The irons use low and wide tungsten weighting to keep the COG low in the irons and the Centre Of Gravity gets progressively higher towards the longer irons in the set.
The Conventional sole width also gives workability on these irons while the thin, C & C milled face ensures control and ridiculously high ball speeds.
A Multi Material badge dampens any unwanted vibrations while tungsten weighting keeps the MOI high in the irons.

The clubs have a lot of loft, allowing you to get the ball in the air while the Tungsten Weighting keeps the center of gravity low.
You shouldn’t have any problems getting the ball in the air with these Irons.
Cobra F9 – First Impressions
Straight off the bat, the F9 irons look like exactly what they are, distance irons, with a solid and compact club which boasts a wide sole.
Smart tungsten weighting keeps the COG low in the irons and an ultra thin CNC milled face allows for exceptional ball speeds but also feel and control over the ball, especially in the shorter irons.
A Multi Material badge dampens out any unwanted vibrations which again adds to the feel of the clubs and progressive hosels ensure the perfect weighting for every club.
With Arccos sensors fitted as standard on the F9 irons, these are going the be great for mid handicappers and improving players who want to work the ball a bit more but still get the most distance possible.

Who Are The Cobra F9 Irons For:
The clubs are going to be perfect for Mid Handicappers and improvers looking to forego a little bit of forgiveness for more control but still want to get more distance.
The clubs wont be for complete beginners but they are quite easy to hit far and straight at the same time.
The Family Of Irons
Cobra have really come into their own in terms of golf irons and the F9’s continue to be incredibly popular with their reduced price.
The F8’s which came before were also a quality set of clubs that the F9 set has worked on to add extra feel and performance.
The Cobra Speedzone & RadSpeed came after the F9’s, bringing 3D printing and Artificial Intelligence into the mix to slightly improve performance over the F9’s but not by that much and the F9’s remain a quality set of clubs for a bargain price of $500.
Distance: 94/100
Accuracy: 93/100

Feel And Control: 94/100

Aidan Lehane here, I’m a Mid-low handicap golfer who has made tremendous progress in breaking 90 in just over 1 year of playing golf seriously.
I get out to the course or range as often as possible and review all the equipment I’ve come across on this blog.
