Cobra F9 Driver Thread

Golf companies design to fit the masses and not individual needs of a small percentage of golfers which is also why there aren’t a wide variety of lefty options.

its not cost effective for the companies to get into individual spec building for every customer that needs a one off.  

 

You would think that SOMEONE would individually spec build for those willing to pay for it. 

 

You only to have to look online for a custom shoe, shirt, or suitmaker.  You can even get a custom built car, even now when new cars are so heavily regulated.  I'd be happy just to know of the existence of a TRUE custom club maker.

Again, if you want to talk about this, start a thread.  This thread is about the Cobra F9 Driver

Saw the TXG video today from their interview with cobra during oats show.  

I love the tech story but the best comment from the interview was we can’t make the face any faster because of th limits/testing and it’s the fastest they can make it using the cnc milling so they developed the clubhead to move faster allowing to gain speed that way

Did you see the new TXG video? Ian said it was the fastest driver they have EVER tested. They are gonna do another one with a proper fitting for Mattie. That was just the same shaft vs the F8+ without being fitted.

Here’s a link to the TXG F8+ vs F9. The ball speed off the F9 was FIVE MPH FASTER than F8+, and Matt hit 180 ball speed! The distance, though, was NOT greater with the F9! Launch and spin took any distance gains away (launched too low, no spin). They said an actual fitting for it will now take precedence over the Mizuno they were going to do. Ian said he could see Matt hitting 184-185 ball speed! The last drive Matt got ended-up 353 and went OFF the simulated range.

This isn't a Cobra issue, or a golf issue even. T  This is an everything in life issue.  Companies make product geared toward the largest amount of users possible without having to customize.  Why just complain about golf clubs?
Why cant car companies make car seats to my specific size?
Why cant apple make an iphone to the specs I want?
Why do cant I tell McDonalds how many pickles I want on my burger?
Why cant shoe companies make a shoe molded to my exact foot?
See what I'm getting at?  
Again - let's keep this thread on the topic of the Cobra F9.  If you want to have a discussion about a lack of custom options in the golf world, then we can discuss that in another thread

Well said

We kind of do have these folks... Club Champion, Tour Spec, etc.

These folks DO fit a golfer specifically for everything from loft, lie, length, weight, even sound (using hot melt), etc! They will PURE all of one’s shafts, make sure every club in the set matches exact specs, etc. What else is there to do???
Just watch the fitting for the F9 TXG did, it’s posted above. Look at all that Ian did to match that driver head SPECIFICALLY to Matt Blois. That is CUSTOM. And we all have access to it!

I’ll be making sure my next fitting includes this beast now!!! Wow! Matt is up there with Cameron Champ!

Then there’s independent guys like Will people’s, local repair shops and others who will do it as well. One just has to pay to get it done

Tried this one out about 3 weeks agao and loved the look, but it just didn't click with me.  I wasn't swinging my best that day so I may try again.  

After seeing all the chatter and the results coming through on the increased ball speed, it may be worthwhile to try it again.  However, I was just fitted to my TS3 and its going to be tough to beat.

After watching the TXG fitting today this just shot up to the top of my must try list. Doubt I’ll see speeds like Matt but if I could crack into the 160s I’d be excited.

I get 160-162 at best right now, so it would be awesome to beat that!

@matt416 casually carrying it 330. Cobra should put you on staff -- I can't think of a better promo video than your last 2 YT vids.
