I am very interested in this driver and am going to have to fight my urge to buy one. I only played my Bio Cell + for two months at the end of the season and can't really justify buying another driver for awhile. I have 3 drivers that I really haven't played enough as it is. Love where Cobra is going though.

Is love to hear if the Z+ is a significant improvement over the BCP. BCP is still the shiz.

Yeah it is but really looking forward to the Z+

I believe they are saying that it is similar spin to the Bio Cell Pro, but more forgiving. Would love to hear from someone who has hit both and can confirm this. It seems that the rick shiels review shows that their claims with adjusting the weight forward and back are dead on.

His reaction after hitting the first ball is funny. That told me all I needed to know, but the data was nice too.

I game the the Bio Cell Pro and had the opportunity to hit the Fly Z+ last week. It is slightly higher spinning the the BCP but so ridiculously forgiving!!! The spin was about 320rpm higher for me but could easily be reduced with a lower spinning shaft. Needless to say this will absolutely be in my bag in the next few weeks.

Demo-d the Fly Z plus today. Most forgiving driver I've ever hit. And a wonderfully responsive sense of feel, especially when turning it over in hitting a draw. Distance is great too. For me, takes all the un-necessary drama out of bringing out the big dog. Since the pros at my club have been raving about the new Cobra drivers, fairways and utilities since their early preview in November of 2014, can't wait to try out the rest of the line-up. Looks like Cobra has hit it out of the park for 2015.

Ahhh that could be a no-go for me then. Although I am working on leveling out my swing so as to reduce spin so hopefully it will be enough

I was already excited to try the Fly-z+. Rick's review just made it worse.

Can't wait to test 10* with weight forward against 8.5* with weight back.

Is the Fly Z+ using the same adapter as the Bio Cell+ or Bio Cell Pro? Thanks

They are all compatible, but the loft settings will be the same with a Bio Cell + adapter.

Thanks for your help. Originally confused because fly z+ is 8.5 to 11.5 loft and bio cell+ is 8 to 11 loft. As long as it fit it doesn't matter.

Some calculations getting thrown around after an interview with the club designer (T.O.) were:

SLDR 460: 3700 MOI
Z+ weight forward: 4200 MOI
The legendary 905R: 4400 MOI
Z+ weight back: 4700 MOI
regular Z: 4900 MOI
G30: 5000 MOI

(edited to 4200/4700 per latest video interview with T.O.)

Very surprised the 905R is 4400.

I could be wrong (it happened once when I thought I was wrong), but I thought he said the Z+ forward was 4200, and Z+ back was 4700 but I would have to watch the video again.

Isn't the Wishon 919 5000 MOI or higher?
