I'm convinced that Matt could hit a 2x4 250 yds. with a tight draw.
Agreed.....time to get some stinky (more realistic) golf robots (humans) for these videos!!!
I absolutely love the Yellow as Ricki Fowler says all business on top and Party underneath
Love the "industry hack" of putting a left handed sleeve on a right handed club to get fade settings (when the club only provides draw settings).
I wonder does that trick also work with the driver....
How would it affect the loft? If the sleeve adapter says 15 degrees Draw will it make it 15 degrees Fade?
@@kvgolfa I think if Ian says it'll work, it'll work!
C G it works. Lol
Totally believe him. I’m gonna get it changed in my F7 4w. Just curious if the printed loft will be as it states after I’ve done it
Is it me or is the F9 range 'the' surprise package of this year? In that 'something about it' category?
I'm actually surprised that Cobra hasn't gotten a lot more appreciation than it does. For average players, I think they've offered good "B+" woods in particular at fantastic prices, especially when year-end rolls around. They've kept their pricing down under market premium, and kudos to them for not amping the F9 price through the roof to match up with everyone else this year.
I'm picky about feel, even as a mediocre player, and there is something about the feel off of the strike that feels a little more "brittle", but I can undeniably drill both the F8 and F9 drivers and woods.
Avalanche white for both fairway and driver as the matt top is better at address imo
I'd love to see Matt hit a lower deg fairway as a driver replacement test. There's probably a good number of players that cant hit a driver and play fairway off the tee.
instablaster...
Super Bowl so boring I turned to TXG
So impressed, I will be using this in 2020! The best sound off face...Yellow is a azn thing too.
Great vid guys 👍 can we see the hybrid aswell 🏌️
Hoping next video will go through Ian's wardrobe. The man has no shortage of sick shirts.
Just got mine a week ago, and have played 2rounds, and had a few practice sessions. Best 3 wood I have hit, ever! Dialed in at 13.5
This channel is so freakin' good! Left handed sleeves huh? Niceeeeeeeeeee :)
Hi Guys, another great review and look forward to seeing a review of the Tour Model and also the Hybrid.
Need to have your best choices for the different categories (driver, fairway wood, hybrid, irons, wedges) not based on handicap but based on ball striking... expert, intermediate, and beginner!! All these different clubs are difficult to evaluate based on Matt’s ability!! He way to good for me!! Really value your opinion!!!
Looked like a tensei orange in the cobra. So at 5:30 the cobra has the gd shaft but then at 5:40 the orange is in play. The fact that I can recognize shafts may mean I’m watching too many videos!
Great work though guys. Definitely the most in depth reviews on the net. Neat little tidbit about using the opposite adapter!
I second this. It does look like Tensei Orange shaft in F9 FW. I wonder why.
Good pickup, shaft change as well as loft change from when they started.
I think that's what Ian is referring to with this is a better flight comment
Indeed it is hahah. i was shifting through and stopping the video to see if it was a tensei orange haha. then Matt held the whole club up. good eye :)
No shortage of content, gotta love those words, the world of the TXG subscribers is great place to be, well done gents👍
Please make it a trifecta and test the speed back irons too!!
And test the one length if possible! I'd love to see TXG do a review on these and look at the gapping of the set.
I’m still searching for a TH-cam golf channel where it’s just 1-3 minute video of good golf info vs an endless video of people just listening to themselves talk…
I’m calling tomorrow to set up a fitting driving from MD to visit Toronto, but mainly to get fitted. Don’t tell the Ms. 😂
I play the f7 fairway woods. In my opinion if you struggle with a steep aoa and or height like me test the cobra range. Changed my long game. My 4 iron is a 24 degree 8 wood that stops on greens. Fantastic clubs.
Wouldn’t the speed back tour be more of a comparison to the TS3 fairway?
I'd like to see a comparison on grass, maybe some light rough to see if the rails actually do anything or if it's all just hype
Changed shafts and dropped the loft to 14.5. Pretty big changes that they didn't pay a lot of attention. I tested this club this week and found it to be 3-5mph slower and higher spin than Epic Flash or the M5 at the same loft. Really accurate though and face had an incredible feel.
The last sentence is what you should be looking for in a 3 wood anyways..
