COBRA SPEEDZONE or COBRA F9 DRIVER WHICH ONE IS THE LONGEST EVER

[@rikh78]

definitely do a speed training update, it's good to see blokes over 40 actually getting faster instead of just the young lads bombing it

[@jonisthebest99]

The vastly different results from last year's review speaks to the quality control of Cobra. Fantastic driver but it's conceivable to think they can't be at the same standard as some of the more established companies. Great review, I'm in the market for a driver, these two will be high on my list

[@KennieKatGolf]

Jon Walsh I’m hoping that’s not the case. I know manufacturers all have tolerances but I remember him being MUCH shorter then his normal distance at the time of his first F9 review. I’d never buy another club without getting it spec checked.

[@MrE004]

This. All of this, although Cobra customer services have been fantastic with the 2 F7+ heads that have broken for me, but I don’t think that a fairly average (although fast) player should be breaking driver heads, and weights, to bits!! I think the price point people love about Cobra maybe because they haven’t quite got the quality control etc of other brands. But they do make up for it with incredible customer service when there is a problem.

[@carlincledon4794]

Personally I would say that it points to the fact that Mark's swing is not going to be the same from day to day, let alone year to year.

[@Adrian-yv8sy]

most impressive thing in test is me haha love it - The Mark Crossfield Show everybody

[@carpykeith]

We need to see you & Dan with the training. I’m getting one of those sticks so REALLY interested in your results! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@paulwills3774]

carpykeith Mine have just been delivered can’t wait to get using them

[@richardwigley]

Dans just dug out the speed training sticks and is currently in a pool of sweat in his back garden.

[@thehammer5871]

Rich W presumptuous of you to think Dan has had the time to watch this video because he has most likely been in his back garden covered in sweat since they started the competition 😂

[@uctpclh]

I find Mark's surge in speed more interesting than the new clubs to be honest (although I do appreciate the club reviews).

[@paulgnz08]

Speed my zone! Would love more videos on your speed training Mark, impressed you’ve kept your accuracy while increasing distance.

[@jporter504]

Looking forward to your vlogs on your swing speed training. You have always had a picture perfect swing with little or no wasted movement which is why I found that your club comparison vlogs were relevant because you are as close to a robot as I have seen. The additional speed is just icing on the cake.

[@willbateman156]

Would love to see your speed training!

[@jgo304]

I was legit happy for Mark when he hit that one 302.....

[@adamchastant5426]

YES! I definitely want to see more of your speed training. I'm contemplating the SuperSpeed trainman system to gain a few yards in 2020, so your reviews on that topic are appreciated!

[@nicholasblair460]

This video is worth watching for the closing statement alone!! Brilliant Mark and please do a video on how you are getting faster!

[@2009Stefon]

Let's get some speed training videos up Mark please. This is the time to be increasing speed/techniques etc plus I would love a review on the speed sticks as tempted to get them but at £200 I'd like to know more beforehand. Also lots of buzz about the garmin g80 because of the launch monitor built in...any chance of a review for that as I've seen others but would like your opinion on it Cheers bruh

[@willo283]

You don't need to spend money on speed sticks... i've just got an old 3 iron and brought those weight rings that you slide down the shaft of Ebay and swing those around. start off with holding the head and swing the shaft L/R handed x3 then hold the club properly repeat.. then add weights and repeat... then do step throughs.. repeat.

[@GolfAfter50]

I bought the Superspeed Golf speed sticks and used them for the last season (was only able to get about 3 months in a row doing their recommended 3x per week workout though) -- I gained about 8MPH or almost 10% swing speed: about 100 av before to 108 +/- after. They worked for me.

[@christianstelzl2494]

I’d love to have a little update from Dan as well! Just to keep up your challenge and motivation boys! 💪🏽

[@rcp2bTube]

Best driver comparison anywhere on youtube. Well done mark and Cobra.

[@geewilliams2178]

So interesting. I have just brought an F9 after doing a fitting, of sorts. Basically an hour in a booth at my local shop with the pro testing a variety of clubs. The cobra was great but I was then fortune enough to be able to buy one off a friend who is no longer playing. Problem is I can't seem to get on with it!!! Yet in the shoo it was great. Thought it was just in my head. Spec exactly the same. Don't know what to do!

