9 Iron

The 9 iron is a melee weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This old 9 iron is bent and battered after years of exposure to the elements.

This item, or the unique variant Nephi's golf driver, are used for the Gun Runners' Arsenal challenge A Slave Obeys.

Special attack
It 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 that in Fallout: New Vegas melee weapons do double normal weapon damage when used 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.
