Tour Fairway Wood

The Fly-Z+ was the driver Cobra built for players who spin the ball too much and want to do something about it. This is the model Rickie Fowler had in the bag in 2015, and it shows in the priorities. Where the standard Fly-Z chased forgiveness for the everyday golfer, the plus version handed you a movable weight and told you to sort out your own launch conditions.

What makes it a Tour-category head is the FlipZone weight. You get a single weight that flips between a forward port and a rear port, and that one change shifts the center of gravity enough to meaningfully cut spin or add stability. Pair that with the MyFly8 adjustable hosel, and one club covers a wide range of loft and face-angle setups. The 460cc head keeps things stable enough that dialing in low spin doesn't leave you fighting a tiny, punishing face.

This is a low-spin driver first and a forgiving one second, and the order matters. Set the weight forward and you can flatten out a ballooning ball flight fast. It rewards a player who delivers the club well and wants to see distance come from a tighter, more penetrating flight rather than extra height.

• Faster swingers who launch the ball high with too much spin and lose carry distance because of it.
• Players who like to tinker and want real control over launch and spin through both the hosel and a movable weight.
• Anyone chasing a lower, more penetrating ball flight who can still make consistent center contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Cobra Fly-Z+ and the standard Fly-Z driver?

The Fly-Z+ adds the FlipZone movable weight, which lets you shift the center of gravity forward for low spin or back for more forgiveness. The standard Fly-Z has a fixed weight and leans toward easy launch and forgiveness for a wider range of golfers. The plus model is the lower-spinning, more player-oriented option.

How does the FlipZone weight actually work?

There's one weight and two ports, one toward the front of the sole and one toward the back. You unscrew the weight and move it to the port you want. Forward lowers spin and flattens launch. Back raises launch and bumps up stability on mishits. It's a manual swap, not a slider, so pick your setting before the round.

How adjustable is the loft on the Fly-Z+?

The MyFly8 hosel gives you eight settings, covering a spread of lofts along with draw-biased positions. That means you can play the same head anywhere from a stronger low-spin loft to a higher launching, draw setup depending on what your swing needs.

Is the Cobra Fly-Z+ a good driver for a slower swing speed?

It can work, but it isn't the natural fit. The Fly-Z+ is built to reduce spin, and slower swings often need spin and launch to carry the ball. If that's you, the standard Fly-Z or the back weight position on the plus will serve you better. A faster player who spins it too much gets the most out of this head.

Since the Fly-Z+ is from 2015, is it worth buying used today?

For the money on the used market, it holds up well as a low-spin option. The adjustability is genuinely useful and the SpeedChannel face still produces good ball speed. You won't match the latest drivers on forgiveness or the very top-end ball speed, but if you find one in the right shaft and can set the weight forward for your flight, it's a lot of driver for the price.
