At last normal golfers testing new clubs, well done.
Glad you enjoyed Leornard

I like that you had the average golfer to test them. But I feel if you would have switched the weight to the low spin on some of them, they would have gotten even better results. A few of them got higher launch on the cobra than their gamer, also had more spin cause their ball to fall out of the air. Therefore not show any improvement if any.
This maybe one of the best club testing vids I've seen, maybe ever. Something that actually relates to us the average golfer and not just a pro club tester bomber. Just need a woman in the mix and and I think you could own this niche. Keep it up mate and post more of this type of review!
The spin rates was higher is why the f9 wasn’t going as far as there normal clubs. Should have put the weight forward for them
This. The 14g in the back and 2g in the front makes the F9 spin like crazy. 14g up front and its a different animal.
Absolutely, the ex pro had a spin rate was almost 33% higher with the Cobra. He said it was 15 yards shorter. If he was fitted so the spin rates were closer then surely it would have been a different story.
the average golfer doesn't play of 9,11,16, I would think that 25 plus would be average golfer ,need to add in some hackers to the test to make t real
Did the last guy swap the weights? That'd probably fix some of that spin problem which caused him to lose distance vs. M3. Maybe not all because the M3 is a very low spin driver but just curious.
Yes we gave it a go Jacob and spin reduced as did launch, this was the best set up
@@TheAverageGolfer Gotcha. Thanks for the update!
What about the shaft, same? That would effect the spin as well.
@@praetorian7861 No each had different shafts
@@dannyhoulton4992 Shaft was Atmos 75 XS
I really like that you had 5 different golfers test this club and compared it with their existing club. Great way to review a product!
I agree with all the positive comments below that this is a great format and is much more relevant to average recreational golfers, please keep them coming.
I really hope that Cobra does well with the F9 and that they give TM and Callaway a poke in the eye, £500+ for a Driver that is no better than the previous model is a total Piss take!
I am sure it will do well, lots of positivity
Andy...in my opinion this is the best way to do club reviews...all the the other TH-camrs doing club reviews are generally professionals...99% of us are not. This format generates a lot more trust for us handicap gofers that the review is honest but more importantly relevant to our golf ability. I vote to use this format for all your golf club reviews...it would certainly make you unique in the TH-cam universe.
Great feedback thanks Bill
The Average Golfer I concur, for us 7-11 handicappers (my best golf is behind me). A broad spectrum of ability testers is by far the most ‘trustworthy’ reference point. If I had a swing like Rick I’d be a shop pro or teaching pro, but I don’t. So I need 250-270 run out, straight drives and this review gave me the confidence to consider the F9 (although my Rouge is pretty damn good)!
That's a great format Andy. Having people compare to their gamer club is a great idea. Looking forward to other reviews like this.
Thanks Frederick
Amazing format!!! This is what WE need to see!!! Please, much more of this...it will truly set you apart from the rest!!! Well done sir!!!
This is the best way to give a proper review of a golf club
Great video
Scratch, 9,11,11 and 16 are you aware the average handicap in the uk is 19 only one tester even near average
Cobras price point is perfect, it's getting a lot of people talking about them and a lot of eyes on the driver, which in turn will get eyes on their severely underrated selection of clubs.
I think Ricks review will also be a massive boost for them
@@TheAverageGolfer don't underestimate your reach aswell! Being average if not bad golfers ourselves, I would much rather watch your reviews on clubs as I would get a better representation of the club, and you have a lot of people who follow you who think the same thing!
@@eyupgolf8271 Appreciate that thanks
Can you test the NEW Cobra King Forged MB/CB combo irons came out on Nov 2018 with 5 stage forging process.
Excellent video, it would have been helpful to know what shafts they were fitted into and what other options are available.
“The 5 golfers test”
The best! non scripted, most relatable information of its kind. Best of luck with it Andy!
Smart way of testing clubs. Could I suggest that you all go to the next level and review the 3w & 5w. They always seem to be neglected. Thanks Amigos.
This format is great and more informative and possibly you could widen it a little to include seniors golfers who form the best part of a lot of golf clubs these days
The pro needed to move the weight forward in the head
agree, I question how good they were fit, with shafts, lofts etc. But the M3 is a great driver to be fair. But my experience with the F9 is that for a lot of us the head is too light (190grams). My fitter added 8 grams to the head and the spin dropped dramatically and much easier to control to turn over. Might not think it makes a lot of difference but it really did. And he did that without telling me so no psychological effect at all.
I absolutely love the data format you used for this video. The dispersion for each of the players current driver vs the F9 is what I am normally missing when I listen to new gear reviews. I like that you also picture their current driver to better understand the visual preference of each reviewer.
Aside from all the technical lumps and bumps are they concealed when you're setting up?
Excellent review for the normal amateur .....can you do the new Mizunos as well in this format?
Best review format I’ve seen. Good mix of abilities and previous brands to compare with. Definitely make more of these. Breath of fresh air.
Interesting format..nice. Were the golfers fitted by Cobra, or just regular or stiff end of?