[@FunkmeisterOfSedgley]

Mark, I'd really love to see how the new SZ compares to the old SZ from 15 years ago. They did make a legal COR version of the old Sweet Zone. I had a 440cc version which was fab.

[@simonbolitho9289]

I would love to see what you are doing with the speed stick training. Loving your videos, thank you so much.

[@davidwharton6333]

A good review as usual. Just makes me smile when you compare to clubs and the distance between them is not startling!

[@DonJohnson-TheBassPlayer]

Very good video. Cobra F9 is the best driver I've owned to date, and I've been through a lot. Make sure you leave the heavy weight in the back for better consistency. Cheers!

[@ScottDreyfus]

Cobra came out and said there were some issues with batch variations in the f9 head. There were some extremely fast heads in the retail market that "may" have exceeded cor after wearing in. On the flip side there were some duds that were prone to failure. I was surprised they replaced it after one season but I think it sold well beyond expectations and they simply didn't have enough supply left to stretch 2020

[@SolomonLi]

Curious to see if the speech training regimen is speeds up gradually or quickly... but, I do love the classic compare. I like the look of the new one over the old...but wishing there was an all black one...

[@davidpwhitehouse]

As usual. Great review. Speed training definitely having a positive effect. when u say it wasnt the same head as you previously tested (F9), do u mean that there are inconsistencies with the manufacturing process so giving you 2 heads with different results?

[@samuelmitchell1434]

I just bought the F9 at a discounted price for 2 79 out the door does that mean I got a cheaper head or is it the same one just manufactured differently

[@leontaylor5490]

Speedfield!!!... crosszone.!!!.. your speed training is what we need bruh. Some vids on that please.. great vid guys xx

[@mcfisherclan]

Hey Mark, just been doing some hitting bay work with the F9, wondering if you found the same issue I did... the milled face eats balls! We had a standard face driver and the F9 and the balls got marked and fell apart considerably faster with the F9. This is something no one is talking about with these drivers, but if you go through balls 3 to 4 times faster that has to be a factor that buyers need to know about, surely... can you do a video? Get in touch if you go ahead, I think it’s a good video and something people would like to see

[@injuredtabletennisplayer1474]

Your swing is as statuesque as ever. Just lovely.

[@andyking4149]

Hi Mark. I'd like a video more about your speed training as well. However, bit curious, how about a video around your filming set up for this type of vlog. Are you all alone that studio, how do you set the cameras? How do you set up quad and get the numbers up? Who edits, and how. Who decides what stays and what doesn't. Cheers Brah. Keep 'em coming.

[@TheBradleyp63]

Good job! No more Mr. Parfield, Mr. Bigfield!

[@injuredtabletennisplayer1474]

Would you do video on your “10 finger smasher?” Why 10 fingers when you hit harder?

[@miked1365]

I have noticed your swing is faster looking, did not know you have been speed training. I am currently finishing a 3 month mobility program with a local Titleist performance trainer Marie Hall. Next step for me is speed training so when our frigid winter is over I can get to playing well again! Curious about your significant improvement.

[@theelmagoo]

DUDE!!! You're gonna need a longer fairway soon!!!! :)

[@Magicmeatbag]

I wonder if one year you guys could do a blind test where you said last years model was this years model and vice versa and just listen to what people said while comparing them.

[@paulk3198]

Awesome stuff Mark, would love to see what the training is your doing. I know you did a video on this recently of all the swing thoughts you can do to draw/fade the ball, but I would love if you do a video on what YOU do, I know its all dependent on peoples swings but would love to know how you play those shots specifically with driver. Cheers for the great content!

[@neildaniel590]

Great review AGAIN! Very interesting point about tech not always linear. One observation ... Dan’s hiding during the speed competition!!! Yet you MC are out there revealing all 👏👏👏😂

[@logancrawford1]

7:35 absolutely LOVE it.

[@jeremycrowley994]

Excellent comparison interesting that you hit the F9 better this time round.......keep up the great work.....👍

[@rikkiallen6064]

Great content I'm very interested in what training you are doing and how much time you are putting in to it cheers

[@legend9018]

Love it Mark! Different head, maybe some manufacturers tolerances in construction. I wonder if you had access to a loft/lie machine and you could get true numbers on those heads?

[@dereknicholson5789]

Hi Mark my first post, can you please explain comment about this is not the same head read into that what u will. Do you recon the head has been improved or tweaked through the current year ???

