Cobra Fly-Z Drivers

[saevel25]

Looks like Cobra's new driver will hit the market early next year,

The Fly-Z+ has an adjustable weight to move the CG more forward or back on the driver. Still has their adjustable hosel for loft and fade/draw bias.

Taking a page out of Callaways. They Fly-Z+ will be made with a composite material crown to lower the CG even further.

Probably the biggest feature is the "Speed Channel".

This small channel is around the entire face of the driver. This supposedly increases the sweet spot of the driver further.

May only concern is if you hit that area with the golf ball on a bit mishit. Will it shoot the ball off in a strange direction or damage the club?

The last two driver models from Cobra have had solid reviews. I will be interested to see how this driver performs.

I doubt it. A dimple on a golf ball is probably a bigger issue than that "channel."

Looks very nifty. As a happy Bio Cell+ user, I'm very interested.

True

Composite material crown? If weight the big concern the crown may be painted plastic ribbed with titanium threads. Or styrofoam but can't advise cleaning with gasoline.

I like the black and orange motif.

I know it has already been addressed but if you hit the ball out that far first of all you are doing something very wrong, and second its going to have terrible results, but so is every other driver on the market if struck way the hell out there

Weird!  I'm a cheap golfer that buys good quality stuff used. But I tried this out in my local Golf Smith today and boy did it seem easier to him than my TaylorMade R5 XL. Of course I didn't have them side by side but still it seemed a lot harder to mishit.

I saw another review somewhere where the golfer said the same thing - hard to mishit. Could the design be that much better?

On my list to demo this weekend. I used the AMP Cell most of last year and haven't driven the ball as well since selling it. Every review I've read says the Fly-Z is head of the 2015 class for forgiveness.

Since I just bought my Bio Cell+ I doubt I'll be getting this. I need to get out of the habit of getting new drivers so often and just flesh out the rest of my clubs with fitted clubs. If I hadn't just gotten my driver at the end of last year I'd probably really be interested in this.

i have been gaming the fly z for a month or so.  love the sound and forgiveness but i am still blocking a lot of my drives to the right.

any suggestions?
