PlaidJacket Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I too like the F8 generally speaking. I don't care much for the decal things on the crown. Pretty sure if I could order one or have them removed I'd not notice anything. I'm getting driver fever a tad but not anxious to ditch my SLDR. It will take a really good fit to get it kicked out of my bag. I'm almost scared to try something newer.

Popular Post Popeye64 Posted December 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2017 I just ordered the F8 after it destroyed my Epic in the Simulator. Ball speed up 6 mph distance up 11 yards, spin is 2200. Plus I was comparatively speaking allover the place with my Epic. F8 was a straight as could be. The F8+ wasn't quite as good as the F8. F8 felt better and actually spun less. My specs were F8 at 9.5, NV 65 S shaft, standard length.

They could replace my SLDR any time! Solid sound, good feeling club in hand. It was on a monitor, but distance was spot on with my SLDR.

Not a decal Plaid, those are actually grooves or in Cobra speak "Polymer Aero Strips" that improve aerodynamics and create more speed.

PlaidJacket Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I had a chance to take a look at the new F8 over the weekend at our pro shop. The shop at my club doesn't carry much equipment of any kind really but what they do have are wedges, putters, drivers and a ton of club logo'd clothing. Oddly, I don't notice many people wearing the stuff. (wonder where it all goes?) Anyway... I like the look of the F8. The model I saw was the two-toned gray and black. Personally, if were in the market I think I'd wait for the all black one to come out. Now that I've actually seen the driver in person the "trips" didn't bother me like I thought they would. Nice looking driver. It'll be interesting to see where it places in the Most Wanted match up this year. ole gray, STUDque and Shankster 3 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking driver. It'll be interesting to see where it places in the Most Wanted match up this year. ... The Black F8 is being released at the same time as the Gray. And imo it looks a lot less techy and more classic than the gray as the trips are much less noticeable. I feel for OEMs releasing a new driver as those on golf websites always say "Sounds too dead" and "Sounds too explosive" or "Love the gray" and "Black is the only head I will play" and now "I wish they would release a matt finish" as well as "Love the classic black gloss". We didn't have those comments with the release of the 510tp or the 975, but times have changed and fashion seems to be an issue for many today.

Popeye64 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I ordered the F8 in the black. Was not a huge fan of the Nardo. Too much TM to me. The black,, does not look two tone even though it's the multi material head. Should be delivered by the 15th.

null Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 F8+ w/ HZRDUS Yellow 65 6.0 would be my driver if I was the pulling the trigger on something now. But I won't be.
