I like the look and have had really good luck with the Pst few Cobras, but I don't get what the Speed Channel is. What am I missing?

Hmmmm, the Fly Z + looks very interesting.

What are the stock shafts in each? I am not familiar with them.

Does anyone know the swing weight of each driver? I thought the SLDR was too heavy.

Fly Z+ looks really good. Does anyone know if they have plans for a Pro head like the Bio Cell line?
[/quote] I read that they don't have plans to release a Pro head, they feel the fly z plus fills that role. That being said, wouldn't be surprised at some point next year to see a pro version

I am so looking forward to these coming out. I play the Bio Cell Pro now and love it. I hope this line can kick it out of the bag. I think I read that the adapters form the Bio Cell line will fit this head? Can anyone confirm this?

Yup, they'll work. Similar to what Nike did, they made the adapter lighter, but the older MyFly8s will work.

I see what Kyle said above, but I've seen it posted there could be a Pro-type version later on in the year. I have a feeling the Z+ will be plenty sufficient for most people though.

I tried 6 drivers this past season, and the Bio Cell + was the best for me in overall performance. It was my first Cobra driver, and now they are on my radar screen. I will have to try the Fly Z+ now that I know first hand how good their drivers are.

Can't wait... But I can't get specs to pull up on the cobra site to see what the he'll those shafts are.

I hope one of these is as straight as the ZL, but goes as far as a Bio Cell.

I bet the FLy Z+ is gonna be an improvement from the BC+. If it's anything like the BC PRO, I would jump all over it. The BC Pro is soo damn good for me. The best driver I have ever had and I had pretty everything.

Always Changing!!!

I saw it on another site and the quote of [i]"FLY-Z+ with forward zone weighting is effectively a more forgiving, more playable, BiO Cell Pro."[/i]

I about dookied myself when I saw this. If that isn't something special, I don't know what is. Based on the effect this weight can have and the adjustability of loft, you should be able to get it pretty well dialed in. I'm excited about it, that's for sure. I hit the BCP pretty well as it is, but I'm all up for improvement. I know the marketing is strong in this one, but for whatever reason, I'm more inclined to buy into what Cobra is selling than some of the other OEMs.

I'm a sucker for drivers though, especially Cobra ones. I own four and all four happen to be Cobras (L4V, ZL, BC+, BCP)

Here is some info on shafts for the fly z +.

The stock shaft is a 45" Matrix VLCT St. Although the shaft features proprietary Cobra graphics, it's identical to the aftermarket equivalent.

Cobra will also offer Aldila's Tour Blue (76g), Tour Green (67g) and Matrix's White Tie X4 (53g) as no up-charge alternatives.

Additional no up-charge shafts may be added in the future.

I had to sell my BCP from earlier this year to clear up some equipment for other purchases, but I'm almost regretting it now. At 440cc the BCP was a monster and very easy to hit. Just a perfect shape and the black crowned one I had was stunning.

The thing just performed like crazy - ultra low spin and probably the best muted sound off the face I've ever heard in my life.

I [b][i]will [/i][/b]be trying the new FLY Z+. Looks great and should have more forgiveness at a full 460cc (smart move by Cobra IMO). Looking forward to seeing some numbers with this one.

I was very, very lucky to win a Bio Cell driver earlier this year when Cobra did a live Q&A on the forums here. I love the forgiveness, feel, looks, sound, etc. The stock shaft just happened to fit me well I guess and the driver has been great at minimizing toe misses, which is my miss. I love the driver and have honestly not had a wandering eye all season for another driver. If anything, I have been looking for the opportunity to grab another head in a different color, but I have not looked at other brands or even other Cobra models, including the Bio Cell + and Pro. Until now.

I think Cobra could be in for a big year. The long threads on the Amp Cell and Bio Cell drivers are rivaled only by the G25 iron thread it seems. If they managed to actually improve on the Bio Cell line, it will be impressive. I'm excited to see the irons.

I heard that a pro version would be coming out, but there have been comments to the contrary in this thread. Any one have some factual data regarding a possible pro? 8.5-11.5* actually doesn't fit everyone! 440cc 7-10* BCP was the best fit I've ever had! Hoping to duplicate that with The Fly Z line!
