Can anyone review the Cobra S9-1 Pro Series Drivers

[Diggaboy1]

Never swung one but think they look really good. Can anyone provide a review.

[TheNuclearOne]

They are a fantastic bunch of drivers, just be sure to get the right model and setup. There's something there for almost everyone. Gone is the MT 44 gallon drum sound too. VERY solid lineup.

i have hit the 9.5 pro s model with the made for ozik shaft on a launchy & the S9-1
in 9.5 stiff with the adilda HL shaft

PRO MODEL

My impression was the sound was great considering it is a cobra and the black face looked awesome. the swing weight is fantastic and you can really feel the head in the swing. center contact is rewarded with good feedback and you know you hit the middle. off center contact was surprisingly more forgiving than i expected but this driver will show all swing flaws without any hesitation. realisticlly unless your swinging it at over 100mph it is proberbly not the driver for you

S9-1

The closed face is their, but not as bad looking as previous models, they have addressed the ear piercing sound quite a bit and this has help. For many the sound may still be an excuse. the face is really hot and super forgiving with not a great lose of distance according to computer. the shaft feels soft but chasing a few with it i got figures of 280m and 290m which was great but just didn't feel in control of the head when i got those numbers. If your into closed faces and want forgiveness and distance go hit this thing. it will impress in many areas

will provide another post on 8th of July as i hit these bad boys outdoors at a range demo day. hope this helps abit and the PRO quote is pretty bias as the figures on the launch monitor were pretty freakin sweet

I have hit both the Pro and S9-1 in 9.5 and 10.5 deg models, reg and stiff. Very nice clubs and worth the savings over some of the more overpriced drivers like the titleists etc. Absolutely forgiving and not a bad sound. The Pro is harder to be consistent with as its designed with higher swing speeds in mind. Unless you consistently swing over 100mph as said above just go with the S9-1

Like TheNuclearOne said, spend some time and choose the shaft and loft thats right for you so that you get the correct ball flight. Ball flight should be higher than older drivers as the balls are better suited to a higher flight apparently these days. If you can hit them on a range it would be ideal to see the flight rather than on a launch monitor IMO.

Def worth a look mate, and I'm considering one myself..

Hit these tonight. 9.5D with a stiff Matrix 6 and a 9.5 S with a stiff matrix 6.

Great feel, very titliestish in sound and felt to me exactly how the 909 D2 did off the face.

I loved the S, he D was good but flew way lower than the S did ! Me and my mate both thought the D had a stiffer than stated shaft as kit just didn't zip, and I was hitting low fades :shock:

Nice crubs 8)

Um, what? I thought you were the hook-master, fighting the left, always looking for a super-open face angle and all that?

Buy it! ;)

[Lucasto23]

yes, Buy the S model and then sell it to me when you change your mind:)

[just]

Does it come in a 12*?

[Lucasto23]

Just, not a chance. the hack version does i think:oops:

What driver are you gaming at the moment 3

[3oneday]

XLS Tour. I almost puked after hitting a few Cobras and then returning to the XLS :lol:

I'm struggling to find a Pro model though at your $340 price !

[henno]

So is he.

[Lucasto23]

15 July all should be right. i'll let you know as soon as i do boys

[TheNuclearOne]

Entirely possible, given this went for a comparable price. This price with a guy shipping to Oz would make the cutoff.

A bit light on for feedback for mine, but he didn't do international.

New is around $290USD usually at best it seems, used is as low at $200 but you'd be lucky to find one to send here.

Maybe $400 AUD is more realistic.
