Keep in mind the yellow is not visible at address. It is there for the TV camera from behind or in the follow through and perhaps a good player on the course to catch someone's eye. Pretty smart really as it will stand out like no other driver on the market yet look like any of the previous Cobra drivers at address with a black carbon crown.

Chal Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I was able to hit this driver yesterday. Shaft was a Atmos Black 7X. Not my ideal weight for a shaft, prefer the 6X. I was also hitting a Titliest TS3 with the 6X Evenflow and The Ping G400 LST with their tour shaft. This driver outperformed the other 2 and it really wasn't all that close. First shot was one of those awful low heel strikes. Flew 264 with 2900 spin and roll out to 281. I was impressed with the spin. Typically for me a low strike like that sends the spin way up. I got in a nice groove after that and the spin numbers were really consistent. 2100-2300 and the dispersion was fantastic. This will definitely be on my short list to potentially buy. Loved the sound, the look from top was phenomenal. You don't see any of the accent color, so I wouldn't be concerned with the bottom of the club. The top looks great. Really good club.

TR1PTIK Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Just finished watching the review and he's definitely piqued my interest! I've really liked the shape of the last few Cobra drivers. Match those looks (in the white color) with the sound, and I almost don't even care how it performs as long as I'm not losing anything. Best part is, that Cobra prices drop pretty quickly when new models come out so If I can't find the money for one now, I certainly won't have any trouble in a year or so.

Thin2win Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I watch most of Rick 's videos. This one almost had a romance cinematography quality about it. I think it will be joining ole' bluie(bluey?) in his bag. I think he hasn't looked into the f9 before arrival, as his two complaints on looks are both covered on the alternate color option. Still, definitely will have to try this thing out.

Thought it was pretty interesting that Rick experienced a 2mph increase in club head speed with the only variable being the club head. Luckily my new local shop has the F9 demo in so I could test for myself on GCQuad. Well I went from swinging 113-116mph to consistently swinging around 121mph!!!

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I play a member guest in March. Last year Cobra was there selling product at great prices and they had outdoor fittings which was great.
