It’s a stunning club that looks the part of the highest end clubs out there.
#GOLF WRX ME AND MY GOLF YOUTUBE DRIVER#
Lofting up used to have consequences, with the Cobra Fly-Z driver that is no longer the case.Īesthetically Cobra nailed it with the Fly-Z. This enables them to keep the weight a stationary component and not add to the perplexing factors that can confuse someone trying to dial in their driver. Thinking outside the box with their “SmartPad” technology, Cobra keeps the face square no matter what loft setting you choose. Putting weight to the inside or outside of the clubhead helps keep the face square at impact after the loft adjustments, and if I was to make an educated guess, I’m sure it’s the reason why some driver manufactures have gone that route. When you increase the loft, the face of the club will open up (the higher you go the more it opens), and to counteract this, weight adjustments have been added to balance this out. Maybe I missed out on all those conversations but here’s what I’ve learned. When the loft changing clubs started rolling off the shelves a few years ago it was new and exciting, but as I started learning more about what happens to the face when you make these adjustments I was surprised that I never heard many people talking about it. The face of the club features another Cobra technology that’s called “SmartPad”. It’s a bold look that oozes a power demeanor while still encompassing a high-end persona. I’m sure after rounds and rounds of abuse my opinion may differ but for now I’m a fan. They are:ĩ° / 9.5°/ 9.5°draw / 10.5° / 10.5°draw / 11.5° / 11.5°draw / 12°Īside from the pure beauty of the Verdant Green crown I’m a huge fan of the black face. Speaking of loft, the Fly-Z driver features Cobras “MyFly8” Technology which brings 8 different settings for the player. It is customizable by changing the Fly-Z weight (4g, 6g, 8g stock, 12g or 16g) so you’re not entirely limited to just loft adjustability. The new “FlipZone” technology on the Fly-Z+ is refreshing and very unique, but with the Fly-Z model Cobra kept the rear weight stationary. Even with the high gloss finish of the paint the glare was surprisingly minimal at address and never have I received so many comments and compliments about the color of a driver head since the “white” craze took off like it did a few years ago.Ĭobra hasn’t been one to shy away from the adjustability thang when it comes to their drivers. It carries with it some flash and flare but at the same times represents the look and style you’d find in an exotic “1 of 1” collectors piece. It’s a phenomenal color for a driver head. There are six different crown colors to choose from and I definitely stepped outside my comfort zone when I requested the Verdant Green. The shafts come in four different flex options, X / S / R / and Lite, so there are some different configurations to match your swing. Next, the Fly-Z offers a rear, low CG leading to a higher ball flight with less spin for the midrange player, and lastly for the higher handicap golfers they introduced the Fly-Z XL.įor this review Cobra sent us the Fly-Z driver fitted with their stock Matrix VLCT SP shaft in regular flex. yeah, I’m getting old. Their top of the line model is the Fly-Z+ with its “FlipZone” technology- aimed at the low handicap players in the 0-10 range. For players like us club manufacturers have been kind enough to develop more than just a tour-style head to ship out to the masses.įor Cobra this meant creating three unique driver heads, and by them doing so, I feel they’re more in touch with the modern golfer than the majority of club makers out there today. For some it’s an every tee box occurrence, but for others, present company included, it happens not as often as we would like. There’s not too many things in the glorious game you can do that brings forth such utter jubilation as piping a drive right down the middle of the fairway. Cobra Golf’s new Fly-Z line has been garnishing some rather outstanding reviews across the golfing world since its release not too long ago, and I for one am thrilled this club has been in my bag to start out 2015.
