The Fly Z results are most interesting. If you look at Rick's review of the same Fly Z model driver back in 2015, he averaged over 300 yards and a longest hit of 321 yards. Spin rate was also in the order of 2400, not 3800 like this review. Different shafts is the only noticeable difference in the clubs. Maybe an off day Rick?
I'm impressed with my bio cell driver myself. To me, the ease of effort, combined with the feel of an amazing strike give me the distance I need to set up for my second shot. I don't need much power to get that ball exploding off the tee. When you do take the time to personally dial in your swing for a more consistent shot, I feel it pays off. Other golfers always comment on my tee shot as well, which tells me I'm not the only one seeing the performance come out in this driver. Cheers Rick, keep up the great work!
Really enjoy these 5-yr tests, Rick! Thx for all the work that goes into making them! I'm amazed that so many viewers want to read more into them than is there and nitpick the results. Cheers!
I bought the F7 because of its forgiveness. I tried the F7 Plus and it was way, way longer, but I hit one in 5 on the fairway. This driver is not long, but for a 19 handicapper who struggles with posture, it was the perfect fit. It, along with the 3 wood, has helped me get down to 14. I feel confident every time I pull this driver out. If i nail it, it goes 240mtrs. If I put it from the extreme toe or heel it gives me 210mtrs and still on the fairway. I love this driver.
@Rick Shiels Golf I can't express into words how much I appreciate a breakdown and comparison video like this. Even 4 years later, it helps immensely as I don't play the latest gear.
Love the videos rick!!! Just curious because I looked back in the archives but when you tested the Fly Z back at the end of 2014 you averaged around 275 carry and 300 total distance with the club then. Why would it perform completely different this time around?
I was wondering the same thing, because I just bought the Fly Z a few days ago and l've averaged around 275-280 but yesterday I managed to hit one like 320 with proper roll and decent conditions, maybe it was the shaft or something I don't know but what I know Is I wasn't hitting 250 lol
Great review! I bought the bio cell new in 2014 and still have them. Looks like I bought the right ones. I can’t definitely tell they don’t hit as far as other brands though. Might look at upgrading in the near future.
I used to play the Bio Cell driver as well until a couple of months ago. I got along really well with it, but because it got older I wanted a new shiny toy. I could not hit the Cobra F6 or F7 at all when I went to look for a new driver to replace my Bio Cell. I was all over the place and lost about 20 yards of distance as well. I endet up going for the M1 2017. It isn't really longer and I can't notice that it is much more forgiving, but I am definitely more accurate with the M1 2017 than I was with the Bio Cell. Thanks a lot for the awesome videos Rick!!
i know Nike is done, but it would be good to know which model is the longest ever of the brand? then there are others but Nike would be great next please Rick.
This is my favorite segment you do and I watch all of them. Could you do a low spin version? And could you also do an irons version? Maybe a consolidation of all the previous iron review vids? I love the channel, you and Mr Finch do a great job at covering different topics...differently, which makes both of your channels must watches.
Always enjoy your videos. I am not a Cobra Golf guy but this only illustrates that you need to get fit for your clubs more than anything. I am sure there are plenty of golfers that have had success with each of these drivers. I would like to see you fit yourself with all the current drivers to get your best numbers and go head to head with Taylormade, Callaway, Ping, Titleist, and Mizuno in this same format.
1: you "forgot" the higher strike on the face these like. 2: you was hitting the fly z (that model,not the plus) over 300 and your longest(at the time) drive on simulator with it. Now it's almost shortest at 268?!?! Something very screwy going on here!
These 5 yr club reviews are some of my favorite you do. Thank you so much! You could expand it to irons as well. Maybe hit a 7iron from multiple years?
Hi rick your original review of the cobra fly z you were hitting over 300yards with good spin rates and you were really impressed with the club so don’t see how you have now dropped to under 280yards and have it spinning to high Love the videos keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Agreed, they make a design and they stick with it. My buddy asked me about Callaway's and which were good and I just told him, dude, I don't know there are like 6 dozen diff version of their clubs over the last few years that I can't keep up anymore lol.
