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

[swing33]

What a driver this F9. Absolutely effin' brilliant. Hands down.

 

Anyway. As you were.

Decided to stick with my Callaway - if anyone interested in brand new 10.5 Avalanche White with Atmos TS Blue 6S let me know

Does anyone know if there are any differences in the driver head between the women's version and the men's other than the loft and color?

 

I was thinking of picking up a women's head because I like the colorways the most, I like a lot of loft on my driver, and they are about $100 cheaper on the secondary market.

 

The womens F9 is a 460 cc head and a 59.5 lie angle and has the same stock weights. Looks the same to me other than loft.

 

Same for the Junior head. If anyone needs a higher lofted driver head at a discounted price that would be a real consideration. Retails for $100 less.

 

I was wondering how long it would take before this became a talking point here.

 

Seriously. If you don’t give a lick about the junior shaft because you are going to play one you already have and you could really use the 11-14 degree loft then grabbing one of these would be a great way to save some dough. I’m sure you can get one for under $280 from some of the online guys. I imagine you could find one in a couple months used for down around $200.

 

Obviously if you want a standard shaft from Cobra it’s not an option. You can only get a “junior” shaft with it but if you have a favorite shaft at home and want a higher loft this is a great option.

So, I upgraded to the F9 from my F8+. Switched to the Átmos Black 6x shaft. Ordered it 1” shorter.

 

The nice surprise is that they sent it with an 18g weight instead of the 14g weight. I did not request it. I was resigned to the fact of using lead tape. It did come with a 2g back weight. I added a little lead tape to the back and liked it a lot more.

 

But, it is those little things which keeps me coming back to Cobra.

Demo day at my club today in Jupiter FL. I hit all the new stuff after my round. BTW,I played well today shooting 2 under par 70. My current driver is a Ping GMax digitally lofted 9 degree with Tour AD IZ 6x at 45.25. I'm very confident with this set-up and can work the ball both ways, but felt I was spinning it a bit much... watching roll out (or lack thereof...lol) and noticing that my ball often picks up mud even when the conditions aren't that wet.

 

Anyway, the F9 gave me the best results out of all the new stuff. The Ping G410 plus with Tour X shaft was a close second, but the F9 at 45" with Atmos Black 6x launched higher and consistently spun 400-600 less than my Gmax (which I love). I went from ~11.5 launch at 2900 to ~13 and 2400 with the F9 and was hitting it straighter as well.

 

I've played too well with it to dump the GMax AD IZ 6x, but I'll likely sell some excess inventory on the BST to fund an F9 Atmos Black experiment...lol! Feel was smooth, solid, and muted with the Cobra. Sweet driver no doubt!

They probably would have given you a 6 gram for the back like the tour length if they had them. They are out. That’s why the Tour length has been backordered for a while.

 

In house rep told me a week ago the Tour Length has been Waaaaaaay more popular than expected.

What’s the over/under on how long it takes to see aftermarket weights on Fleabay? I check every day.

 

I want different weights for the one I just bought but I’m admittedly way too cheap to spend $25 a pop plus tax and shipping.

 

Come on Chinese Counterfeiters! Get your act together! Let’s see some product.

And I hope we see heavier weights for the tour fairway from the aftermarket channel. I can’t believe that cobra only sells the stock 12 gram weight for that head. You would figure guys buying the tour head are more likely to cut it down and need to raise the swing weight back up. Maybe Cobra offered it at one time but kat time I checked you could only buy the stock weight for the tour fairway.

Check eBay...could find one around $300 from k9south

Weird. I could swear there were other choices listed for the Tour fairway a couple weeks ago.

This!

 

I just had an Aldila ATX Tour Green installed in my F9 3/4 Tour, and it's a little over my ideal swing weight. A 10g weight would make it perfect for me. We have a fitting/demo day at a local Golftown tomorrow, so I'll ask the rep about other weights

[Smitty1304]

Placed my order for F9 Speedback Irons today. Can't wait for this bad weather to go away and get the new irons in.

[SilverBullets]

I hit the F9 today with multiple shafts during a fitting. Really solid club. Looked better than the F8 in my opinion, felt very solid and sounded great. For whatever reason the head kept producing too much spin for me. I wanted to like it but it just didn’t work for me.

[averysdad]

I hit my F9 for the 1st time today....sweeeeet. Not sure if it’ll unseat my g400 max out of the gate but initial testing is promising.

[SEP1006]

Got mine in yesterday, Avalanche color 10.5 with UST Helium F3. Man this driver is sweet, long and surprisingly very forgiving. Goodbye Taylor Made M2, F9 is in the bag. Going to shop for a 3 wood now.

