I have decided to buy a set of Cobra S9 irons after hitting with the 2008 model and reading the reviews.

However I saw that the 2007 model was Golf Digests editors choice, and I heard that the two models are different.

Has anybody played with both models? Can you please give me any info or opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of them?

The 2007 model is $100 cheaper so if it is as good I would be happy to get them.

Also, I have tennis elbow which sometimes flares up when Im golfing, particularly hitting of mats at the range - and as I am in Japan, thats all I can afford to do most of the time! - so I was thinking about getting graphite shafts for the first time to make hitting balls more comfortable.

Has anybody hit a set of s9s in graphite? Stiff or Regular? I have heard good things about Graphite Design shafts.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Rotate those hips, baby!

I demoed both sets about 3 months ago. I actually preferred the 07 set to the 08. I ended up getting the Adams set because at the same cost, I liked the hybrids and the feel a little more. But the Cobra sets are fantastic.

I played with steel shafts. The graphite might cause the tennis elbow to become worse, because you would be swinging a ligher club.

      Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
