    Posted about these in another thread.
    I got a set of these a couple of months ago and I love 'em.
    They weren't the longest iron I tried but were the straightest.
    Very forgiving and very straight, also I find my distances with each iron are more consistent.

    Out of interest what were the longest that you tried and how did they compare in terms of feel and forgiveness ?

    thanks

    Check the lofts of the respective sets before you compare length.

    I have a set about 18 months and absolutely love them, very forgiving and make it easy to get the ball airborne......... nice "feel" as well which is not the norm with all the competitors

    Easy to get airborne....does that extend to the long irons as well ?
    I am ok at best with my 6 but can hardly get my off off the ground for example.

    Out of the ones I tried, the Taylor Made R7 Draw were the longest.
    The lofts are much the same in both sets - strong, 44° PW.
    The feel was better in the Cobras, this may be due to the plastic cavity insert and from what I've read the Nippon shafts are top notch.
    On poor strikes there wasn't much difference in forgiveness - both were very good.
    On decent strikes the Cobra's were higher and straighter and distances were very consistent .
    Also I preferred the look of them behind the ball - the black cavity insert gives the illusion of a thinner top line and for me that makes them easier to ine up.

    Starting FPs these days, but gamed the S9 in the past. Broader front to back sole on the S9 tended to give a a few miss hits but my pro says thats due to the nature of my swing. S9 considerably more spendy also. Still quite liked them thou, better feel than any tittys I have tried. Depends on your own swing, but I see the S9 as aimed more at Sunday Joe, rather than serious golfers (my swing speed is 127, carry 295). Better control and lower dispersion than Mizzis in my view and really kills any Pings(I know, Im a real gear ho). They sure launch hot too. Best with the 95g shaft, XS, tipped 1/2" for control if you are a whippy hitter, or they could be real hook machines. (BTW the FPs are looooooooong - closer in spirit to the L4V, a REAL cannon).