I would love to see the this club vs the tour version of it. Also a giant battle of all 2019 3 woods.
When are the CB Forged coming and how about a 5 wood for a change...
Fairway tournament like you did with the drivers needs to be done!
Love, the how far Matt can hit it video series. 300 yards with a 3 wood off the deck with the Titleist or Cobra or ..... lots of great choices for golfers. Impressive
Still waiting for that full fitting on the st190 lol
Would you test the f9 in 7 wood. My 7 wood is my money club, my go to because I know I am going to hit consistently. 180 over water into greens just have no hesitation with the 7 wood. I love the look and profile of that f9.
Why no test on the 5-6 and 7-8 fw as well??? Why not test the range of clubs???
White is matt is better for me!!!
💪💪💪👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
If the speedback helps the driver 2mph and the face on the fairway is say 40% that of the driver then it should only produce .8mph increase I would imagine.
Strong lineup this year for Cobra. Personally, I think they should restrict the color yellow to bicycle racing.
The rails really help in a crappy lie.
I game a F8 3 Hybrid with these rails and I really like it. A little heavy in the head, but it really performs well. Off a clean lie, it is a 200 yard club for me, which is saying something (68 years old, not very limber and 90 mph swing speed). It is a dead guarantee to get the ball up and forward out of heavy deep grass.
Why the switch from the GD IZ to the Tensei Orange (or Orange Pro)? This one didn’t compare same shaft. Hoping for for the clarification. Love the content!
just curious... are matt's driver and 3 wood shaft the same weight?? I guess i didn't think that happened very often.... obviously different shaft characteristics but what's the thought on similar weight?? Thanks!
Hi Guys, I have recently bought the Cobra F9 driver and TS3 fairway wood. I found this give me the best speed increase from 915 D4 driver and 917 D3 fairway wood.
I felt the feel is better for me of the T3 fairway wood, and better grouping on my shots. I may need a little bit dial on the shaft for the Cobra driver. Currently using stock Helium shaft. Still too much spin. Thanks for your testing videos. It is always enjoyable and informative of those products. Keep up the great works. Thank you!
Have you ever tested the f9 tour fairway? I am a 15 handicap and I have just been fitted into it. 150 ball speed 250 carry spin at 2800. Thanks Paddy
Just got the f9 baffle in 5 wood I was on the green in 1 or 2 all day significant help to my game
I messaged ping about the g410 adapter if the left version could make a right hand 3 upright. They said no. It was their customer service so they may not know that amount of detail but that’s too bad if it’s true. I’m one of the few that prefer a 43.5” driver with a more upright lie.
Why does no one test the cobra baffler tech against competitors on thicker turf where the ball is sitting down a bit? I would think that would be helpful to know since many mid cappers would be hitting more often out of the rough.
Interesting that Rickie just wins yesterday and he's playing the old F8+ and not the new F9.
I'd like to see you test the TEE CBx woods, the longest woods on the market, well according to TEE.
Cobra will be crowned the new King of 2019. Not only are their drivers $100 less than everyone else, but they’re arguably as good or even better.
I would suggest that the marketing boys at Cobra wanted the Speedback name on the fairway to get the sales off the back of the driver.
I have the tour edition of this 3 wood and it's incredible. Shallow face in combination with the rails makes it super easy and forgiving to hit from tight lies and the rough. And it is LOOONNG. I hit it longer than previous 3 woods even if I have the loft set more like a 4 wood.
I’m about to do a fitting next month in Lexington KY, so I’ve got plenty of new TXG homework before I do.
Any brands or gimmicks to watch for on a first time fitting for a 20 handicap? You guys really helped push me to get fitted, the high handicapper series was great.
Can you please test the Cobra MB/CB combo and the Forged Tech irons. Please
Loved your video on the Cobra F9 Driver. Do you have any shaft recommendations to help me take a bit of spin off the head? I Currently Have the Tensei pro orange 70tx in the head (I Have not added any head weight yet) i am about to change an adaptor so i can try my Kuro Kage xt70 TX In it, My numbers On GC QUAD.