[3woodvt]

10-13 fairways and massive long today w my regular 4 some. My buddy w his M4 was 5 yards longer on avg vs me a few weeks ago when I had the wrong set up but I was 10 yards further w our best on best today. Kinda funny as he went to my drive on 3 holes and said Damon man who's Srixon :-) (told him TM to the back from now on...) Loving the 7x w 8* head. Baby draws all day long w the 3 bad drives in the right rough twice and one overcooked draw on dog leg trying to cut the corner. This club is the real deal....watch out senior circuit this year come tourney time . Even playing the 2g up front for added forgiveness not needing the extra low spin anymore. F9 proved itself today. Ps. Easily best feeling and sounding club I've ever hit but coming from Ping that was pretty easy.

I have a new in plastic yellow F9 with Hzrdus yellow X flex shaft 9 degree wirh tour wrap midsize grip if anyone is interested. I went with the tour length driver instead.

[Whipitgood13]

Surprised so many are talking about the bottom of the drivers for appearance. White yellow black? What's the difference? The St190G is ugly as he'll on the bottom imo with those dual train tracks but is sublime at address from the photos I've viewed from top view. Maybe I'm missing something here and people are referring to the 2 spines on top or the wings . Is it the bottom of the club that some are having issues with? Really doesn't matter but I don't follow some of the statements clearly. On a positive note it seems to have the fastest ball speeds of any modern driver .F9 may become a legend in 2019 but we will see.

 

I must say I love the bottom of these clubs. The yellow is fantastic, polarizing yes, but fantastic!

Totally agree. Good for Cobra just doing something different.

has anyone built a "rickie'esque" F9 4iron with a graphite shaft for yourself. what shaft did you put in with what swingspeed?

i think i get one but, i only have about 95ss driver ss, but no idea what shaft would suit. can't hit fairways and hybrids. so just looking for something to hit fairways.

thanks

I was thinking of doing this with the KBS iron graphite shafts.

[RH82]

What’s a good low spin stiff shaft for this head? (Shaft at no up charge). I was thinking an Atmos Black 6s?

[wobgon]

Lets have some fun here this evening fellas....I have been around here for a while now and don't think I have ever asked this type of question.

 

I am going to get a f9 to compare against some other nonsense I have sitting here in front of me, and I am going to buy it on the fly with no demo.

 

On an average day, I have a ball speed around 160, and a swing speed around 106 when swinging smoothly.....I would say I have a slightly hard transition.

 

Shafts I am considering...Atmos TS blue X......Atmos TS Black x (probably more than I want to take on)…….Smoke 6.0 Stiff......Smoke 6.0 X stiff.....

 

What say you.....

I’ve got very similar numbers and tempo. Hzrdus Smoke 70 6.0 at Tour Length is the winner for me.

My driver ss is 107-109 and I went with ATMOS blue 6s. I will probably tip it an inch and add weight to the head

[wobgon]

I did hit some balls with the atmos black stiff, and it didn't seem to work for me as well as the smoke.

Same speeds as you maybe couple mph faster. When I was fit and tested the F9,I was anywhere from 106 to 108. Strong translation. Went with Tour length D4 and Pro Orange 60tx. Shafts is smooth and stout. But if you have a hard or harder transition the shaft just feels smooth all over. Doesn’t feel stiff at all.

 

I say that,but the Atmos TS black felt like garbage to me. You may like the Atmos TS black though.

[reechard]

just purchased my F9 Speedback Driver! 8*+ Avalanche

 

playing with my 65g Kuro Kage XT that was on my King LTD Pro, couldn't believe the gains this thing had over my LTD pro....

 

Ball speed numbers were increased by 5 MPH than usual, with the weight forward, I was able to get a personal long... and it was so much more forgiving than the LTD for me personally.

 

Ball speed: 165.4

Distance: 295 YDS

Total Distance: 328 YDS

Back Spin: 1933 RPMS

Side Spin: -64 RPM

 

this might be the best driver for value on the market right now. The fact that its $150 CDN cheaper than the other offerings is HUGE.

[longoffthetees]

My F9 is currently locked in a battle with my G400 Max

 

More accurate with my G400 Max, longer with my F9. I'm switching shafts on my F9 and if I can get similar accuracy to my G400 Max and keep the distance, I will put the F9 in play. Just can't justify switching with the 2-3 misses each round. My G400 Max with Tour AD is an automatic fairway finding machine.
