The Cobra 08 S9 irons are designed for players who want maximum accuracy, distance and feel. They utilise multi-material construction to develop a technically advanced iron providing the ultimate in forgiveness, distance and feel. The lightweight three-piece polymer topline allows for 8 grams of weight to be redistributed lower in the heel and toe for an extreme low-and-back CG enhanced feel. The back cavity plate is also designed to allow for 10-20 grams of weight to be redistributed to further maximize MOI. By combining this with the Cobra 08 S9’s already low profile and wide sole with a chamfer relief design – you gain improved versatility and more forgiveness, all offering even higher launch, greater distance and more accuracy than before.
The 2008 versions of the Cobra S9 iron are an improvement on the old model. Like the other cavity backed irons in the Cobra range, the forgiveness was excellent and these are probably the pick of the bunch for mid handicap players. The black insert can take some getting use to from above, but we thought this was a good looking iron and great value for money.

The Cobra 08 S9 irons head is just too long for my liking. They have a bit of an old Callaway look about them, but are a lot easier to hit and a bit more forgiving. They do exactly what they are meant to do for the higher handicapper, giving a nice high flight and a solid forgiving feel through impact. A good club for the market it is aimed at.
