Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This RU-vid channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

This video came about 6 months too late for me 😭. My wife bought me one for my 40th last July. I've barely used to due to an injury so had no clue it wasn't the original F9 that Rick had been raving about a couple of years ago. I just ran out to the garage to confirm but I knew as soon as Rick said about the different headcover. Pretty gutted to be honest, I've been waiting about 10 years to get a decent driver. It's going to annoy me every time I pull the bloody thing out my bag now... I won't tell the misses as she'll feel bad. Disappointing that Cobra feel the need to dupe people to turn a profit.

@kevinregan3224 2 года назад

A couple of thoughts: (1) I'd be interested to see how the F9S does with the original shaft and (2) is there a 9 degree F9S model (I'm not sure I trust that dialing down the loft of a 10.5 degree driver is the same as using a 9 degree driver).

@phonypeeps7020 2 года назад

I was thinking the same thing about the lofts

@lorneg.thompson5328 2 года назад

It has "usually" been shown over the years and many videos that knocking down the loft on a 10.5° head to 9° is not the same as having 2 9° heads go at it. The 10.5 head reduced will likely still spin more. Not a fair fight. That being said, shame on you Cobra for the deception!

@sckildare2772 2 года назад

Dialling up or down the club head doesn't actually change the loft it actually just changes face and lie angle to create lower or higher launch conditions, but can badly effect spin axis and actually have the opposite of the desired effect especially if your changing loft to try open and close the face

@NickMeyer8 2 года назад

@JohnSmith-uf8qi 2 года назад

@jonathansauerschell5645 2 года назад

Really interesting video, my only thought, because the F9 was 9 degrees standard and you had to adjust the F9S to get down to 9, perhaps the delofting changed the face angle (I.e open vs closed) which can impact delivered loft even if the static loft is “the same”. Not sure that accounts for 600 RpM and 10 yards consistently though.

@jhale83 2 года назад

My thoughts exactly. I still wouldn't think it would be THAT different to be 10 yards but it's not comparing apples to apples when you have a true 9 deg head vs a 10.5 deg head adjusted down.

@erock1070 2 года назад

Great comment. Loft sleeves effect the face angle more so than loft. Unless he’s perfectly squaring the face back up at address will it actually play at the lower loft. Most people don’t re set the face so my guess is he just had a bit of an open face with the S model. Too much loft. Which explains the slower ball speed and more spin.

@plaga85 2 года назад

Would be interesting to see like 5 shot of each head with 9 and 10,5 degrees.. and see some average numbers.

@XxSoBeHaLLxX 2 года назад

I know going down to 9° does change the face to probably 3° or 4° open so it’s quite the difference.

Awesome video Rick, would love to see a another review comparing two heads of the same brand but in different lofts, specifically I’m really curious what the results are when you use the loft sleeve to match the lofts like you did in this video. Is it possible that’s partially responsible for the increase in spin? Thanks again!!!

@Obi_Wan_Shinobi_81 2 года назад

Good on you Rick for pointing this out. Consequently, the original F9 (2019) can most likely be purchased used for around the same price, which is something you recently advocated for, and clearly has better performance. SO many of us appreciate you always looking out for other golfers.

Absolutely right!! I think if he wouldve used it with the Helium shaft, carry distance would never had gotten past 230.

@JSGolfer 2 года назад

@@mikecooke2357 Mike, I think that’s a fair point; I don’t have an issue with Cobra selling a cheaper driver, I think the issue here is the effort they have gone to to give the impression it is an F9 plus the retailer putting a “Was £379” sticker on there when it clearly never was!!

@ESikora12 2 года назад

It may have been suggested already, but I’d be curious to see a head to head with the original F9 in a turned down 10.5° head. Cobra did make it known that their 10.5° head on the F9 was a higher spin setup vs the 9° head, regardless of where you dial the loft sleeve to play. Still expecting original F9 to win out on ball speed with that CNC face, but I’d guess spin numbers come closer

@zacharybouthillier6182 2 года назад

It’s the Driver that was included in the F9 complete set as well I believe. TaylorMade also brought back the M4 last year, similar story, clearing out extra components maybe.

@daujlay 2 года назад

Great review! The only additional testing variable I would like to have seen would be to put the F9S head at 9° in the original shaft. I suspect the dispersion would have been greater and the loss of distance would have been even more noticeable compared to a real F9.

@hllamasiv 2 года назад

I would think that the S head in 9* would actually preform just as good as the standard 9* head since he used a 10.5* head that naturally spins more AND he lowered the loft down 1.5* which also additionally adds more spin.

@czedicartist8955 2 года назад

Exactly. Not to mention, you’re hoping that both clubs were digitally lofted and are actually the lofts they claim. That 9 could be 8.6° and the 10.5 could be 11. Turning a 10.5 down to 9 doesn’t make it a 9, it’s still a 10.5 but you’re just delivering a different loft at impact. If Rick could actually get a 9° F9S I would be interested in seeing the data.

@@martcoombs9031 adjustable drivers don’t change physical loft. It’s impossible. The loft sleeves just open or close the face of the club. If, and only if the golfer squares the face up, then the DYNAMIC loft of the club changes. Dynamic and static lofts are very different.

Love your reviews Rick..always hit on things most don't imform on... I still have My F 8 and F 9 drivers..Only reason I moved up to the F 9 was so I could get the same shaft in my Cobra 3 Woods...I was wondering what results you would have gotten if you used the shaft that came with the F 9 S just to see how much change in results......Thanks...

Had the exact same problem with a f9s 3 wood a few months back. Well done for calling out cobra and the retailers - (I purchased mine from Clubhouse golf in Manchester) It's sly at best.

I appreciate the honesty and the fact that you have the stones to call out Cobra and the retailers who carry this. I love the cobra brand, still rockin ole bluey 3 wood.

I've subscribed to this guy and love him! He gives me so many tips so I can improve my game, start shooting under par, and every thing you need to be a top tier golfer. I'm hoping to get in some junior golf tournaments, and if I do I'll definitely watch Rick a lot. Thanks Mr. Shiels for everything you've done to improve my game :), 10 year old golfer Isaac Scott

Coming from someone who played slowpitch softball on a highly competitive level, the same can be said for certain bats when a Reissuse Model comes out. Never as hot as the original and seems to fall short. The companies brings back nostalgia as a selling point without the same performance. Not only that but manufacturers made a couple bats for specific stores. Bow manufacturers do this as well with bows

I just love the way you took up the cause, and mentioned SAS as well, good on you Rick. Your honesty is why I love your reviews and naughty might be an understatement. You actually looked like you were throwing yourself off your feet a couple of times to try to get the "S" to at least get close, can't be fairer than that
