I picked up the F8+ two days ago and today I finally received the proper XStiff shaft from the store(Project X HZRDUS Yellow).

Initial observations from range:
Club face
- The CNC milled grooves were more shallow than I was expecting which is good
• Also it was very easy to clean off dirt/grass

Design
- The Nardo tone with Carbon accent was easy on the eyes, and didn't reflect too much Sunlight during setup

Weight
- The club felt solid in my hands, although I didn't have the opportunity to adjust weight placement

Loft adjustment
- As with other current drivers on the market, the adjustable loft was simple to adjust, and clearly labeled.
• With the low launch shaft I started at 9.5° then changed to 10.5° for better trajectory

Sound
- I wasn't extremely impressed with the noise it made, however when I initially tested the club pre-release in a simulator there no noticeable change in sound between my misses and solid contact. I was glad to see that outside at the range there was an obvious acoustic feedback

Not sure if this was helpful as the in-depth reviews online. I honestly just wanted a place to post my pictures!

Really is a sweet looking head. My Fly-Z will be hard to replace but I am going to give the F8 a chance.

I'm jealous. I'm thinking about picking up the F8 fairway sometime this season.

Thought you were a ping man now?

I had the FlyZ+ in the bag, the 8+ is taking its place.

Wow that's a beautiful head

Trust me, I want that G400 fairway. But I also want a matching driver/fairway wood. If I wouldn't have bought the F7+ last year, I'd be all over the Ping combo mombo.

I used to be a huge ping guy, I currently play ping i200s. When I looked into the g400 it didn't really exceed any of my expectations. However, I hit the g400 3W with the silver tour shaft well.

Nice looking. I’ve never meshed well with Cobra stuff, but they’re usually decent looking!!!

Thanks for posting! Make sure to let us know how it goes on the course.

This is on the top of my list for drivers to get a shot at my G400!

Nice upgrade from the burner.
Give the cobra a chance and it'll plant roots in your bag.
Love my F7+

I am with you here. I have the G400 driver and I am trying to decide between the G400 and F8 3 wood.

ZarFot glad to hear you like it. I had one on pre-order but after hitting it I cancelled my order. Purely based off feel. The G400 just felt so good to me.

I like Cobra drivers... have an F7+... but

 

1. Never have been able to get along with 2 tone colored drivers personally... not sure why.

 

2. The whole milled face thing seems gimmicky.  The driver is on the face for only a fraction of a second...

 

When the clubface collides with the ball it's total contact time is approximately just under 1/2 Millisecond = 400 Microseconds =  0.0004 Seconds = 400/1,000,000 = 4/10.000 Second and the peak force applied to the ball can be as high as 4000 pounds.

1. The driver does come in all Black

 

2. Its no different than a milled wedge

I think if I were to get one I’d send it in to have the crown coated with Matte Black. Milled face, not sure if it was the face, but it was 5-7 yards longer than the F7+ for me.
