Anyone still gaming Fly-Z Driver?

[BirdieRoll]

I'm happy with my Fly-Z driver (R stock shaft, solid drive for me is 240), have no complaints at all but am wondering if I might be missing out on some distance with the new offerings from Cobra, PING, etc.

 

Wondering if anyone has compared their Fly-Z to the new stuff and stayed put or made a change? (If I make a change I would very much like to continue with the matte black look).

 

I like to test clubs outdoors but there's a bit of snow that has to melt first...

It seems to be driver tech has either helped everyone with forgiveness or helped fast swingers gain distance but not much distance increase for the moderate guy. I could be wrong and I’m sure someone of more expertise can school us

I am, love the fly z. Hits straight and long. Best driver I have ever owned.

... All things considered, distance, accuracy, trajectory and forgiveness, the Fly Z was the best driver I have played. I switched to the Epic last season because it was longer and almost as accurate, yet on certain courses I put the Fly Z back in the bag. However, the F8 and F8+ combines the best of the Fly Z and the Epic with the accuracy of the Fly Z and the distance of the Epic. Also the best feeling/sounding driver I hit at the show this year. I have both the F8 and F8+ on the way with Even Flow Blue shafts.

Bought 3 drivers since but the flyz is still in my bag. I’ll be going to get fitted soon. Again. Lol, probably will end up with the F8!

I take my Fly Z and my King LTD to the range all the time. Currently, the Fly Z is on the bench but the King LTD is on a short leash. The range and a ball speed machine show there is really no difference in the drivers for me. The LTD is newer so I have been playing it more often.

 

One thing that helped my with the Fly Z was getting the Rogue Black shaft from the LTD. It made the Fly Z a better club for distance and feel. I didn’t care for the VCLT and switched to the Cobra Kuro Kage from the Amp Cell Pro and the Red Tie from the Bio Cell Plus, but the Rogue Black made a nice improvement. Normally, I play Stiff shafts but I got an X shaft in the Fujikura XLR8 and that is equal to the stiff Rogue Black for me.

... My son is an ex college all conference DE at 6'3" and now a lean 245 and I put him in a Fly Z with a 16gm weight and a Nunchuk shaft at 44.25". He just pounds it carrying it 280+. I tried to give him my LTD as well as my F6 with the weight up front. One round each and he went right back to his Fly Z.

Have demoed the Epic and 917 but am staying with my Fly Z. Distance is consistent, not leaps and bound better but accuracy is great at shorter 44.5 stock R shaft. Need a 12 or 16g weight to play with, BTW. if anyone has one they can part with let me know. Cobra no longer has them.

I still have a Fly-Z non + and am always up for blowing money on a driver I don't need but I continually go back to the Fly-Z. Tried the +, LTD, M1 and 2 Gen 1 and 2, Epic, last 2 Ping G releases don't even know the names anymore...haven't tried an F8 yet but who's kidding who I'll definitely donate to them again

It was a nice driver but no. The long term quality could have been better.

I think the FlyZ+ was one of the best drivers released in the last few years. I could easily put it back in my bag with no complaints.

I am still gaming fly z with stock stiff shaft. I had a hard time finding a decent driver but fly z is the one for me. There might be longer drivers out now but this is a fairway finder for me so it stays in my bag for now. I am not gonne try F8 out, dont want to like it becouse my wallet cant take it :)

Agree with you on the Fly Z+. I play it with the weight forward and the stock shaft in stiff flex. Have had it set at 8.5° loft for the past 2 years, but am planning on trying it at 9° and 10° once the courses open here in Wisconsin.

It fits so many different players and swings as well. I played it weight back with an old Red Tie from a Bio Cell+ at 10.5 degrees and it was perfect for me. I kick myself for selling it even though I really like my LTD.

I also still have Fly Z+ in my Cobra bag.

Still playing fly-z+. Have had fittings last 2 seasons and they say should keep mine. The G30 ls tec that was close and ordered it. Played it for a couple months but it was about 5 yards shorter on course and not any more accurate so went back to fly-z. Good driver
