Best Driver By Cobra

[grew]

King LTD

[jah7838]

Bio Cell Pro and LTD Pro would be my vote. I'd put the LTD Pro first just because it's what kicked the Bio Cell Pro out of the bag. Similar spin numbers between them, but the LTD Pro was more forgiving.

LTD

[padget]

I've had the King LTD, King LTD Black, F7, F7+ and now the F8. All are great drivers, and each was a small step up from the prior one.

 

However, I had the paint flake issue with the F7s, and now with my special edition F8 Blue Camo, it started happening again after one month.

 

Did Cobra help you out with the F7 paint flaking? Having the same issue here.

[PreppySlapCut]

LTD Pro followed by the Bio Cell +, in my opinion. They tend to make a wonderful driver, really difficult to go wrong.

[eagle1997]

i can only assume all the BC+ guys haven't hit the F8+.

 

for me, F8+ beats the BC+ in feel/sound, length, forgiveness, accuracy and looks.

 

and i loved the BC+.

 

undoubtedly, part of it is the hzrdus black 6.0 shaft which is amazing.

Yes, Cobra replaced my F7. Except they were out of my Blue head, so they sent Silver, and I don't like that color.

 

I ended up selling the Silver, and went big $$$ to get the F8 Camo Blue. And then the paint started to flake off of it. I did contact Cobra, and the F8 was sent back to them today for replacement.

 

Not sure if I want to take a chance again though. It's a great head, no doubt about it.

fly z+. Beautiful from the top. Really easy to tell when it was aimed perfectly because the leading edge is so straight.

 

I also like the weight low forward. When you catch it right, that thing is loooong!

Cobra Fly Z

 

Was hitting a orange one out of my friends bag 2 years ago

I hit it so good I went on Ebay and got a white one

I just had it re-gripped

I have no plans on replacing it

[Golf64]

Fly Z, F7/8 for me. Look and feel are important along with performance. ;)

[traderjason]

Only have experiences with older Cobras, but the SS 427 and ZL were both bombers. I can't believe the 427 is 15 years old, it still plays as well as modern drivers.

[venturagolfer87]

Fly-Z+ was my first experience with cobra drivers, and it is firmly seated as my 2nd favorite driver of all time. It replaced my #3, the Jetspeed TP, and then was just replaced this year by the new #1, the F8+. Playing it at 9* weight forward. Looks, sound, everything about this head gives me the warm fuzzies at address

[G-Bone]

Orange and white Bio Cell+ for me.

 

High launch, low spin and just fun to look at!

 

If it was a bit more forgiving it might still be in the bag...

King LTD: best MyFly8

ZL Encore: best pre-MyFly8

 

Everyone seems to mention the ZL Encore over the original ZL. Why is this? They seem virtually the same, but the original has the Cobra symbol alignment marker instead of the word “cobra” (which they seem to rotate every model year). And the original comes in a sedate black and silver.

[DatSliceDoe]

LTD. I had a Bio Cell and Bio Cell Pro, but its like they had a low spin, forgiving baby that was the LTD.

 

I may give it up if Cobra can top it next season. The F8 wasn't what I liked to look down at with the two tone crown, even in all black. One of the reasons I can't play the TM M series clubs, otherwise I probably would.

[klbcec]

For me, the Fly z+, but because I like it so much, I haven't touched another driver in three years.

[aceofclubs]

I used the Amp Cell for a few years until recently. Just a really solid, forgiving performer. Its a driver i will always keep incase my tee game goes south. I wish it took the new adapters though.

I have tried probably a dozen or so drivers and nothing was that great until i switched a King LTD this year and its pretty awesome. Long and forgiving.

[Even Further]

Cobra ZL Encore and the LTD get my vote. I gamed the ZLE with Elements Chrome for a long time. It was my first driver that I could easily add weight to on my own. I hit several newer Cobra driver whenever I could. I ended up with a LTD with Elements Chrome, mainly since I found a great deal on a mint used.

2006 F Speed 9* degree

Aldila NV-F / Speed tuned 55g shaft

aka rocket launcher

[Nixhex524]

LTD, no question for me....

[JonasSand]

I have owned bc+, F6+, ltd pro and now F8+.

In my opinion are they all good but the sound of the f6+ was quite horrible. I have hit my longest with bc+, Ltd wins in looks/feel/sound but the f8+ are the best for me regarding all the most common criterias combined. Long, nice spin reduction and quite forgiving. Don’t like the grey though.

[Oknows]

Fly Z was a fairway finder. Fly Z+ was super long, but misses felt and sounded harsh and gave me SLDR type spin. Always been a little curious about BC+

ZL Encore: best pre-MyFly8

... I think it depends on personal preference for feel/sound. I was playing the Pro S and loved the performance but really disliked the sound/feel. Being old school but not against modern tech, I really loved the muted dense sound/feel of the ZL as well as the color scheme. I really did not care for the harsh and loud sound/feel of the Encore. But many modern players love that loud explosive sound/feel of the Encore.

[b.mattay]

I have tried/played 4 Cobra drivers, and would rank them as such:

 

1) King LTD Pro (Grafalloy Blue 75X)

2) Amp Cell Pro (Kuro Kage Black 70X)

3) Fly-Z+ (Grafalloy Blue 75X)-Weight Forward

4) F7+ (Grafalloy Blue 75X-Weight Forward

 

I wish I could still play the King LTD Pro, but I kept cracking the Spaceport (three times!!) in the exact same place. Cobra sent me an F7+ as a replacement and I am selling it right away in favor of a 2017 M1, which performs similar to the LTD Pro for me.

Ah. I didn’t realize the Encore had a significantly different sound. I really like the original ZL’s muted thwack.

[Optimus-Par]

I have owned and played the 414 Comp, 440 SZ, ZL Encore, BioCell +, Fly-Z +, and the F6+.

 

Best for me was the BC+. Loved the head shape. Worst was the F6+, the sliding weight was garbage.

 

Surprised that I didn't see many L4V's in the responses. That driver had a monster thread on here back in the day.

[Lord Helmet]

LTD Pro for me. Tried the F7+ and F8+, neither could beat the LTD. Love everything about the LTD Pro. The Srixon z765 came close to defeating it, but I just love the way the Cobra sits at address, looks perfect to my eye (z765 looked closed to me, hard for me to adjust). I also like that I can tee it down a bit further compared to others and get a great performing shot.

[BearQ]

Ltd pro

[NixLix26]

I still have a 9 degree L4V X and a 8 degree. Those clubs are still great.

[Shifty76]

Only ever hit the Biocell, Biocell +, FlyZ+ and LTD.

 

LTD for me was the longest, straightest, and most forgiving and it wasn't close.

Would have bought it right then and there if they didn't want $650 for it at the time.