Hi Rick, can you try to clarify something for me the carry on the fly z is 253 and therefore quite short, however on your fly z v ping g30 test the fly z was carrying 294. I only ask because I have a fly z Cheers mark.
I don’t know if it’s your launch monitor you’re using now or what but if you go back and look at your review of the Cobra Fly Z you did I think 2 years ago those numbers are WAY different. Like you were carrying the ball almost 295 yards and on this review your average carry was 253 lol
Jonathan P I suspect this is down to manufacturer tolerance. the club's they send to rick will have been tested to make sure it was a 'hot' one where as these random ones sent by golf bidder could be the opposite end of the tolerance. I bet if rick did this test with 5 of the same clubs you would see a wide range of results. I had a cobra driver once and was dead compared to the one I was fitted for
Something is off with this test. If you go back and look at your review of the Fly Z your number were way better than this test. Something is messed up.
Although the strikes were around the same area the Fly Z was clearly the lowest average on the face and looked below the centre line... so higher spin and less distance
2nd hand clubs. Plus companies may test their review clubs to make sure they don't send out a lemon. Some manufacturers may have more quality control. Love my Bio Cell Pro still.
Glad you did this review Rick. I have gamed Cobra clubs for their forgiveness for years. I currently have gamed my Bio Cell for 2 years and hasn’t failed me. Cheers from Florida USA
I enjoy the true honesty on the club production. On that, I think you should stick R15. You seam to control it well. What set of clubs do you prefer personally. You should post a video review on them.
You didn't have to wait too long for the F8 then Rick! Haha! I'm a Bio Cell man myself and love the sound and strike off it. Tried the F7 but didnt think it was as good. After you F8 review, i'm really looking forward to trying that. Got any spare??
Cobra drivers are known to spin a lot for certain models. The best strikes for lower spin usually were higher face strikes on Cobras. So the saying to get fit is quite important on cobra clubs. I got fit last year and the LTD King was the best for me from any manufacturer out there. It is in my bag and most likely will be there for years. It brought my dispersion rate (long and short) as well as strike in various weather conditions to an acceptable level. That had always been an issue for me. Rick, I would like you to do the test on the lower spinning drivers which Cobra made. I believe that you would find a much better consistency on distance. Also use the rouge shaft in the test. Thanks for doing the test.
To me this really shows the benifits of getting fit. I have always played Taylormade drivers and this year switched to the F7 with a custom Hzrdus shaft and I am crushing it. The weight forward in the F7 will add 20 yards. I have watched your F7 review and thats your best setting. Can you do a video with the Muzino drivers?
I think a lot of it was the shaft. Even though you may be fit with one shaft for a ping driver doesn’t mean that same shaft will work for a cobra driver. I do appreciate that you used the same shaft but I would have preferred if you would have been fit for the shaft
Definitely a surprising video, I would've loved to see how the LTD went, but then again, thats a low spin. Thankfully I have the F6 which seems to be the better option. Would love to see a midhandicap review of the new Cobra F-Max range, driver through irons. Keep up the good work.
Hi rick I use a mash up of this years cobra driver and the shafts from the bio cell 2014 bit of you weight the clubs each year the club head has got heavier but the bio cell shaft is amazing with this year’s head range much straighter for me at least
Rick, when you did the original test on the Cobra Fly Z driver you used the Xstiff shaft that came with the shaft and you just killed it, most of you test drivers strikes were all or close to the 300 yard mark and dispersion was very good. It was one of the best for distance and direction, now with this same driver head three years later and a different shaft is seems to be one of the worst for distance and dispersion. Just seems strange, I would think you would used an original VLCT shaft like the first test for this later test. Just wondering about this test with this other shaft, the head might be fine but the shaft mismatched.
I purchased my Fly Z driver because of your original review, where your stats were much better. It was among the best drivers you ever hit. Not sure what happened here. Had to have been the shaft.
Same here. Fly z still in my bag. Love it. He hit it over 300 every shot while reviewing and now 268?!? From strike location,he forgot how it likes a higher strike also.
