What the differences mean
The KING offers the wider selection: 17 loft/bounce/grind combinations against 13 for the Snakebite. The KING also has the deeper grind catalogue: 4 sole grinds against 3.
Loft coverage is identical: both run 48° to 60° and are sold at the same 7 degrees.
The scoring lofts are where bounce and grind choice matters most: at 56° both offer 3 options; at 58° the KING offers 4 options to 2; at 60° the KING offers 4 options to 3. More options at a degree means more ways to match the sole to your turf and swing, which is what a wedge fitting actually selects.
The KING arrived 2 years after the Snakebite as its replacement. Wedge generations usually carry over the core loft ladder and adjust the grind catalogue, groove spec and finishes, so the older model is the value buy while stock lasts — the trade-off is the newer grooves, which matter more the more you play.
Which should you choose?
The KING is the newer generation, so it carries the current groove spec and the fuller retail availability; the Snakebite is the value buy while closeout and used stock lasts. The option chart above is the tiebreaker — if the exact loft, bounce and grind you play is only in one of them, that decides it.
Both option charts are reproduced in full on their own pages: Cobra Snakebite specs and Cobra KING specs.
