The thread is for everybody.
Build Your Cobra KING F9 SpeedBack Driver
I think my setup would look like this:
F9 White 10.5*
PX HZRDUS SMOKE Stiff -1" length
Tour Velvet Grips
F9 White 10.5*
PX HZRDUS SMOKE Stiff -1" length
Tour Velvet Grips
Are any of these gross the type that have the front hand built up? I know the connect for the F8 had the golf pride MCC+4 which is my grip of choice and I've also have used the Lamkin tour taper which are similar. If not I'm sure I can have them build it up with tape. I'm now going through THP fork reviews of the shafts to see if one fits my game. After experimenting with The Attas the past couple months I was hoping to see it there.

The Attas is a mid trajectory shaft many will be similar.
9* Project X HZRDUS Smoke stiff Crossline Black
Ship it!!
Ship it!!
Yeah, I was gaming the tensei blue 60 before the Attas and that would be the easy choice. I am planning to see what options are local for me to try out. Anything up there with a similar 'solid' feeling like the Attas that you or anyone else would recommend?

I've got an old Amp Cell with an Aldila NV 65 shaft that was an absolute workhorse for me when I was prepping for the Morgan Cup. I think Aldila shafts get along really well with Cobra clubs, as a general rule.

Most don’t like my suggestion, which is don’t overthink the shaft. Find the weight that works.
Hmmm... Tough ponder between the Mamiya Helium F4 or the Smoke 6.0... I am very familiar with the Smoke and it gives me good numbers, but I have heard great things about that Helium shaft (and read them here on THP).
I would go with
Avalanche 12 degree head
UST Helium 5f4 shaft
Cross line black

That's a great list of shops in options! If it were me I think it would be between two shafts and then have to match it to the coordinating driver head haha
Hzrdus smoke with avalanche
Yellow with yellow

Wow lots of options. Is it worthwhile for folks to see what shaft fits in the F8 for shaft selection?
Oh boy that's a lot of shaft options.
For the head I will most likely be going with 10.5 degree, that is what I currently play and also sometimes bring it down a degree to 9.5. The color is also up in the air, love both the look of the yellow and white so may come down to matching the color scheme of my shaft.
With the grips, are various sizes offered (such as tour velvet midsize), or are the grips offered in standard size and would need to add a few wraps to get them to midsize? And with the F9 grips, are those any particular grip that is just rebranded as the F9 stock grip?

How about the following:
King F9 10.5* - Avalanche ........ This most closely matches what I've been hitting for years, and the "Avalanche" color would look better than the yellow with the shaft I chose.
Project X HZRDUS Red 65 - 5.5 .. The HZRDUS Red, in 5.5 (R), gives a little higher launch, and would work better than some of the others for my slower swing speed.
KING F9 Black Midsize ............... I would usually go UTx Black, but they don't list it in midsize, so would go with this one.

It could be, but this is a pretty different driver. Go with a weight comfortable with and most times it works out.

Ooh tough choice
I have found success with several 9* heads by lofting up to 10. For some reason the 10.5* heads don’t seem to work the same way, but it’s definitely between those two lofts.
Having not seen the heads in person I’m tempted to lean yellow over avalanche.
As far as shafts i would want something I haven’t tried so it’s between the helium, Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue and Fuji TS Atmos Blue

Alright THP!! What do you guys think I'll be going with? I'm really curious to see whether my profile is visible enough for many to make selections for me. I know I've talked about my game plenty on here.
What's your guess?

I have an idea but I’ll let others guess first
I am actually considering letting the forum pick the shaft for me from my three choices, could be fun
