I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction.

I am going to purchase a new iron set and after hitting a few different brands, I really liked the feel of the Cobra, cavity back, cast S9 club. Unfortunately, I can't spend 5-6 hundred bucks on clubs. I can only spend 3-4 hundred max. Does anyone have any suggestions on last years models which would be similair to the Cobra S9? I thought the Cobra SS Oversized irons would be good, but I am not sure.

Thank you!

Do you know your specs? There might be last year's models in the used area for that price, and if you know what shaft you need, lie angle, etc, and if your specs aren't too uncommon, you can probably find it with some looking.

So, last year's S-9s might be $400. Remember: there are people who will buy new clubs every year, just like there are people who will buy a new Lexus every year. Getting the one-year-old model can save you good money if you know what you want and someone reputable checks that it's in good working order.

There is always ebay. I'm sure that you could find some used s9s on ebay for the price range that you want.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%!
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
