It's not that his reviews are bad, it's just there's other channels out now that do everything he does (reviews, vlogs, lessons) better.

[averysdad]

He does seem to be less of a turd since Dan and Coach are on there sometimes now. I actually really

Enjoyed his couple of vids with James Robinson.

Nice. ?

Where is the new driver info?

Watching right now.... He was the first one out of all my channels to post! I think he was a few minutes early lol.

[tleader]

Here we go!! That guy is terrible to listen to.

[Davethegolfer]

Sounds fantastic

[davo32683]

Anyone have the no-upcharge shaft list?

[Z1ggy16]

So the embargo states only on course reviews, no data allowed to be shown... Weird. Probably means we won't see many reviews right away, might get an "on course review" with Crossfield or something like that.

[SUPERG]

No fairway or hybrid?

On another site they have an exploded view of the internals.

 

 

[Z1ggy16]

Looking over the numbers for driver.... It doesn't seem particularly forgiving as far as just comparing pure MOI.

 

The 9* with weight back is probably around 4800 and with weight forward it's probably about 4200-4300. Compared to my 9* Epic Sub zero that's a little over 5000. But this begs the questions, is a few hundred Gm-cm^2 really that big of a deal? Is actual CG position more important all else equal?

 

Looking back at charts from 2017 and compared to 2019, the very top end of MOI is increasing but the majority of clubs still seem to fall between 4300-4800. With COR being pretty much maxed... with "forgiveness" aka MOI not really moving around too much I do really wonder where driver tech is heading.

F9 fairways were awesome, but I think me and my F8 version are headed for a Stenson-like relationship.

[boggyman]

I can see a Cobra bag in the making. Fairways look great!!

Agreed. Even if I were to sell my F8 irons I think I'd keep the fairways/hybrids.

[Noke]

Weld on the inside.

Beat me to it

[benno_r]

As someone who struggled to get enough spin from my F9, I am keen to give the SZ Extreme a hit.

I found F8 to be a little draw biased. F9 didn't seem as much draw biased but I never owned it. I owned F8 and it was pretty draw biased and I eventually sold it.

[danielwkelliher]

AD XC + Speedzone in Black/White = $$$$

 

 

[cmagnusson]

As a cheapskate, I'm very excited at the prospect of now being able to pick up an F9 head for under $150 over the winter.

 

Definitely gonna have to demo this though, I allow myself one big club purchase every few years and this may make me stray away from new irons...

For me, at least, I loved the sound and feel. Just the right metallic thwack sound. It's been arrow straight and with just the right amount of spin for me, and I don't mind the looks a bit either. I tried the F9 and really, really liked it, but when I could pick up a brand new F8 for $100 from Discount Dan's, I absolutely jumped at the chance. I don't know if the rails actually help, but they don't hurt either.

 

Coming from the Bio Cell (which I never thought would leave my bag) it had to be really good. Cobra's always made great fairways, and the F8 (and F9, to be fair) are no exception.
