Cobra F9 is the driver of the year!


Lamb

Recommended Posts

May not be a Golfwrx favorite but my goodness every single person I know and every YT video testing video is all about F9. I am not surprised it is the peoples favorite driver.

 

And here's why:

 

Great looks

Best dispersion,

25% cheaper

Best sounding,

best value for money

Once fitted the longest driver or as good as the longest.

 

 

Congrats Cobra this looks like another driver as popular as Biocell.

Just come back from American Golf in Watford after demoing the F9, M6 and the cheapest, the Wilson D7.

 

To be fair, my swingspeed is very average so drives normally carry around 175yds and finish 195.

M6 was the least impressive of the 3 but the F9 and D7 were neck and neck. Carrying between 185-190 yards and finish around the 215 mark

 

The D7 could truly be a sleeper but there's no adjustable abilities. The F9 was possibly slightly better at off centre hits.

I agree that this year, Cobra has really made a fantastic driver with one of the lowest price/yard ratio.

 

However, do also note, despite it being super efficient in delivering ball speed and also have a decently high MOI for forgiveness,

 

one must also take into account, whether the CG build of the driver fits them. If not, it does not matter what loft you choose or what shaft you put in, it will be tough to optimise the driver in terms of performance.

 

Nonetheless, every review i have been watching has really proven that the F9 can compete with the big boys.

 

I think Taylormade in 2019 is again slightly disappointing and till date, i feel their M1/M2 drivers are still the best. I dont know how many would agree.

 

Callaway Epic Flash is also not one to dismiss, i think its up there with the F9 this year!

I had the opportunity to hit all of the 2019 models on Trackman a couple of weeks ago. There were three models that stood out for me. Callaway EPIC Flash Sub Zero, Cobra F9, and Titleist TS3. I could put either of them into play. I thought the F9 was the best feeling driver of all of them.

2019 will go down like the 84 NFL draft.. Marino, Elway, Blackledge, Todd, and can't remember the other one. I agree some really good drivers out there! F9 is Elway however:)

The fairways are getting very positive reviews as well.

 

I think the whole Cobra F9 line up is gonna be the one to beat this year. Even the price compared to the competition is gonna be a big positive for people looking to upgrade their equipment without taking out a 2nd mortgage.

 

Still gonna try the Ping G410 line. After that maybe looking at trying a Mizuno, Titleist or even a PXG driver. Not really interested inTM or Callaway stuff this year..

Heading to the store to see these in person today. Thought the F9 looked great online and now that there are so many positive reviews, I will probably pull the trigger soon. Definitely getting the driver..... Interested in seeing the fairways in person as well. It seems like Cobra has knocked it out of the park with their 2019 offerings.

1983 Draft

That being the case, let's take a look at some of what the 1983 NFL Draft had produced by 1988:

news-bullet.gif?32967The single-season record holder for passing yards and touchdowns (Dan Marino )

news-bullet.gif?32967The single-season record holder for rushing yards (Eric Dickerson )

news-bullet.gif?32967Three quarterbacks who started in the Super Bowl (Marino, John Elway and Tony Eason; Jim Kelly would later become the fourth)

news-bullet.gif?32967Seven starters on the Bears' 1985 Super Bowl team, including three-fifths of the offensive line and Super Bowl XX MVP (Richard Dent)

news-bullet.gif?32967A two-time AFC rushing leader (Curt Warner)

news-bullet.gif?32967The 1988 leader in receiving yards (Henry Ellard)

news-bullet.gif?32967The 1984 leader in receiving touchdowns (Mark Clayton)

news-bullet.gif?32967The 1988 leader in combined scrimmage yards (Roger Craig)

It sounds and feels better, for sure. Spins more tho and launches a bit lower standard settings. Needs to be fit properly but when it is wow

TXG are the only YouTube videos you need!

 

I mean no insult, but that is illogical. Matt has a very unusual very high speed, low spin swing. Positive AoA, 125+ mph, push draw. A PERFECT distance swing. He matches maybe 1% of the people watching.

 

What works and fits him really doesn’t mean much to the vast majority of the people watching those videos.

 

I think they are well made and generally informative, but I really wish Ian would use a more “average” golfer for their tests.

 

How about the 100 mph guy with a zero to +1 AoA and a little bit of an over the top pull slice? That would be a LOT more useful to most people.