[@paullatina7413]

I would love to see what you are doing for speed training. I worry as I age,44 going to be 45 In a month, about losing a lot of distance. Have you been able to test your speed training on the course yet or just indoors ? Thanks for the great content all these years 👍🏻

[@brucefrank5556]

Yes please, more speed training. I'm closing in on 60 and trying every trick in the book to keep speed.

[@craighunter1014]

Would love to see more videos on what you and Dan are doing in terms of speed training. Impressive jump in carry!

[@leewalford2468]

Like a fine wine 👊🏻

[@davidgoodwin101]

Always been a cobra fan and still use the Biocell, think it was 8 years when it was released. But maybe time for a change Speed me up speed zone.

[@slicingit5742]

Speed zones, speed channels, speed slots, speed bridge, speed foam and my favorite anti-speed resin ( to bring it back to legal limits) yet my club head speed, ball speed have stayed the same for about 8 years. PS- and yes I buy a new driver every other year because I want one and all the cool kids do it ( not because it will go further because it doesn’t)

[@slicingit5742]

Although I haven’t tried speed training ;)

[@mrlargent]

Wonder what differences the shafts make... heads and swing will perform differently.... would be good to know what they are for each/every club you test...

[@jcbb30]

Line ball and 262 obviously 😀 Uncle Dan has some catching up to do, long ball. 👍

[@michaelmiddleton4184]

I would really like to see Cobra T-rail iron numbers especially the scoring end

[@brentjewell9641]

Marc nice review today! Iv been using f9 for 11mths and was waiting for you to do the comparison with new speedzone! How about a disburtion test?

[@seancook2264]

Would be great to see what your doing in terms of the speed training. Been looking at the winter improvement programme and any thoughts on tried and tested methods would be useful....

[@73henny]

Good test. Would love to see you test some other manufacturers though. Wilson irons for example.

[@keithfinley2939]

I think you showed that the new one is more stable in game situations. They're essentially identical out of the middle.

[@restaurantcostambar]

First time ever, first comment! In the Dominican Republic here, keep up the great work guys!

[@hbyrdut]

I would like to see more what you're doing with speed training. When I did it I lost club face awareness with driver. I rarely miss to the right, right handed, but when I was speed training all my drives went right. Also, did you have any high toe strikes with the F9? How did the 2 compare on high toe?

[@paulbown3960]

Interested to hear your thoughts on club consistencies then, two F9 drivers but one that performed poorly on the high toe hits?

[@goamber2162]

Great clip. Fun

[@jameswheeler4692]

My opinion is there going to be so similar there won’t be much of difference I do think the f9 will still be the better value because of that difference. My vote is the speedzone will have like .5 mph head speed over the f9 but the overall distance is just a little less due to the spin

[@jlash259]

Great video. I don’t see a reason to buy the speed zone other than cosmetic differences. But the crown of the speed zone definitely looks better in my opinion. Also, if you don’t post speed training videos, I’ll unsubscribe.

[@connorandreas6753]

Great work with the speed training Mark! Love your content as always

[@andrewstewart106]

Both great sticks to whack a ball with, now with a slightly faster engine #26...... erm 272? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts about the F9 head not being the one you tested previously, are you thinking tolerances or what you bring to the table each day?

[@Seminolecountryband]

Great video Mark. Just wondering what happens to clubs once you're finished reviewing them?

[@Matthew-88]

Hi Mark, could you do a video on the speed sticks and if possible a comparison between the Nike Covert 2.0 Tour to your current driver

[@kerrytom08]

Yes speed training! Want to know what your doing, how often your doing it, who your doing it with, what your eating before you do it. Oh ya and can I do it from a chair because I've just had a knee op to fix my acl and am driving myself mental watching and not being able to do anything.

[@josephprivett89]

Good luck with the recovery brah was in your shoes 12 months ago to the day. Back on the course by June

[@keithkatz1350]

Dude this speed training is definitely working. Question is do you think it is worth it for us seniors with 85-88 mph swing speed and which set would you get the regular or the senior(lighter weights). Cheers from NorCal

[@thehammer5871]

Interested in the speed stick update, makes me wonder if you would be in the 300 club if you started when you did the video with lee, have you stopped doing as much training that titleist suggested ?

[@richardhyne8370]

Great test Mark. Well done on the long drive stats. I don't know about speed training but looks like you have lost some weight!

