Cobra's new King F9 Speedback Driver, Woods, Hybrids and Irons (NO BUY SELL TRADE POSTS)

[Rosco1216]

I mean..why wouldn't you test it first with your proven shaft that you're comfortable with in the HZRDUS yellow??

[3woodvt]

Good question… Wore out to be honest towards the end and will at some point again to satisfy that lingering question...

You guys are tempting me to buy this driver blindly.

SO, update: I tried the F9 vs my Ping G400 LST today at PGA Superstore using a TP5x. I was once again very impressed with the F9, it stood toe to toe with the G400 and even gave me slightly lower spin #'s on average. Without even being custom fit for it it was right there distance and ball speed wise. If I didn't already have the Ping I would be shopping these right now.

I’m in same boat as you. I have the LST and tried the F9. It’s so close even that if,like you, I didn’t have a new driver the F9 would be way to go for me.

 

They both performed the same plus or minus a few shots. Not enough to shell out 600+ after shaft upgrade. I’ll just stick to ol reliable Ping.

 

I’m not discounting the F9 at all. It is a great feeling and performing driver. I personally didn’t see a difference between what I have now. It is a good driver for this year.

Me too. 9* avalanche grey head. Hzrdus Smoke 6.5.

[stk123]

anybody have specific details on how the lie angle gets adjusted with different loft settings? Are there any settings that will flatten out the lie angle by a degree or two?

[GooseHook]

I had a look/waggle at these in a shop the other day. The driver head looks great at address, and the yellow isn't so bad in person. The white looks pretty sweet though.

 

The fairway woods look GREAT. Definitely worth a try if you're in the market, and don't want to drop 350-400 on a new wood.

[Rosco1216]

I'm impatiently awaiting for the weights to arrive so I can see what it can do.

[Kmac]

Did anyone go tour length? I want to try it but I'm already not very long with driver and every time I have gone shorter in shaft length I just end up hitting driver super short.

[GoTime]

What else were you expecting?

Tour length shaft with tour length distance, duh

I hit 44.5" farther than 45.5". I was going to order last night but there was no loft box and I don't want 10.5 which is what was in the pic. 44.5" is like being stranded on a desert island with mary anne.

For a different loft you will want to call Cobra directly, or go through a vendor.

My white 9.0 with evenflow white came in yesterday. Cobra built this thing super quick. Ordered from DD on Wednesday shipped Friday and should have been in on Monday but the holiday delayed it a day. Might try to sneak out and test it out.

[Kmac]

That looks nice dude! The white just looks so much better than the yellow.

I am the same boat, since I want a white head and 9.0 tour length. I contacted them via email and got a reply below from Cobra.

 

"I just got an email today saying that we will be offering the Tour Length driver in the white color and in different lofts. I would expect the website to be updated in the next few days to a week."

This may already be out there,

But can someone compare the Atmos TS Black VS the Smoke?

Are the fairly similar in feel & playability?

 

I got the smoke in mine but now I’m starting to have second thoughts.

See my post a few back. Not much in it for me, although I am still relatively rusty in the early part of the year.

 

...I hit the F9 first with the Fuji Atmos shaft in stiff set @ 9*. Weights were set 14g front, 2g back. Strikes felt good and it was carrying 255yds no problem with a swing speed of 104mph and spun it around 2500mph. My normal shot is a slight left to right fade, which this did no problem. Off-centre hits still carried a good 240yds which is encouraging for speed across the face. Sound was great but again, that is subjective and would never put me off from buying a club. Dispersion was ok, but I’d put this down to my swing and strike, not the club or shaft.

 

Then tried the F9 with the Hzrdus smoke in stiff. Similar numbers to the Atmos and dispersion was quite similar, perhaps a bit tighter. A couple of extra yds but nothing spectacular.

I can't compare it to the smoke, but I can compare it to the hzrdus black - to me the Atmos was very telephone pole like with very little feel, perhaps the least amount of feel from any shaft I've tried (I've tried a lot). It has the stereotypical Fujikura dead-feel. The Hzrdus black I played was tipped an inch in 6.5 flex and had more feel to me than the Atmos Black in X flex, but was still very stout. I like sturdy feeling shafts with a hint of flex/feel...so shafts like Hzrdus, non EvenFlo T1100, Kuro Kage XD etc etc.

 

The smoke might be totally different than hzrdus black..not sure.

Just checked the Cobra site and they have the white one now in the tour length with all the options for shaft and loft.

[GC70]

It really shows that everyone’s feel and boardieness perspectives are different. I for think the Atoms shafts feel great and whipping through the hitting area and the hzrdus boardy or dead.

[jonnymc44]

It's all about personal preference. I could never buy a club blind. I've seen a lot of people on here do it though, especially the Cobra.

Probably has a lot to do with profile. I was hitting the Tour Spec Black 7X and 8TX

Thats why I went Atmos Blue in Regular flex. Plenty stiff for me too.
