NCG TESTS: Cobra ZL Encore driver

WHAT WE THOUGHT

“The shaft didn’t feel strong or consistent, and I’m not sure about using electric yellow. It’s a bit gaudy. The shape is lovely, though.” JaW
“The standard shaft was too weak for all of us so a custom fitting for a better player is a much. Personally, I quite like the looks – they are strong.” DM
“A superb shape and it feels very quick out of the middle. I get why the bright colours might not be for the traditionalist, but for the strong, modern player, it’s fantastic. It comes in an all-white version, too, which is used on Tour by Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter.” JoW