Right. I don't understand that at all. My club head speed is less than his and I can get it to 270+. This makes me really wonder about his "honest" reviews.
The fly z is one of the best driver of 2015 and the flyz + was even better then that and he loved it shirt term memory loss indeed. Also his f7 review were over 300yards how has he lost 15yards in a short time.
Yep, somethng is not right, the original Fly Z review was gushing about the quality of e driver. I think it is a crapshoot using used clubs for this test. I think comparing previous reviews using new equipment vs these past five years with used clubs would show big discrepancies with performance within the same model.
Hey i really enjoy your channel and its contents. Question for you on this video though on similar subject videos you moved the weights around if allowed but yet on this video you did not may I ask why? Or did you not think it would change the results
I borrowed th Amp Cell from pro in the early summer whilst waiting for new Epic Rick's review is spot on I drove with it very straight but could not get distance out of it because it was spinning so high - it was barely longer than my 3w
depending on the shaft . stock shaft even in stiff is very whippy . better stiff shaft and I was hitting it over 300 a few years back , still have one in my front room today if I ever get in a slump I pull it out to go out and hit some fairways . :)
Great comparison test. I started off the year with the F7 driver and also found it spun way too much, very accurate but was giving up way too many yards in distance. Returned the F7 to PGA SUPERSTORE and traded it in for Callaway Epic subzero driver. Clearly Callaway is Better with superior distance and with the same accuracy as the F7.
Once you go through all of the major brands, can you take the "best" one from each and test those head to head? It'd be cool to see a brand vs brand video.
I’m only just finding this video in 2020. I had a BioCell+ model in 2014/15 and it felt so good to hit, was very consistent and was the longest driver I had. I also previously had the Amp Cell in a Draw model and it was not a good driver. So far the only other drivers I’ve played that feel nearly as good as the BioCell+ have been TaylorMade. Have never felt confident with a Callaway and have yet to play a Ping or Titleist.
I don't understand though if you go to Rick's video where he tests the Cobra Fly Z for the first time he crushes it. But in this test he's surprised by a big drop off?? In that video it averages 300 yards compared to 268...so what happened.
Hi Rick, truly enjoy such comparative vlogs, however, why ProV1? Is the Callaway Chrome soft not as good a ball or is it just down to personal preference 👍🏽
Something wrong here, because Rick's 2015 review of the Fly-Z, he hit 300 yards total distance. Maybe using the same shaft here give wrong results for some models.
Rick, although you can use the same shaft in the Cobra drivers with the my fly 8, the lie angle of the club head will be off. the my fly will be @ 9.5 degrees but the actual angle will be off for most of the clubs and they will be launching at the wrong angle. So the test is already off. And the BioCell was the best for me, until i got the king LTD.
The bio cell plus driver colour scheme looked awesome especially the black and white version( tm 🤔) and was really low spin and still if not one of the longest drivers I have ever tested
i don't know if cobra's f9 was out when this test was produced but if yes shouldn't that be included to see what progress have been done same goes for callaway 2012 to 2017 ?
Could it be that the older clubs have metal fatigue and thus perform under par, or it can be the shaft producing higher spinning conditions than optimal. Keep up the tests and hopefully can do a each year winner of all the manufacturers, then an ultimate driver championship. How about a Ben Ross test in the future, they seem to have some lower spinnings models. Cheers!
I am really surprised. I absolutely love my FlyZ driver. But then again, I don't put very much spin on my drives, so maybe that's why it works so well for me.
Can you do these videos again? Maybe with drivers newer than 2018? These videos are my favourite! Thank you.
The Fly Z results are most interesting. If you look at Rick's review of the same Fly Z model driver back in 2015, he averaged over 300 yards and a longest hit of 321 yards. Spin rate was also in the order of 2400, not 3800 like this review. Different shafts is the only noticeable difference in the clubs. Maybe an off day Rick?

Love the 5-year tests, Rick. No one else is doing this kind of thing! If they are, they're certainly not doing it as well. Cheers from Tennessee!

