COBRA
GOLF INTRODUCES NEW 2008 KING COBRA S9 IRONS
Advanced multi-material technology for
maximum forgiveness, accuracy and distance
"The Cobra S9 Irons enjoyed great success in 2007 and we're committed to building
on that success with the new and improved S9," said Jeff Harmet, President, Cobra Golf and Titleist
Clubs. "Players who desire the combination of accuracy, forgiveness
and feel will benefit from the multi-material construction, lower center of
gravity and higher MOI of the new S9 Irons."
"The Cobra R&D team expanded the exclusive polymer topline
to allow for a significant shift in discretionary weight, which we used to
enhance the perimeter weighting of the club and lower the center of gravity for
greater forgiveness and optimized trajectory," said Scott Rice, Director
of Cobra Golf Research and Development. "In addition, the sole
design was enhanced with the new center relief geometry, for even more
consistent ball contact in all conditions - fairway, rough, sand and
greenside."
S9 TECHNOLOGY
Cobra engineers' 2008 developments made the award-winning S9 Irons even better.
The all-new multi-material design features an expanded three-piece polymer topline and urethane sole insert to optimize discretionary weighting
for a lower CG and higher MOI. Combine that with the club's low profile and
wide sole with a chamfer relief design and golfers can expect
maximum versatility and more forgiveness.
· Wide-Sole, Low-Profile Head Design:
Extreme low, back CG and high MOI for high launch, greater
distance and maximum forgiveness.
· Three-Piece Polymer Topline:
Lightweight polymer in the topline
allows for 13 grams of weight to be redistributed lower in the heel and toe -
for an extreme low-and-back
CG and enhanced feel.
· Back Cavity Plate, Urethane Insert:
Along with the polymer topline,
these technologies enhance feel, while the lightweight urethane insert allows
for 10-20 grams of weight to be redistributed to the heel
and toe to maximize MOI.
· Premium Graphite Design YS or Nippon N.S. Pro Shafts:
Promote higher launch, greater control and accuracy.
King Cobra S9 irons are available in men's graphite and steel shafts (4-GW) and
women's and seniors graphite shafts (5-SW). S9 sets will begin shipping
February 8 with a suggested retail price of $960 (graphite) and $840 (steel)