BALL SPEED:170
LAUNCH: 13 DEGREES
SPIN: 2600RPM
HEAD WEIGHTS ARE FORWARD (14gram forward 2 back, overall Head weight is 198Grams)
LOFT: 7.5 DEGREES
Can someone explain that industry hack with a callaway. I have a lefty head but on a righty adapter. Its at a +1 N setting, what am I actually set at then?
Probably irrelevant, but I would love to see the difference in performance between a current model 3 wood and a Nike covert tour 2.0
Would you say this new club spins more then the King LTD?
Nice review again guys! Will the Gen 2 metalwoods from PXG be on the review docket anytime soon?
If you’re looking for left handed average golfer to test the cobra f9 series, I’d be glad to help.
Any thought to have a slower swing speed golfer test this Cobra fairway metal?
Guy's anybody can confirm that the rails do not interfere with a wanted fade or draw workability?
I am really liking what Cobra is putting out there and nice to see they're less astronomically priced than others.
Great stuff guys. Best i have ever hit a three wood, and i think the rails help avoid the odd fat muddy one which tends to creep in on occasion.
So if you put a opposite hand adaptor and increase the loft from standard the face will open opposed to closing??
Did U ever try the tour version Matt. Did U also try out the 5wood as well.
I just got fit for a new FW 3-W. I ended up with the F9 Tour model over the regular F9 and TM M5.
Just bought one and going to play it this weekend. Great review as per usual. Matt has awesome speed and power. I think he has kryptonite with his Corn Flakes. I also already have the baffler f7 3/4 and 4/5 hybrids and love them 👍
Curious as to the difference between this and last years model. Besides colour it can't be much!
Can we get a review of the ST 190 fairways? Please!
Good video, how much further would the ball go hitting the 3 wood off the tee.
Great video!! Matt could hit any 3 wood 300 yards, amazing!!
HI THERE GUYS DO COBRA DO HEAVIER WEIGHTS FOR THE F9 DRIVER & 3/4 WOOD CHEERS
If people ever find out when and where Matt plays his golf, he’s going to start getting galleries
Man those are my driver numbers!!!
Haha his 4 iron are mine ...
On a good day
Don't lie his 5 iron is your real driver numbers lol
300 from the fairway... Insane
In the market for 3 and 5 wood / 3 hybrid this year... would love to see more fairway videos
Yes, changed the shaft from IZ to Tensei Orange mid review with no mention
Forged tec One length...plzzzzzzzzzzzz:)
Also PLZZZZZZZZZ..... Maybe sterling irons too :)
@@ens8280 ... I think the Forged tec black are the best irons to review ... latest design and technology
great vid!
how about the normal m5 vs m5 tour?
Great review guys! As always. That's made for me, I'm taking small divots with my Fw and fade it 😁
Great job guys ! Which I have Matt’s swing... wow...
I'm 6'6" tall, I know the callaway and mizuno have adjustments on the hosel for lie, are any brands hostels interchangeable? For instance can I put a callaway hosel into the cobra 3 wood?
Keep up the excellent work.
no left hand for the "tour" version.
Great vid as always. My question is tho, how much difference in distance is 1 degree of loft? Considering changing my 3 and 5 Wood, m2, to a 3hl but my 5w is 19.2 degrees and the 3hl I am looking at is 17.9. Sorry for asking questions!
Can make quite a difference in launch/spin in a fairway wood
Matt, thought would share my recent experience with the 2019 Cobra F9 FWY 3-4. While shots off the centre are great, there is a big recurring problem with off centre hits off the toe/heel. Golf balls (different makes) get cut. Cobra Puma USA has admitted to me in writing that off centre hits can damage golf balls. Am putting this across to alert other potential buyers.
Seems no one has experienced similar problem.
I noticed Matt’s ball speed is around the mid 160s with around 120 club head speed, that equates to a pretty low smash factor for a 3 wood even though it’s obvious he’s hitting them well, is that a result of the gc quad reading club head speed differently? I get low to mid 160s ball speed with my 3 wood but my club head speed is around 110.
Nate Buyze Quad vs Tracman
Your 3 wood is longer then my Driver lol
what's that dudes handicap?
Love the industry hack there for us viewers. Haven't seen the Tensei orange in Matty's hands for a bit either 👍
Glad to see it performed well since I just ordered one. Looking forward to seeing how it and my FX300F work together on the course
Sorry. Super Bowl is on.
