The S9 is nice. Very strong set, the gap wedge is 49* and pitching wedge is 44*. I did the Hot Stix program at golfsmith and it spit out a list of clubs that I should play. Of the 10 clubs on the list I hit the S9's, Ping Rapture and Callaway Fusions about the same. Hitting them all pretty similar made an easy decision as the Cobra S9's were about $400 cheaper than the others.
