Thin2win Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hello all. I've been helping my wife get fit for a driver this year, it has been an interesting experience. But one that I think could benefit many others as well. Her driver swing speed is normally about 70mph, trying to find a driver that has enough loft for her to get better numbers than just hitting a 3 wood has been hard. But today we found an incredible winner, and massive value. A driver that many of you have probably read up on or watched Rick Shiels gush over. The Cobra F9. Why was this club so amazing for her? Well, a couple reasons. First, she is 5'1", and with her swing speed, loft and backspin are huge helps. Cobra offers the F9 with a head that goes up to 14* of loft, that was 2 more degrees than her previous game. That got her launch angle up and increased her spin for 30 more yards of carry. The second reason and why this club is a massive value. The Cobra Jr program. We got her the Jr's version of the F9. Same exact head(only available in the 12.5 loft head), but comes with a junior length and flex shaft. Which as it turns out, is basically prefect for her height and swing speed. The real icing on the cake is that for the next 2 years, if she ever wants a new shaft cobra will give a free 1 time upgrade to any shaft in their stock lineup. Their thinking is a junior golfer will increase club speed over two years and will need a new shaft, so they include one. So if she does want a new shaft of full length, she gets one for free. To top it all off... It is $100 less than their current list price of the regular F9. $349.00, all day every day. So if you are looking for a driver that has a loft setting up to 14, don't buy the regular F9, buy the Jr version and use your free shaft upgrade. This is amazing in my book. That is basically $200 less than most of the other offerings out there.

Thin2win Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 I don't know what to say. Went to the driving range today with the wife, she loves the club. She is crushing it. So, I wanted to hit it... It is a Jr length and flex shaft set at 14*. So maybe 40" shaft length. Not my ideal settings... Or at least I didn't think so. Then I started hitting it, carried 10 yards further than mine and I hit it straighter, a lot straighter ... Golf is ridiculous. My radar says that I manage to swing it 3 mph faster than my current 45“ G400 Max... Someone make this make sense. Haha. That said, the F9 is an amazing feeling /sounding club. Regardless of anything else, just feels like the ball it coming off the face with a mission.
