspeed is listed as cast hollow-body distance iron with a forged face insert, carbon fibre topline and 3D-printed medallion and the LTDx as cast hollow-body distance iron with a forged L-cup face insert and a suspended steel core bar. Both use hollow-body heads, so both trade a little feel for face flex and launch help.
The LTDx arrived 2 years after the KING Radspeed, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 27.5° to 26.5°.
Which should you choose?
The LTDx is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the KING Radspeed on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