Great video - please do more (epic flash and subzero, m5, M6, titleists). More specs/data on each club would help to understand potential variables (loft settings, shaft stiffnesses, etc). For example, was the spin up for the scratch golfer because the loft was higher or the shaft wasn’t tuned? Was the titleists guy’s D set to the stamped loft at 9.5 and the cobra at 10.5? Interesting to know. Keep it up though, great stuff!
This is the best review of a golf club I have seen on TH-cam. Need higher handicap in the group but the right way forward!!!!!
Great compliment
Thanks for the video...one of the best videos I have seen for Cobra F9 and real good comparisons....Would like to see a review of the Cobra FG V6 irons vs the Callaway Apex Pro 19 irons...Thanks...Ali
Great video. Interesting comments and numbers. Really ready to get fitted for one of these in the coming weeks so videos like yours are vital. Big thumbs up.
Best test ever. Please make more!!!! Real avg. golfers. We are the ones that buy the clubs. Very useful. Go team average!!!#teamavg
Love it!
very good golfclub review! Nice to hear the avarage golfers honest opinion, and not a sponsored pro! (c;
Brilliant idea of using different club golfers giving honest reviews well done Andy more please
Thanks and will do
Would have been nice to know what stock shafts each golfer used. That being said, I really appreciate the format. Average golfers' opinions is more relevant to most of us than really good golfers' opinions. Thanks.
Great way to test clubs. Nice one Andy. More please.
Great video. I like your idea of having a broad sample of handicappers testing clubs. Would also be good to see what diffeence it would make if you adjust the club for each player. Would they improve on dispersion and distance?? It would also show that the tek works?
I found my new driver..in asian yellow too! IMO, lower hcp will notice more subtle differences than mid/high hcp players and know wut they are looking for. Most player just need consistent game improving and the few 15% need accuracy and feel.
this is what all test videos should be about - normal, club players comparing with what they currently have in the bag. Surprised with the stats on the Cobra, seems to be a higher launch / higher spinning club with perhaps a bit of draw bias ... might give it a go, spot on about the price point; £350 seems reasonable, I baulk at £450+ for 1 club
Good video, makes a change to get the amateur golfers review.
Best video I have seen in terms of relevance for... the average golfer. Well done Andy!
Best way to get an idea of how the Average golfers feels is to test with the average golfer. Great video
Great review! Never seen a pro spin a driver that much.....hmmmm
Doesnt affect his performance on the course Nick
Like the format! For me F9 has same face as the F8 which I also found had no feeling about strike location. My Taylormade M1 (2017) I can call the impact point reliably even though 14 HCP. That for me would be pretty much a deal breaker.
Do the same next week for the new Ping Gxxx that's coming !
Excellent review, great to see the difference with their own clubs and the cobra 🐍. Surprise there wasn’t much distance in the new and old driver. More reviews like this please
I was also surprised
This is what the public want - reviews by the public! Well done for this!!
Great way to get feedback, please do more of these - seeing other golfers trying the product and giving their opinions is very helpful! Thanks.
More to come
I ordered one from my local golf store yesterday after I tested it for an hour in Trackman. Love everything about it. Sound, Feel, Performance.
I ordered 10.5 deg, Hzrdus Smoke Stiff shaft with a length of 44"
Great concept, well executed! All reviews like this, but put yourself in the mix. :-)
Much more useful to me! And if the manufacturers claims year on year are true, they won’t mind these videos either. Pro golfers can’t test the dispersion claims. Mid handicappers can!
Do more of these - golfers from a range of scratch to 18 handicaps
Wow, what an absolutely great video!! This is the kind of video people want to see when possible. Once again great video and thanks.
Great reviews and format Andy well done, I tested this against the my current driver and some of the new batch out and saw a pickup of 3mph in club head speed and 12 yards and sound and feel were fantastic.... Definitely helped me to drop the spin moving the heavier weight to the front and lofting down a bit hit some bombs!! Pre-ordered it on the day as a no brainer at the price point!! Totally agree with the comments about some of the new driver prices its getting out of control and going up every year without any added performance so fairplay to Cobra for keeping it a very reasonable price point.
Great job! I'll take a review any day from an everyday golfer versus the pros. There is nothing wrong with the pros except their world is not the everyday golfer's world!
Great video Andy! More such videos please!
more to come
This was an excellent video Andy. I'm waiting to see what other companies are bringing out and I hope you do the same format with them.
Nicely done Andy!...I Really like seeing different players for comparison on clubs.🍻
more to come
I very like it! Very interesting to test golf club with reals amateurs!
This was the best review I've seen for all us real golfers. More please.
big compliment
Brilliant video!
Great video !
Keep up the great work... From California USA,
Hi Andy watched the f9 video with the five golfers it was a good video sold the f9 to me ordered white from American golf ,can you do a f9 video your self please we hit about same numbers .Thanks
Brilliant unbiased loved it
Great watch Andy. Different to what's out there. Would love to see this roll out regularly into 2019
Defo more to follow
this is the video ive been waiting on
the pros reviews dont really mean much
Great way of testing! Please continue with this method, Andy.
thanks Rob
Great video with excellent format. Helps seeing real golfers testing against their current club. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Great review in testing and honest feedback, I myself have had a custom fitting for the F8+ but I knew the F9 was coming out and wanted to wait, I’m now going back to get fitted and try this one, it looks great and I’m sure the numbers will be also, thanks again for the review Andy.
