Cobra S9 irons v Cobra S2 MAX irons

[PaddyHarrington]

I had my heart set on buying the new Cobra S2 Max Irons.
I can't afford them at the moment due to my up coming wedding,they are currently retailing at €499.

I was up in my local golf shop yesterday and I seen a set of brand new Cobra S9's on sale for €220,now my question is,would there really be a huge difference in tech in the two years between these clubs?

I see the S9's also got a Gold award in the Hot List for SGI irons,as did the S2 max.
At €280 less than the S2 Max irons would I be better off going with the older but yet still brand new irons?

Iron technology hasn't changed a whole lot. I would venture a guess that you probably couldn't tell a lot of difference.

Both are a great set of clubs.

Although I haven't hit both of these, as far as a "huge difference" in technology from the S9 to the S2, no way would that be the case. Surely there are some differences, but if you can only afford the S9s, they are perfectly fine irons. There is only so much these iron manufacturers can do from one line to another. Look at the Callaway X-18s, X-20s, X-22s and now the new X-24s. They all look and perform extremely similar. Like if you were looking at Wilson Staff, you'd be perfectly fine going with the Ci7s instead of the newer Ci9s. The Ci7s aren't anything less than the great irons they were before the Ci9s came out. Good luck.

Yeah I was thinking there wouldn't be a huge difference between the two in terms of tech,but in terms of price €300 is a huge amount in the difference.
Think I will go for the S9's,I'm still getting a good club I would imagine?

Surely if you are PaddyHarrington, you should be buying more Wilson's though Being under contract and all .....

I have hit both S9 and S2 Max and did not notice much difference, but then again, my swing is not so precise in any event.
