I absolutely love the black/yellow combo! So much so that I am starting to unload some extras to help soften the $500 blow to the wallet.

I wonder how much influence Fowler had on the design and/or color scheme?  As the F series rolls on, Cobra looks to be incrementally reducing the amount of titanium and increasing the amount of composite matrix used.  The engineering and manufacturing prowess that goes into modern golf equipment is pretty fascinating.

I’ll stick with my Cobra F8 in Black and Nardo Grey.....but the new F9 looks sexy.

Very eager to see how this performs in testing. 

 

I've been planning for a club fitting before next season and am hoping this makes the short list to try when I go.

I have a feeling that if/when that test hits (whether part of Cobra Connect Challenge 3, or not), the response will be huge. I think the F9 is beautiful and would love to give it a test!

Fixed that for you 😄

On a more serious note, I wish Cobra had demo days here. Seems like if there is a rep in Hawaii, they're never at the multi-vendor demo days that I've gone to the last two summers, and I never see them advertised doing their own.

LOL...Guess I opened myself up to that one.   But hey I've been pretty good of late.   Only one club purchase since June that is the Odyssey Red Ball putter, the Bridgestone's as you know were a forum review.

Technically February through May, but who's keeping track.

But back to this driver, so was anyone more swayed after seeing Bryce and Rickie's performance this weekend, or didn't have any affect anyway.

I know "we" as avid forum readers aren't usually swayed too much by tour use.  But I can tell you the average Joe consumer who really only gets his or her exposure to equipment from TV and the major magazines, definitely is based on the comments we here in the pro shop.

Not in the least. I don't have Bryson's or Rickie's swing so....

But of course, you knew that already.

To me, it will be more important to see how it does in the hands of "regular Joe's" when the most wanted testing rolls around.

Like @MaxEntropy said, I don't really care what pros are playing, otherwise I'd have an identical bag to Tiger's because I'm a fanboi. I've been intrigued by Cobra's drivers since the Cobra Connect challenges the past two years, and @chisag 's writeup of them a while back, but never got a chance to try them out.

It doesn't really matter to me what BD or Rickie play. They could make a Walmart driver look like a magic wand. That being said, I sure love the look, and I'll be hitting them, along with the rest of the 2019 drivers in the spring.

 I could see the average consumer being swayed by them. I really think that Cobra has the 2 of the best players under contract for marketing so I think they will continue to grow their market segment.

I don't know how this is going to beat the G400max. But I am absolutely going to try this out. I love my F7 woods/hybrid and wouldn't mind if this found a divider in my bag to call home.  I watched some Australian Youtube reviews on it, they seem genuinely impressed.

Yep. You hit the point I was making GB. The average consumer is going to be swayed by the color (as it's identifiable ) and two young Milenieal type players.

But yeah I didn't really expect Max or you or anyone else -unkess they are brand new to forums-to say their success with it will make you try it.

Does anyone know if they're doing F9 and F9+ again? With exception to the speed back, the weighting looks to be the exact same as the F8+ with the front and back ports.

Same here - I could care less what the pros play. I'm more focused on what will help me play better - and oh if it looks great that's an added plus.

That driver in yellow just screams 'play me'.

Correct. 3 heads. 9* is the lower spin model.

One universal loft sleeve now with + and - degrees rather than the actual lofts.

Just re-read it, you're right. Interesting you can play the F9 at move the weight to the front if you need to knock some RPMs off potentially? Whereas the F8 (non+) was unable to due to the 2nd weight port being in the heel to help keep things straight. IDK about everyone else but I'm digging the white head way more than the Lambo yellow (matches the MGS bags/headcovers too).

... I am not swayed by Bryce and Rickie's performance, but I am swayed by the fact that Rickie, Bryce and Lexi all put the same new F9 drivers in their bags so fast. That is really pretty unheard of from any OEM. Of course all OEM's signature players do not put new drivers in their bags and those that do, rarely do so immediately. To me that says the F9 is pretty special.
