We can’t say it enough: These are the most technologically advanced, most forgiving irons Cobra has ever made. Featuring their new game-changing, multi-material iron technology, the S9 Irons have higher inertia qualities and an extremely low and back Center of Gravity (CG) for high launch, greater distance and more accuracy. The multi-material technology includes a wide sole, polymer topline and urethane insert for softer feel. To sum it up, these irons are a huge advancement in advancing your game.
* Wide Sole, Low Profile, Undercut Cavity - Extreme low, back CG and high MOI for high launch, greater distance and maximum forgiveness.
* Polymer Topline - Extreme low, back CG and vibration dampening.
* Back Cavity Plate, Urethane Insert - Vibration dampening, softer feel.
* Premium Graphite Design Ys - 5.1 or Nippon N.S. Pro Shafts - Higher launch, greater control and accuracy.

Summary: I have owned these irons, 5 - SW ns pro r shafts, for the last 4 years. I was just 13 at the time and were just perfect for me as I was just starting to play some proper scoring golf.
These irons just like to have a medium to high draw all day long. However you hit them, be it off the grass like a fairway wood or a decent divot, this is the shape that you will get.
Bad miss hits will tend to lose this shale but still go the correct distance, this is where I believe the perceived "forgiveness" comes in. The distances are all fairly similar, as opposed to blades which a miss hit will cost you on distance.
As I have mentioned these irons were great for starting off however, as my ball striking has improved I have looked for something with a more traditional shape and feel. I personally now find the address view on the 5 iron uninspiring with its large offset and shallow but long face. In my latter days with these irons I began to develop a large draw with the longer irons that was more of a hinderance. I have very recently bought a set of titleist 695cb's and am playing my best golf ever, shot a 76 the other day, and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve regardless of handicap.
In conclusion I believe that these are a fantastic set for anyone who is just starting out or for whom ball striking with irons is not a strong point as they get the ball up in the air and are fairly confidence inspiring. However for anyone wanting to move on to the next stage I would recommend a set of more traditional irons such as the mp-57's etc

Summary: These are the best set of irons that I have ever had. I had the Cobra SSi Irons before I bought these. I didn't like the shafts or grips, so I upgraded to graphite shafts and golfpride grips. My distance has increased by an average of 20 yards per club. I have and always will be a Cobra Golfer for life! Great equipment and will always stack up to the Taylor Mades, Calloways, Titleists, and Nikes of the industry.

Model Reviewed: Cobra s9 Irons
Summary: I'm 19 years old and I've had thee clubs for two years now, and I must say they are the best clubs I've ever used. I used to hit my pitching wedge 130, but with these I hit it 155. They increased my distance drastically. I also bought the 3 iron separately and love it! All in all worth every penny!

Summary: I had Cleveland CG Golds, then hit these and realized what I was missing. Have the Nippon NS Pro steel shaft and hit them 15-20 yards further each! Crisp feel, and few mis-hits. Every well struck ball is a high draw, and can get over tall pines with ease even with a 6 iron. Recommended for ALL skill levels. These are money.
Similar Products Used: NONE, These are AMAZING.

Summary: I just switched from Titleist AP1 irons to the S9. I was very happy with the AP1's but I wanted to change from steel to graphite shafts. While I was trying the AP1 graphites, I decided to pick up another set to compare them to and my eye fell on the Cobras. When I hit them, they felt great. I went through the set of both and found that I hit the S9 long irons much easier and better than the AP1's and that's what tipped the scale for me. The AP1's are supposedly more workable and the S9's more forgiving.
I've played 4 rounds now with the S9's and have found that, yes, they are extremely forgiving, but I can also work the ball well enough. They are extremely accurate, especially the Gap Wedge. The ball is laser-guided when I hit it with that thing.
I especially like the buttery feel of hitting these irons. Catch it pure on thee sweet spot, and you don't even hear the ball. My playing partners have commented several times that they thought I just took a practice stroke, and didn't know I had played my shot already.
I also see a very noticeable gain in distance. I expected a little due to switching to the graphite shafts. But I’m about a club and a half longer now.
My only negative is in chipping, my AP1's were better. These clubs feel very light to me so I am having to get used to that when chipping, but I know I will with practice, so no biggie.
I also have to mention that these are very attractive looking clubs. Very beautifully designed and they instill confidence at set-up. I also like that the club face has that circular marking that helps you easily line the ball up for a sweet hit.
For my handicap, I was advised that I didn't need this level of game improvement irons, but the heck with that. I love these clubs!
