Full Answer
What makes the Cobra F9 driver so good?
The Cobra is very aware of the roll sound and feel play in choosing a driver and has gone to great lengths to ensure the F9 combines a dense muted sound with an explosive feel. Center hits have a very solid and unique sound/feel and you instantly know you have hit one as good as it gets.

What's the difference between the Cobra F9 and RADSPEED XB?
The F9 was a little longer (I hit some of my longest drives ever with it), but the Radspeed Xb is a lot more forgiving for me. Like another poster I’m finding center of face more often too. More sharing options... My F9 cracked a month ago. Cobra was nice and sent me the Rad Speed model. So far I've seen some major differences.
Is it possible to play the XB with a F9 driver?

Sony Open Pics from January 11, 2022 Part 1
I was able to get out to the Sony Open today to take a few pics. I guess due to Covid precautions they kept the spectators pretty far from the players. Also due to camera...

Polymer and Titanium trips have been used on the crown and sole respectively to ensure better airflow.

Okay, so just wonering if anyone else had experienced structural weakness to this extent!? Admittedly the shot was quite near the toe, but even so… that's crazy. Waiting on a response from Cobra UK - hopefully they'll sort it.
justasgood
So you hit one high out on the toe..........Then ran it over with the cart? Not sure Cobra will cover that......
Valtiel
Wow, thats something. I'm curious about all those scuff marks/scratches on the front of the crown above the toe, most visible in the third pic on the right. How did all those abrasions get there?
Socrates
Just looking at the pictures (esp. the 3rd one) and you could have a Father, a Judge and Boris Johnson say the damage was legit and I would have a hard time believing them. But, the only thing that matters is what Cobra will say.

I've owned an F9 for 7-8 months and no issues yet. However I'll let you know what happens when/if i miss the sweet spot
hack2489
As others have noted, it looks way more than just striking a ball high on the toe.

If Cobra replaces that driver then I'm going to get myself a Cobra driver next time.

What does CT mean in golf?

Does the F9 hit the ball higher?
What that means is the F9 will hit the ball higher and is very forgiving when mishit. Overall the F9 has great aerodynamics (low drag) and excellent mass properties (low CG and high MOI) something that has not been accomplished before the Cobra F9.
Is the F9 a special driver?
By now it is pretty obvious the F9 is a very special driver so it makes sense it comes with special colors. To my eye they are just beautiful at address with a glossy black crown and a subtle Cobra logo alignment aid but underneath is a very fast race car yellow and easily visible when someone else is swinging one.
