Cobra Fly Z and Fly Z+ Drivers: In-hand photos

[alanmonty10]

Every time I look at the pictures I get more and more excited.

[ladahl]

I'd like to see these in comparison pics with a G30

[MrFlapjack]

Someone please get one of these to Rick Shiels!!

[SubaruWRX]

Looks good! Probably the first driver I've ever considered in blue.

Nah, on second thought, I'd still go with black.

Me too. If the crown on the FZ+ looks as beautiful and as quality as the BCP I had it's gonna look great in black.

[Black Label Johnny]

I hope they add the Rogue to the list of no upcharge shaft options... Don't see why they wouldn't if titleist and Callaway are doing it.

My first thought when looking at the Z+ is, why didn't they make a double sided weight (one end heavy, one end not) so that you are not left with an unfinished gap/hole in the sole of the club? Surely this will collect plenty of grass/dirt as well. Anyone else think this, or am I riding solo?

Nope, I was thinking the same thing. Having a dumbell type weight would've been a good idea. Even if it's like 2g or something on one side and x+2g on the other would probably work. Of course, those R&D guys know a thing or two about weight distribution so they might have rhyme for their reason.

Yeah they probably do. Maybe they left one end empty to move the CG as much as possible forward or back.

Really excited to hit this thing.

Really cool seeing all this technology in the clubs. I'm sure I'll give these a try.

[Puppetmaster]

I'm just glad that the Fly Z line shares the same adapters as the Bio Cells.

Cobra has really grown on me in terms of their recent offerings. Love the shapes of their drivers, FWs, and hybrids.

[Mob]

Funny to me how people didn't care for the looks of the Bio Cell +. I think it is one of the prettiest drivers out there in terms of both the two tone paint scheme and the shape of the head. I love the black and white head, I call it my Tuxedo driver.

[quote name='timbo08' timestamp='1415934408' post='10444227']Can't wait to demo these! Cobra drivers just flat out perform like others have stated and the past few years they have consistently gotten better for me. Starting to gain a blind faith that whatever they put out will be better than last years model.[/quote]

I bought my BiO Cell Pro on blind faith given how good the previous generation Amp Cell Pro was. I will probably end up pre-ordering the FZ+ without demo'ing it as well.

[timbo08]

Already saw a few FLY-Z Hybrids and Woods on the 'Bay in Lefty Land for cheap.

Can anyone comment on face height? Really liked the Bio Cell but face height was lacking(believe it was 2.25 inches). The Superfast 2.0 is at 2.5 inches. This helps those whom prefer to tee it high off the front foot.
[/quote]
I have the very same opinion on driver face heights, and just from the photos, it appears that the Fly-Z has a slightly "taller" face than the Bio Cells or the Amp Cells. I'm still using my 2002 Cobra SS 427 driver, and I think I hit my best drives when I strike it just above the halfway mark/"equator" of the face.
[/quote]427 is the best driver that Cobra ever made.

That's the XL. Not the normal Fly-Z and Fly-Z plus that has not yet been released

[/quote]I have to agree with you, that driver was really good. I think it was longer than any of my current drivers. It was so hot, I often wondered if Cobra put hot faces in them

Good look at the club here..

[PapaJohick]

Really excited. Between this and vapor pro for me

[Palauan Hammer]

This drivers looks the shiznittle bam snick snack sack! Only problem now is there are so many good drivers out or coming out I'm all screwed up mentally! Guess I'll decide when I get to the cash register

[gabeebe]

Really excited to try these new offerings from Cobra. Ditched my TM Sldr and switched to the Bio Cell + last year. The Cell + was much more forgiving for me. The Matrix red tie shaft is great. The tuxedo looking blue/white crown is ok but I like the all blue look of these new clubs better.

[matt70286]

Does anyone have any insight as to what the free shaft upgrade options are that were mentioned in the Global Golf video? Went to the website but wasn't able to find them. Thanks.

Whoa when did they put that on their website? That's cool!

Also, did anyone notice that the loft on the website shows 8-11*. I always thought the plus was gonna be 8.5-11.5* ....at least that's what I swear they were advertising on their initial press releases! I'd much rather it go down to 8*, so that's cool

[MrFlapjack]

The only thing that makes me scratch my head is why they used yellow as the accent for the blue and white drivers? I'm no fashion designer, and my wife dresses me before I leave the house every morning, but those colors don't really seem to go together.

[halfsumo]

I wish they would have kept the grey/silver instead of going white. Red looks too much like the Covert and the white looks too much like the R15. I guess I'll have to get a blue and gold one. Go Bears!

[Puppetmaster]

These look pretty good overall, and I have to say that despite being one of those initially turned off by Cobra's color schemes, I'm liking their products more now. Then again, I'm sticking with the black options anyway. While I'm planning to stick with my Bio Cells, the fact that these share the same adapters might be a bad thing in terms of temptation for me.
