Really like the look of that 5w.

[br61]

Very nice looking clubs. What's the difference between S9-1 with weight port and one without the weight port? What would the S9-1 w/weight port be called?

[Redman]

I know they are under the same umbrella as Titleist and there are the Vokey wedges, but I would like to see them come back out with their own wedges like the Trusty Rusty. Those were some bad a$$ wedges.

[kevcarter]

WOW. My first look at the S9 drivers and FW woods. Now I see why they were an instant success with their tour staff!

The S9-1 Pro D model is the best looking driver of all the 2009 offerings. Awesome looking stick, I can't wait to try it out.

[SheriffBooth]

Dang, that Pro-D is putting the "D" back in Deep Face for sure.

I've got a man-crush on that S9 Pro 5w.

[knightd_2001]

Wow I do like the S9-1 Pro D and pro fairway woods.
I could definitely see those going in my bag this year.
I have been looking for a good fairway wood as I did not carry one last year.
I was going to pick up a speed pro 13* but I think I am going to have to wait on these.
If anyone has hit either one any feedback would be appreciated.
I am seriously considering going with an all Cobra bag but I don't know if I can get a set of the Pro MBs to
compare to my MP29s that I have had for years.

Thanks

Very excited to try the S9-1 Pro S and S9-1 fairways. They look absolutely great. In fact, I've not seen a better looking club for some time. Looks like you get a 'real' X-Con 6 for a stock shaft as well, which is great.

Any early reviews on the S9-1 models?

How do they play and, importantly, how do they sound!?

The sound is phenomenal. Nothing like past Cobras *phew*.

The Pro fairways reminded me a lot of the old Titleist PTs or 970s...very compact.

Totally agree, these COBRA offerings are STOUT.

[owaisdurrani]

The fairways have a really nice look at address.

cobra states on their web site that it is a "made for" X-con. Upcharge for the real thing is around $250.

[rocketman76]

In the pic 5 from the bottom of the Pro driver face. how close to missing it was the guy who left the tee mark way out in the toe....

I dread to think where that went . I guarantee he is cranking it at 70mph and trying to play a stiff 9.5!!!!

The one without the port is the F model. It also has a Ti top on it. Not Carbon like the D or S.

This showed up in the mailbox about an hour after i posted. The real Xcon is $200 upcharge.

The fairways look so good I am really excited about these.

Yep... STOUT is a good word for it. DEEP face and the shaft guys kept raving about the performance of the S9-1's.

real good. A real smallish and rounded shape.

[Eagle006]

Cobra seem to market these clubs based on swing/ball speed, as they have done previously.

I am right on the border for the Pro S (103 - 105 SS). Presumably all the clubs are at the max COR of .83, so what would I lose anything going with this model rather than the Pro F, designed for slightly slower swing speeds?

Besides head shape, you'll probably see lower spin and a square face going with the Pro model.

So, the Cobra Ozik Xcon6 that comes stock in the Pro series is not a "real" Xcon? For clarification, why is the price of the Pro series drivers higher (than the other S9-1 line) if their stock shaft is indeed only a watered down version of the Xcon? Thanks

I don't think the price is that unreasonable. If you buy an FT-9 with the real X-con shaft your looking at around $700+. The 909D Comp is $499 with a "made for" Ozik shaft, and the Cobra is basically the same technology. Presumably the made for X-con shares the same X-con technology as the real thing, probably just softened up to fit more people.

[aslan]

Anyone demo the SZ irons - looks like S9's with a wider sole.

[blastoff]

who are the three guys in the picture?

[floyd]

the "S" really looks sharp, can't wait!

It's been like this in previous years as well. I'm assuming its the composite crown on the Pro this year that allows them to charge $100 more than the F Speed.

And Cobra custom dept only has R,S,X in the X-Con 6 and 7. No SG which was a tad dissapointing. So 1/2" tipped stiff is what went in.

[cbm]

Can't wait to see these S9-1 pro fairways!! They loook awsome ! Got a Diamana WB 83x 5ct waiting to be gamed too !


Thxs for the pics guys Great job @ the show

[Shoutout33]

Ok. Not trying to be rude or funny with me askin' this, but where are the irons? I mean drivers are cool and all, but I wanna' see some irons and wedges! This isn't the only thread for Cobra is it?

[professorxak]

For those that have hit the S9-1 Pro D, how does it compare to the 909 D3? I love the looks of both of these drivers, and I am sure they both perform great.

From my understanding, it seems that the D3 would be a little lower launch and spin, but just curious if anybody else could describe a head to head comparison of the two. Thanks

[loopshow]

no fubuki in cobras or 909's ?!?!?!?

thats sucks

I tell you what, I just bought a combo set of the Pro-MB and Pro-CB and they are the best I've ever hit! And I've played and demo'ed a lot of irons. Nice low, piercing trajecxtory (I struggle with the high ball) and great feel. I have been searching for this set for a long time and I finally the one.

[tpgrrr1]

I'll add at least 2 of these clubs to my bag when the season starts!
