The 9 iron is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
A two-handed blunt melee weapon that deals decent damage per strike and decent critical hit damage, though a low durability means it will need rather frequent repairs through vendors, weapon repair kits, or with other two-handed melee weapons via the Jury Rigging perk.
Visually, it appears to be an old golfing club that has been bent and battered after many years of exposure to the elements.
Special attack[]
The 9 iron has a special Fore! attack that does regular damage in V.A.T.S., but at the cost of 13 more action points will knock down enemies (requires a Melee skill of 50).

- Note: Melee weapons do double normal damage in V.A.T.S.
It is possible to execute Fore! outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
Durability[]
The 9 iron can successfully strike about 295 times from full condition before breaking.
Variants[]
- Nephi's golf driver - a unique variant used by Driver Nephi, a high-ranking member of the Fiends.
