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.

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.

      Day 234: Quick range session. Working on lower body stuff in the backswing. Looking slightly better, but going to need more work. I do think I lost a bit of my previous wrist stuff in the backswing while practicing, so something to keep an eye on.

      First option, easily. ± 15 yards with an 8I is unacceptably poor. Every iron would basically overlap two other irons plus a little into the other one (max of one, min of the one two irons away).

      By klineka ·

      I'd still take the first option. Knowing exactly how far your ball is going to carry every single time is huge.  Plus an average dispersion of 30yds isn't that big, that's still going to result in the overwhelming majority of your shots on the green.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Well, I kind of suck.  I meant it as 15 yards to the left or 15 yards to the right. ... Which would actually be a 30 yard dispersion. But I'm an idiot... so there's that. 
    • klineka
      Would You Rather…?

      By klineka ·

      The first choice, absolutely no doubt IMO.  A 15yd dispersion is PGA Tour level with a 7 iron. you mean to tell me I'm going to hit my number within 1-2 yds AND be like 8yds left or right at the most? Yeah I'm taking that every single time. There'd be almost no excuse to miss a green honestly.   A distance control of +- 10% is 40yds from 200yds out. That's not good.