It comes down to how many balls it’s hit I’d imagine. The face wear and tear over time could make a big difference in performance.
I was wondering the same thing, because I just bought the Fly Z a few days ago and l've averaged around 275-280 but yesterday I managed to hit one like 320 with proper roll and decent conditions, maybe it was the shaft or something I don't know but what I know Is I wasn't hitting 250 lol
Rick also tested the Razr Fit Extreme over 300 yards and the Ping G25, too back then.
Let us see a test amongst the best of all the brands now. I really like these review. Some have really surprised me.
Can we please have a head to head of the winners from each 5 year test of the different manufacturers
I like this idea
Great idea
Please, do a test of the cobra low spin models...😁
Yes! He really needs to do a + version of Cobra drivers.
He would need to do a video for every companies "low spin" models if he did that. That means every TP, Tour and D2 driver
Great review! I bought the bio cell new in 2014 and still have them. Looks like I bought the right ones. I can’t definitely tell they don’t hit as far as other brands though. Might look at upgrading in the near future.
Please do this with Mizuno
Second that
Don Harrold what do you mean?
Kim Schröder It means I support that, e.g. I second that...
Don Harrold Ah ok...
great little serisyou have made rick so original and so fasinating keep it up!!!
Really love this series of videos with the drivers. Thanks for your hard work in bringing such wide and varied videos!
Results slightly skewed due to the shaft
Project x was super high spinning for me. Switched out for the white tie shaft. Keep the vids coming.
I used to play the Bio Cell driver as well until a couple of months ago. I got along really well with it, but because it got older I wanted a new shiny toy. I could not hit the Cobra F6 or F7 at all when I went to look for a new driver to replace my Bio Cell. I was all over the place and lost about 20 yards of distance as well.

Massive swing changes. You didn't notice he was hitting slinging draws back then?
Agreed. Fly-Z yardages look way off. Lots of weekend duffers would hit it that far. And crazy high spin at 3800.
Such a great video Rick. I love be the way you construct and put these videos together. Keep it up
Definitely keep doing these. Very helpful
These 5 yr club reviews are some of my favorite you do. Thank you so much! You could expand it to irons as well. Maybe hit a 7iron from multiple years?
Hi rick your original review of the cobra fly z you were hitting over 300yards with good spin rates and you were really impressed with the club so don’t see how you have now dropped to under 280yards and have it spinning to high
Love the videos keep up the good work
👍👍👍
So far Im only impressed with the results Titleist drivers have produced........ They aren't flooding the market either with drivers...
Less is more
Agreed, they make a design and they stick with it. My buddy asked me about Callaway's and which were good and I just told him, dude, I don't know there are like 6 dozen diff version of their clubs over the last few years that I can't keep up anymore lol.
Hey Rick, love yo videos man!!! Keep on the awesome work !!
hey i’m subbed to you. love ur short vids😉
Great video AGAIN. Thanks rick.

Antony Osborn Lol you're an idiot. It's not how "hot" they are it's spin
In the review video the FLY Z spinned 2300
Antony Osborn OK so if that’s true this whole review is irrelevant
Something is off with this test. If you go back and look at your review of the Fly Z your number were way better than this test. Something is messed up.
Agree
His strike?
Although the strikes were around the same area the Fly Z was clearly the lowest average on the face and looked below the centre line... so higher spin and less distance
Agreed. Just watched the reviews and he says he's "fallen in love" with the Fly-Z and was spanking it 300yds plus. Then rips on it here.
2nd hand clubs. Plus companies may test their review clubs to make sure they don't send out a lemon. Some manufacturers may have more quality control. Love my Bio Cell Pro still.
Glad you did this review Rick. I have gamed Cobra clubs for their forgiveness for years. I currently have gamed my Bio Cell for 2 years and hasn’t failed me.
Cheers from Florida USA
I used the Bio Cell+ in the blue/white colorway for almost a full decade. Loved it! Still remains the most beautiful driver ever made.
I enjoy the true honesty on the club production.
On that, I think you should stick R15.
You seam to control it well.
