I've hit this one a LOT the last two days, a lot lot, mostly on the range, but still.
Its a Cobra driver for sure. Now, before you go "DUH!", entertain me. By that I mean the shape is very much Cobra in a good way, sits between shallow/deep and the head is elongated more but in a manner that though it looks big doesn't feel too large at setup as some drivers out there can. More importantly though, I will say until I die that Cobra and Callaway are the two companies who understand driver faces more than the rest of the pack. The E9 face just flat out does its job and when picking up a Cobra driver the last 4 or 5 years you have just known a lot of what to expect there.
Ball speeds have been nice, not any higher than a lot of what I have played this past year, but at the upper echelon for my swing. With that I'll add that its definitely going to be the higher launcher of the bunch of Cobra drivers (as it should be), excluding probably the MAX that is. With more time I'm averaging 15.2* launch and 3050 spin with the weight in the forward position and set to 10.5*. Thats leading to some really solid distance numbers overall, very pleased with what I am seeing there.
In terms of forgiveness, misses heel side do see that heel-fade but its pretty tame overall. High on the face doesn't see to drastic of a spin change though launch does jump. Toe side really hasn't been worked out yet, I'll get there soon enough though. Ball speeds retained have been solid.
I've said it before and will repeat myself here, for me personally, this is what I wanted the Fly-Z to be. Great look (the crown texture is awesome), great sound, and performance is there.
Tomorrow I'm really going to work on it with the weight back and see what I get #'s wise with that. Will also finally start to tinker with the MyFly adapter for data purposes (though we know by now that Cobra's adapter and SmartPad system DOES work and work well).