[@jakeleech3972]

Price point of these drivers over the likes of titleist makes it a no brainer purchase... if mark wasn’t sponsored he’d be talking a lot more about this

[@DavidPetryk]

Great review. Curious what weight and flex shaft did you have in those?

[@joshuabaker1836]

Mark, exactly what kind of training are you doing for club head speed? Are you doing any barbell/ resistance training, overspeed golf training, or what? I am trying to increase my club head speed because I think I should be able to swing a driver at least 115 mph.

[@stuartmclachlan1932]

Hi. Picked up a new f9 for 250 quid. Noticed it doesn't have the cnc milled face. Why is this. Is there difference in performance. Why cobra done it. Thanks

[@Macsquirty999]

Great review and good to see you getting longer, so when is it going in the bag?

[@jameswheeler4692]

I would like to see a more in depth on the speedzone and the difference between it and the mizuno st200

[@davidrichard4300]

Speed boy!!! Would love to see another vid on you and Dan with the speed sticks

[@zaheerkader7426]

Screw the clubs ...you the winner all the way brah!

[@joecook8352]

Mark I would love to see the process and updates on the speed training, are you doing more stretching as part of it?

[@carlincledon4794]

Love to see a video on your speed training

[@shmeme8971]

It will be interesting to throw the F8 in the mix because everyone trashed that driver, apart from yourself or course. Anyone figures out what happened in the year the driving distance dropped off randomly?

[@brodysilverfox2476]

Curious to see the differences... apart from cosmetics 1st glance they seem pretty similar

[@philipsmith6152]

Great video, What are you doing to increase club head speed ??? cheers

[@grahameturner7415]

More on this speed training please Mark

[@mikereed3287]

Please show more of your speed training!!!!!!!

[@Your_Mailman_Grows_7121]

Please, please, please, put these or newer 2019 drivers vs the old SLDR 460/430. I've been chasing more and more distance forever like everyone else, but nothing can beat (only OG Cally SZ is close, as you know). With driver still being my go to club, a club I love with my peasant ss of 100-103 but nothing will beat it. Please just for fun can we take a poke at 2019 tech, and see if it can still compete with ol' faithful? For Fun...?

[@robjelley1138]

Would live to see more on the speed training.

[@ashleymesch1699]

Why was that a different head? Defect occurred? Warranty issue?

[@bensteward9006]

Liiiiiiiiine balllllll! Club drop! Completed it mate 🏌️‍♂️

[@allancameron9580]

That’s another thing you’ve got in common with Justin Thomas - “I love me some me” 💪🏼😉

[@bigfatgolfer4692]

Does the fact that you made a point of saying "this is not the head I originally tested" mean you think theres an issue with Cobra's tolerances or that they made an alteration to the design in later models?

[@michaelkoster2869]

Great video! Could someone post the link to his speed training video.

[@tu8z]

I found on the F9, with the design in the middle of the club face, actually ‘etches’ away and damages the golf ball.. have you found this??

[@pictor2000]

Happened a lot with the F8. Not so much with the F9 where the face is more flush with the crown.

[@jaybyrne4562]

Mark "Parfield" Crossfield could be a thing of the past! Hello Mark "Bomb ball, strokes gained" Crossfield 😂😂😂

[@jensbrandin805]

You´re gaining some sick speedz Mark!!

[@eddiex72]

hahahaha... I hope Dan was watching!!! Club drop, hilarious!

[@craigbrown9574]

Cobra listened to the consumer about the looks of the top op the driver but no difference so go for the cheaper f9 hopefully

[@andresd11]

Would luv to watch another vid with Andy Sullivan! Cmon Mark you can do it!

[@mattwells6527]

Can you do a comparison of the f6, 7, 8, 9 & speed zone

[@stevec2435]

Hi mark, so were the f9 numbers better with your high toe strike this time round?

[@jaysonbax3420]

Great vid Mark, would love to see some speed training vids 👍

[@andresd11]

Yep, would very much like to see what you are working on to get 10y linger and still consistent. Cause it looks like you are still in balance, not jumping or doing anything “funny”. Please do tell!

[@mitchmorris8973]

You said it bruh, very impressed with your new speed and still hitting target 🎯 💣 ⚽ 😁 👍

[@mcjose5907]

Yeah, please do some speed training stuff
