Win a driver fitting experience with Cobra
Published:
We’ve teamed up with Cobra Golf to give three readers the chance to test the tech in their new Fly-Z family of drivers.
We’re looking for golfers to attend a exclusive fitting event at Stone Driving Range, Cold Norton, Stone, Staffordshire, on Thursday March 19.
There you will be fitted for one of the impressive new Fly-Z line of drivers which includes three models – the Fly-Z+, Fly-Z, and the Fly-Z XL – in your choice of crown colour.
Designed to cover the full range of ability levels, the Fly-Z family is lead by the Fly-Z+, which is aimed at players ranging from Tour pros to 15-handicappers.
Designed with a technology called FlipZone the Fly-Z+ features an extremely low CG location that can be moved to the front or back of the clubhead via a 15-gram weight in the sole.
When set to the front location the Fly-Z+ produces a mid-launch angle with extremely low spin and a relatively boring launch angle and when set to the rear location a mid-launch flight with approximately 400rpm of additional spin is produced for higher ballflight and additional carry.
In addition to FlipZone technology the Fly-Z+ driver also features a new Speed Channel around the perimeter of the clubface that makes it thinner, leading to faster ball speeds across a larger portion of the hitting area. A forged E9 Zone Face technology that increases the size of the sweet spot further enhances distance on off-centre hits, while a carbon fibre crown and sole sections save a significant amount of weight that is repositioned in more useful areas of the clubhead.
Other features of the Fly-Z+ driver include multiple custom tuning technologies (MyFly8 and Smart Pad) that provide loft and trajectory settings that range from 8-11 degrees. Five colours including black, white, blue, orange, and red are available for players who want to stand out from the crowd.
The standard Fly-Z driver is aimed at players in the 5-25 handicap range looking for maximum distance with plenty of forgiveness. Designed with a fixed, low and back CG location the Fly-Z produces mid-high launch angles for all sorts of players. A combination of MyFly8 and SmartPad technologies allow for eight loft and trajectory settings that range from 9- to 12-degrees. Five colour options including black, white, blue, orange, and red are available.
The final model in Cobra’s new driver lineup, the Fly-Z XL, is aimed at 15-40 handicappers (seniors, women, and beginners included) who can benefit from a higher, more draw-biased ball flight. A low-profile clubhead with moderate offset produces up to 17.5 yards of draw bias, which is great for those who struggle with the banana ball.
Other features of the Fly-Z XL include an all titanium clubhead with forged face weighting, a back CG position for added forgiveness on off centre hits, and a high MOI sole shape that further enhances the club’s slice busting qualities. The Fly-Z XL is available in 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5-degree lofts.
To take part in this event, you must be free on Thursday March 19, from 10.30am in Staffordshire. Email your name and handicap to reader.reviews@todaysgolfer.co.uk
The three winners will be notified by email on the morning of March 17.