I like the white. Good review again 👍
is it "better" than the F8?
Guys what is the price difference in the 3 woods cobra vs titleist
Andy Seidler Cobra is £219 ($285 US) and Titleist is £269 ($350 US) approximately.
Another great video guys! Keen to hear your thoughts on the really unusual shot pattern from the Cobra (more distance when you hung it out to the left rather than when you turned it over to the right), I've not seen that happen before...
A couple high left ones were hit higher on the face raising launch and lowering spin leading to more distance - probably not the most typical situation but just happened to occur here. Generally a draw will go further than a push
Is any manufacturer coming out with a titanium fairway wood these days? Or is that not in fashion anymore?
M5 and Tour Edge Exotic are two I know of.
looking forward to this. Love my F8.
Great review - as always!
I have f7 fairways at the moment, do you think there's much to be gained in an update?
Worth a try side by side to see!
I wonder what they would be like off the grass guys to test those rails. Would be better than the astro because it slides on it. Would that be summit to try. Ian
Ian Nicol tough test to perform in February in Toronto. I’m sure it performs even better off the turf.
@@clubchampionmedia yeah was thinking that actually lol. You guys still got tones of snow, makes you feel like home in bonny Scotland. Me being from a wee town called Carluke and play Lanark golf club. Which is also closed at the moment because of some snow fall.
Was just a thought for later because if you hit a slightly fat one with Titleist then will the cobra perform better if the same hit happened?
A++
Could someone tell me what I’m missing with the “industry hack”? Loft and lie are adjusted by having a bent sleeve at the end of the shaft. Unless you have a Callaway or Titleist sleeve that has a slightly different adjustment system, see for yourself. The standard loft in an upright setting is always opposite from the standard loft with a standard lie. I think that switching shafts by dexterity simply mirrors the effect on the static loft, but not lie. For instance, with a left handed shaft and right handed head, a +1° adjustment would actually be a -1° adjustment. Could someone clarify this confusion?
That’s exactly what we said. Applies to Callaway sleeve aswell, +2 loft for RH is -2 loft for LH.
TXG Tour Experience Golf Ok. So the main question is why does the lie become flatter in a left handed shaft? Or did I miss the intention of the hack?
Ethan Cowlbeck uprt in LH is still uprt in RH.
TXG Tour Experience Golf Apologies, I’m trying to ask the right question without coming off as argumentative. At 2:46 it was said that a left handed sleeve in a right handed club allows for fade capabilities. How would that work if it wasn’t related to the lie angle?
In my opinion I see the 3 wood as a club to go a certain distance rather than a driver replacement, therefore the fact that it didn’t have a massive distance gain is a good thing.
Jake Horst I completely agree!!
Great video again .I like watching you guys ,lots of good tech stuff .
Another awesome review guys !
Went for a club fitting yesterday at Club Champion in NJ.
This fairway metal is by far the best fairway metal I’ve ever played!! Terrific sound/feel off the face, muted solid crunchy sound. Love it.
TrackMan numbers off the 3-4, with 10 shots my averages are: 220 yards carry, 1.46 smash, 96.6 mph clubhead speed. 140.7 mph ball speed, 2948 rpm backspin.
Got Custom fit for the 3-4 and 5-6 fairway metals (in Avalanche white) with ACCRA 2.0 200 M4 shafts
Also got custom fit for 9.0 F9 Speedback driver (in Avalanche white) with ACCRA 2.0 360 M4 yellow shaft and #3 and #4 hybrids with Accra 200H M4 shafts.
Thanks to your channel these Awesome Cobra F9’s will be in my bag this year !
I hit my F7 5-wood pretty well. Will have to arrange a test of the F9 to see if there are any gains. The F9 driver is so forgiving and if the F9 fairway woods with the CNC milled face offers the same forgiveness, then it should be a no-brainer. The avalanche color is my preferred choice, but that's due to the matte strip on the top. The hybrids all matte...so sexy. I want to buy one and then just hang it on my wall.
Great video as always! Is there a video coming where you test these woods outdoors in different turf conditions to test and see if the Baffler system adds any benefit for steeper swings?
Have about 3 feet of snow that needs to melt but eventually when the season kicks in I'm sure we'll head outside for a few filming sessions!
