What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the King Cobra SS Oversize is 34° and the SS-i Oversize is 33°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the SS-i Oversize should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the King Cobra SS Oversize. Across the 12 clubs both sets share, the SS-i Oversize averages 0.7° stronger, with the largest gap at the 2-iron (19° vs 18°).
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 Cobra SS Oversize is listed as oversize investment cast cavity back with tungsten inserts in the long irons and the SS-i Oversize as investment cast oversize cavity back. The King Cobra SS Oversize adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.
The SS-i Oversize arrived 1 year after the King Cobra SS Oversize, 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 34° to 33°.
Which should you choose?
The SS-i Oversize is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the King Cobra SS Oversize on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.
