There are like 2 or something. 

I have one. I was shopping just when Ricky Fowler won with it. 

I honestly didn't see a whole lot of difference between it and the competing brands at the time. They said it was most "forgiving" which sounded good to me.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

I'm gaming one right now. I love the sound of well hit shots off of it. Did not necessarily add any yardage to well hit shots.

I have been hitting Cobra drivers for years.  My golfing partner hit it a few times and liked it.  Then he hit his brother-in-laws and loved that one.  He was convinced to purchase one and now loves Cobra.

Its just not a Taylormade, Titleist, or Callaway so it doesn't get as much press but I have hit my driver and compared it to new drivers and I still prefer my Amp Cell Pro.  

I think Rickie Fowler is doing wonders for the Company

Sound and feel were some of the major reasons I went with the Cobra. The Ping G30 and TM (whatever it was) just sounded and felt dead to me. The numbers were comparable on the monitor, but it just felt better. Darn thing looks really nice too.

Biocell. 

My buddy has it and loves it. I have the Ltd and would love it more if I was better at hitting it more consistently.

Cobra Fly-Z.

Used TM Aero Burner for about 2 seasons previously. But loved how the Fly-Z felt in my hand. Bought it as an impulse buy for $80 clearance at GG just for kicks last fall but has become my staple now. It's all looks, feel and sound. I don't think it hits any further or shorter than any other comparable drivers. I do like how the lie angle is a bit more upright than most other OE drivers.

BTW, I have heard a few people finding the high pitch contact sound a turn off (a 'like' for me). Dunno, but maybe that's why.

Maybe retailers don't push these as much in favor of other OEs selling whose product might be more 'beneficial' to them.

I tried some last year at Christmas time, and in Orlando. I got pretty good numbers with them - one thing I liked was a slightly heavier shaft, I didn't spray the ball as much.

Related: my 4H is a Cobra FlyZ, and I really like it. A square face, doesn't have draw bias like a lot of standard (non-pro) hybrid heads.

Prediction: Cobra will make a big push now that Nike has exited manufacturing golf clubs.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I am new to this forum, so this is my first posting.  I just bought a Cobra Fly Z and it is the first Driver that I have been able to hit consistently. I really love everything about it!  My brother is already trying to borrow it from me for a golf trip.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