What set of clubs do you prefer personally. You should post a video review on them.
I’m gutted you’ve not hit the ZL encore driver I’m using that now and I love it compared to everything which is out there now
Hey Rick!! Great video! Are you still planning on doing a review of the Arccos 360?
Presently got the Cobra King F6+ Pro in my bag now. It's working for me and it'll stay in the bag til something else comes along.
You didn't have to wait too long for the F8 then Rick! Haha! I'm a Bio Cell man myself and love the sound and strike off it. Tried the F7 but didnt think it was as good. After you F8 review, i'm really looking forward to trying that. Got any spare??
curious why the Fly-Z got such great reviews in your vid from 2015 and not now.
I'm playing the Fly Z and I love it. Go back over your original test of the club.
I have the Ltd pro and its great! Do a test of the low spin models
Cobra drivers are known to spin a lot for certain models. The best strikes for lower spin usually were higher face strikes on Cobras. So the saying to get fit is quite important on cobra clubs.

Thanks for doing this one
thanks for that rick you have made up my mind im sticking with the bio cell plus im using now rather than swapping up to the new f7
Definitely a surprising video, I would've loved to see how the LTD went, but then again, thats a low spin. Thankfully I have the F6 which seems to be the better option.
Would love to see a midhandicap review of the new Cobra F-Max range, driver through irons.
Keep up the good work.
Hi rick I use a mash up of this years cobra driver and the shafts from the bio cell 2014 bit of you weight the clubs each year the club head has got heavier but the bio cell shaft is amazing with this year’s head range much straighter for me at least
Good work Rick!
Mizuno 5 year driver review next please :)
Great job Rick!!
I love my Cobra driver, 3 wood and hybrids. So consistent for me.
I get my new f7 out there at 300 but i have the weight fwd... makes a huge difference
Rick, when you did the original test on the Cobra Fly Z driver you used the Xstiff shaft that came with the shaft and you just killed it, most of you test drivers strikes were all or close to the 300 yard mark and dispersion was very good. It was one of the best for distance and direction, now with this same driver head three years later and a different shaft is seems to be one of the worst for distance and dispersion. Just seems strange, I would think you would used an original VLCT shaft like the first test for this later test. Just wondering about this test with this other shaft, the head might be fine but the shaft mismatched.
I purchased my Fly Z driver because of your original review, where your stats were much better. It was among the best drivers you ever hit. Not sure what happened here. Had to have been the shaft.
40Rouge Same lol, he was smashing balls into next week in his Fly-Z review. Sometimes I feel like he has short term memory loss...
Same here. Fly z still in my bag. Love it. He hit it over 300 every shot while reviewing and now 268?!? From strike location,he forgot how it likes a higher strike also.
fly z user here still after ricks original review and have found nothing since to change it.
Right. I don't understand that at all. My club head speed is less than his and I can get it to 270+. This makes me really wonder about his "honest" reviews.
The fly z is one of the best driver of 2015 and the flyz + was even better then that and he loved it shirt term memory loss indeed. Also his f7 review were over 300yards how has he lost 15yards in a short time.
Yep, somethng is not right, the original Fly Z review was gushing about the quality of e driver. I think it is a crapshoot using used clubs for this test. I think comparing previous reviews using new equipment vs these past five years with used clubs would show big discrepancies with performance within the same model.
Dang it! Just bought the Fly-Z Plus! Hope it performs better than shown here.
Just moved from cobra fly z driver to Callaway f16 for this exact reason..great video
Hey i really enjoy your channel and its contents. Question for you on this video though on similar subject videos you moved the weights around if allowed but yet on this video you did not may I ask why? Or did you not think it would change the results
I borrowed th Amp Cell from pro in the early summer whilst waiting for new Epic Rick's review is spot on I drove with it very straight but could not get distance out of it because it was spinning so high - it was barely longer than my 3w
depending on the shaft . stock shaft even in stiff is very whippy . better stiff shaft and I was hitting it over 300 a few years back , still have one in my front room today if I ever get in a slump I pull it out to go out and hit some fairways . :)
This is my favotire video of all time haha
Great comparison test. I started off the year with the F7 driver and also found it spun way too much, very accurate but was giving up way too many yards in distance. Returned the F7 to PGA SUPERSTORE and traded it in for Callaway Epic subzero driver. Clearly Callaway is Better with superior distance and with the same accuracy as the F7.
