Cobra AMP CELL Hybrids & Fairway Woods Preview

I play a about a 65-66 gram driver, I'm thinking 70+ gram 3 wood, but is a 75 gram hybrid shaft too light? I've never gone deep on hybrid shafts, and I'm quite lost when I think about it...

I always got about 60-70 driver, 70-80 FW and 80-90 hybrid, 100ish in irons. I may switch a bit of those this time, but I do like my hribds around the 85 range!

I am thinking of maybe even matching my hybrid and irons by throwing some KBS shafts in all of them but not sure at this point.

Sounds like our ranges are similar, I like that idea of KBS in these Cobras!!! The UST Hybrid shafts look and sound like they'd be deadly in my AMP Cell Hybos!!!
 
Just got back from the range. I have never been so in love with clubs before. My trio of blue bombers are the best wooda/hybrids I have ever hit and the stock shafts fit me to a tee.

Yup, I've hit most of the others and I like the AMP Cell the best. That being said, I haven't hit the RBZ Stage 2 which is the 3 Wood I got. (unofficially, because I ordered semi-blind and before I take the wrapper off I'm gonna try out some others.) The AMP Cell hybrid just went and went.
 
That bag looks awesome
Beh that was supposed to be to jlukes I fail at tapatalk

The hybrid is just ridiculously easy to hit. I got the 2/3 hybrid and it even has me pondering replacing my 4 iron with another hybrid. It's that good.

You had an RBZ (Yours was a Tour though, right?) How does it compare in terms of playability, accuracy, distance, feel, etc? That being said, I was looking the the Cell to replace my 4i.

Yup, I have the tour 18.5. Playing the Amp Cell at 18. I've only gotten to the range so far but it launches higher than the RBZ did. Forgiveness I give to the Amp Cell as well; it's almost like you have to try to hit this thing off line. The RBZ felt forgiving but mishits always leaked left on me. Distance goes to the cell as well. I absolutely crush the Amp Cell 3 wood and the hybrid almost keeps up with it.

Looks like the next choice then :) I'll hit the 3 wood before I make any final decisions on the RBZ S2 as well.

Good call. I hit them all and the Amp Cell was the all around winner. Funny thing is the hybrid is the only one that I didn't hit of the Amp Cell before I bought it

First range session last night with 3-4 FW in the strong 3W 13* setting. I don't have stats but visually it seemed almost as long as my driver in the 240-250 yd range. That's a good problem hehe. Sound and feel were muted and minimal even on off-center hits towards the heel. The Fujikura Fuel shaft seems like a good fit for me with low to mid launch flight and good dispersion. I hit a couple of low liners off the deck so I need some more work here to get more carry.

This face is deeper than the G20 so I needed to slightly raise the tee to get more of a mid ball flight. I love the look of the orange crown and traditional shape of the clubhead. How this club received a silver rating on the Hot List is mind boggling?!?!

I'm changing to the 4W 16* setting for tomorrow nights range session. I'm really happy with this club so far.

I'm thinking:

Driver: AD DI 6 S
3 Wood: AD DI 7 S
2-3 Hyb: AD DI Hybrid 75
3-4 Hyb: AD DI Hybrid 85

Maybe both hybrids with the 85...

I would second this sir! As you may know, I am testing the RBZ2 3 hybrid. Last night I did a head to head comparison - unfortunately, I could only go by my eyes - no monitor. Both at 19' loft. The cell is clearly, for me, much easier to get in the air, and I have always struggled with that with 3 hybrids. It definitely carries further. As I have said before, the RBZ is really good off the tee on dry fairways, so I will keep it around for those type of conditions. But overall, I think the cell works better for me, and if my main purpose of a 3 hybrid was for hitting greens, I would go with the cell for sure.
 
Great thoughts all! Really glad to hear that these are performing !
 
I finally got the image from my Fit N Fly fitting with Jim yesterday, the way the FW and Hybos are recommended is really nice:

I think I'll go with the 3/4 wood and the two hybrids, I just feel more confident with a 2 hybo than a 5 wood!!!
 
Icey - the 2/3 hybo is absolute money. I am playing my 3/4 wood at 14 degrees and the 2/3 hybo at 18 degrees. What a friggen combo!

The 2/3 hybo is quickly developing into one of my favorite clubs in the bag just based on range sessions alone!
 
the top 3 clubs in your bag are longer than I hit my driver haha
 
I wish they had that gap fitting app online rather than just on iOS! I am sure my gaps or correct, but it would still be really fun to play with!
 
Icey, I also want to note that our yardage gaps are eerily similar!

Let me know if there's anything you want me to run on it for you!
