Cobra Golf Unveils Base and Pro S9-1 Series

In the early 1970s, a new line of golf clubs emerged that would prove to become a top name in the sport. Founded by Thomas Crow, Cobra Golf released its first utility wood just two short years later, using a patent-protected sole-plate design. Less than twenty years later, the King Cobra oversize irons clobbered the competition as the best-selling irons on the market.

Over the years, Cobra Golf has remained at the forefront of new developments, bringing a better overall experience to avid golfers. With so many different types of irons on the market, Cobra Golf appears to adhere to the motto that there is always room for improvement. With the February 2009 release of its King Cobra S9-1 drivers, the company remains a design leader.

Named after the “Hotter 9 Points” face and Speed Tuning, the S9-1 products claim to provide a faster ball speed and a more dependable drive. To create a driver capable of producing these results, Cobra Golf combined a conventional design with internal capabilities to bring the line to new heights. The S9-1 collection starts with group of base drivers, consisting of six Speed Tuned models, and progresses to a series of Pro clubs.

Available within the base series are the F, M, M offset, women’s, women’s offset and senior models. While “F” and “M” provide information about the driver’s shape and launch ability, they also have some bearing on Cobra’s Speed Tuning system, with F best-suited to speeds of 125-155 mph and M considered more appropriate for speeds of 110-140 mph.

More experienced golfers will appreciate the smooth design of the King Cobra S9-1 Pro series, available in two models. The S9-1 Pro S supplies an advanced launch and low-to-mid spin, encouraging a higher shot. For a mid-to-high launch with low spin, the S9-1 Pro D is sure to produce fantastic results. Both models feature a square alignment and seemingly weightless composite crown, available in 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5 degree lofts. The King Cobra S9-1 Pro series also comes standard with a Cobra/Matrix OZIK Xcon 6 shaft.