Hope it goes well for you Stuart
I have the f8 plus and love it but I've got the f9 it is jsut that little bit better mate. Get the f9!
Need more of these types of videos. Excellent!
more to come
Its amazing to me how different people who try different clubs have different results and thoughts. I'm a 10 hc. I was professionally fit for an F9 and could not be more happy! Straighter, longer, etc.! Came from an TM M3. I tried them all while being fit. But someone else could get better results from a Callaway or other manufacturer. So weird! To each their own! There is NO "best" driver for everyone. Everyone is different no matter how many companies tell you "this is the best driver for 2019". It will never be for everyone.
Great video!
👏👏 great idea for a video
Great video!
I find it kind of odd that an 11 handicap can only hit a driver 179 yards, an 9 handicap, 237 yards, a scratch golfer, only 259 yards, and another 11 handicap only 209 yards. Those numbers seem very low.
Not sure I have the answer Bob but this done in Jan/Feb - later testing sees distances go up by 20-30 yards - whether the cold on the day makes a difference I don’t know - in the summer my long hits are 240-250y and carry takes further (when I find the fairway 😉)
I would like to know where you rank the Ping G410 hybrids.
Excellent, really enjoyed it.
Simply awesome
thats a compliment!
Keep these coming !!!!
Super detail. Very informative and enjoyable
Andy. Great innovation doing things this way with a range of golfers. I think this is the way to go for all clubs gives us a much better idea of pros and cons and who it works for and who not. Love to see that for irons, wedges etc too. Great job
Plenty more to come, new vid posted last night in same format
Agreed. Well done. I love how the regular players gave their own feedback. The style of the video was perfect.
The title says average golfer as most golfers are over 18 handicap how can this be useful,get some true average golfers 18 and upwards and you might be on to something.
This is such a great test. Must be hard work to arrange and film, so well done Andy for the honesty and effort you put in.
Thats the issue Simon really, pulling everyone together but worth it
Probably the most honest review I've seen on You Tube, well done you.
Great compliment Simon
👍🏻great way of testing clubs
cheers Chris
Great video!!! Love Team average golfer.
Why switch drivers if the Cobra spin rates are too high, and less yards.
Great video, keep up the good work 👍🏼
Great video, enjoyed the varied opinions. So much more relate-able than watching some pro hitting it 300 yards and then commenting on the colour.
Cheers!
Great format! ("Normal" player and a pro). Keep up the good work! Greetings from Sweden! :-)
Great video! Well structured and quite enjoyable. Just discovered your channel and happy to subscribe
Lewis's spin numbers seem to be much higher than I've seen from other pro tests....Did he have the larger weight at the front?
Most players there should not worry about spending money on a club. Golf lessons would be a much better game improvement. You can't buy a swing the only place you'll find that is in the dirt thru practice.
.
What a brilliant channel! Glad I found you mate👌
Good video Andy. Like the innovative format and comparison with their existing drivers. Given cost was a common theme, any chance of reviewing lesser known manufacturers' latest offerings such as Tommy Armour, Tour Edge and Benross as a comparison against the 'big boys'?
Johnny Macc good idea Johnny I will do my best
Great to hear the unbiased assessment from average golfers. Proves that new clubs don’t get everyone longer drives. Working with my pro over the next few months to find the right new driver for me. Love to see more of these for the new releases this year.
Good luck Terry
Brilliant video Andy well done mate 💪💪👍👍
Thank you
I did a personal test of the Cobra 9, Taylor-made M5 and the Calloway Epic Rogue. After seeing results, the Cobra is my pick. It seemed to be easier to hit. The differences between them was actually minimal as far as performance (distance, spin, head speed, etc.) and the pricing lower. What is not to like???
Hi Andy, Great way to test clubs for all of us amature golfers. I enjoyed watching as much as you did making it I think. Would have liked to see you hit it too?? One of your best reviews . Pleas ekeep doing them🖒
Cheers John more of these and maybe my input as well
Solid review Andy, enjoyed seeing golfers of different abilities hit this club. Though the stats do raise some questions. Were the golfers fitted into different head lofts, shafts, flex, weight settings to optimise their performance? For example Lewis the scratch golfer was spinning it over 1100rpm higher than his own fitted M3, too high at 3519rpm, this would have significantly reduced his carry distance with the F9.
Each had a different shaft, weight changed for Lewis produced lower spin but also lower launch, no doubt always potential to tweak and change but happy with the set up each had.
Excellent review. I think one thing that stands out for me, is how little improvement there is compared to drivers that are 4/5 years old. I think the guy playing the 915 was noticeable in the sense that his dispersion (bar one hook), was much better, however thought the cobra was better even though he missed it both ways. Distance isn't everything...if you find a driver that gets it on the short stuff, then don't switch on a whim of 5 extra yards!
