Driver test results: Cobra Fly-Z+ video review

New Cobra Fly-Z drivers with adjustable weight system

Moveable weight system provides two flight paths in one club
 

Cobra Golf has released the latest in adjustable weight technology with the Fly-Z+ Driver featuring the all-new FlipZone weight technology.

They have also launched the Fly-Z and Fly-Z XL to provide a driver for all swing speeds and abilities.

The moveable weight system in the Fly-Z+ is engineered to provide two different flight paths in one club that enables maximum distance for any swing and any golfer. 

The FlipZone is Cobra’s first front-to-back CG adjustable technology that features a 15-gram weight that can be set toward the front or back of the head located low on the sole of the driver.

“The Fly-Z+ driver features the lowest CG of any adjustable weight driver on the market,” said Tom Olsavsky, VP of R&D. 

“The new FlipZone provides golfers with two different flight paths in one head – allowing golfers to play what is best for their game. The result is one unique, performance and technology driven golf club that is truly game changing.”
I saw the positive effects the two settings could have on ball flight" – Rickie Fowler The front CG position provides a mid-launch angle with ultra-low spin and a penetrating ball flight with more roll for maximum distance, while the back CG position delivers a mid-launch angle with 400 RPM’s of additional spin, resulting in a towering ball flight, maximum distance with more carry. 

The Fly-Z+ driver also features COBRA’s New Speed Channel Technology, which is an engineered trench around the perimeter of the face that works to minimize thickness, resulting in increased ball speeds across the face for incredible distance and more forgiveness. 

Rickie Fowler is impressed with the new technology.

“I’m really excited about the new Fly-Z+ driver,” he said. 

“In our early prototype testing I saw the positive effects the two settings could have on ball flight. For me, the front CG setting yielded the ball flight I want to see on the course. 

“The adjustable loft setting Cobra introduced last year was a huge advantage to my game, but now adding this new Zone Weighting to fine tune ball flight is really game-changing.” 
 
The Fly-Z Driver is engineered to deliver the ultimate blend of maximum distance and increased forgiveness. The low, back CG Zone Weighting delivers low spin, mid-high launch and fast ball speeds across the face. 

The Fly-Z XL Driver is engineered to help make golf easier through higher draw-biased ball flights which deliver easy distance. 

A 460cc, all-titanium head features a slightly lower profile face combined with an offset hosel to deliver the trajectory often needed by seniors, women and beginning golfers. 

The Fly-Z XL driver, being the only offset driver in the marketplace, delivers up to 17.5 yards of draw bias. 

Cobra Engineers also redesigned the XL driver for women, keeping in mind their need for slightly higher launch conditions and softer shaft flexes.