Why would you not test the plus and limited models? Hopefully there will be a part 2.
Keep doing these
Great video.
Once you go through all of the major brands, can you take the "best" one from each and test those head to head? It'd be cool to see a brand vs brand video.
Would be awesome if you could do the last 5 Drivers Nike made before they closed down the club manufacturing
I’m only just finding this video in 2020. I had a BioCell+ model in 2014/15 and it felt so good to hit, was very consistent and was the longest driver I had. I also previously had the Amp Cell in a Draw model and it was not a good driver. So far the only other drivers I’ve played that feel nearly as good as the BioCell+ have been TaylorMade. Have never felt confident with a Callaway and have yet to play a Ping or Titleist.
Fly Z - 3804 that's seriously high spin, interesting and strange results that
Rick how do u rate and where would you put the Cobra baffle xl driver in this Group Test
Thanks in advance for reply
Still play my 2013 Silver amp cell pro, getting around 270 carry with it. Maybe time for a custom fit upgrade.
Although it’s discontinued. Would love to see a Nike. My first video I saw of you was the first covert review. Been a fan ever since.
I don't understand though if you go to Rick's video where he tests the Cobra Fly Z for the first time he crushes it. But in this test he's surprised by a big drop off?? In that video it averages 300 yards compared to 268...so what happened.
Can you do the same test with the low spin models in your same shaft you have in your driver now? I feel that would give the truest results
Can You do wilson saff drivers
Agreed. Something different...
Hi Rick, truly enjoy such comparative vlogs, however, why ProV1? Is the Callaway Chrome soft not as good a ball or is it just down to personal preference 👍🏽
Hi Rick ... great review series!!! .. how about the last 5 years of Cleveland drivers. Cheers GF.
Something wrong here, because Rick's 2015 review of the Fly-Z, he hit 300 yards total distance. Maybe using the same shaft here give wrong results for some models.
Love my bio cell + driver
Best driver Ive owned and will be keeping it till it cracks
Just gave mine the chop for the st200g things a beast lol 😝
I would love to see a review of the Taylormade L.I.F.T. 2 iron. It's relatively new but would love to see it reviewed by you rick.
You should do best drivers from 5year challenge and do a longest drive love the video
Rick, although you can use the same shaft in the Cobra drivers with the my fly 8, the lie angle of the club head will be off. the my fly will be @ 9.5 degrees but the actual angle will be off for most of the clubs and they will be launching at the wrong angle. So the test is already off. And the BioCell was the best for me, until i got the king LTD.
Hey Rick - how would you compare your current SZ Xtreme to for instance the Cobra Bio Cell from 2014?
Want to see reviews of current mdgolf range . Wedges look amazing but how would drivers / irons compare to premium brands ?
The bio cell plus driver colour scheme looked awesome especially the black and white version( tm 🤔) and was really low spin and still if not one of the longest drivers I have ever tested
Hold on Rick, am I the only one seeing a smoking effect right after you hit the ball? LOL
Time for new vids like this!😁👌
i don't know if cobra's f9 was out when this test was produced but if yes shouldn't that be included to see what progress have been done same goes for callaway 2012 to 2017 ?
Had the bio cell+ with the red tie shaft, was awesome. Everything after that just felt a bit over gimmicky to me. Hopefully F8 will be better.
Bought a Bio Cell two years ago based on Ricks review on this channel so good to see that my choice was the correct one!
The puff of smoke on impact with each driver 😂
Could it be that the older clubs have metal fatigue and thus perform under par, or it can be the shaft producing higher spinning conditions than optimal. Keep up the tests and hopefully can do a each year winner of all the manufacturers, then an ultimate driver championship. How about a Ben Ross test in the future, they seem to have some lower spinnings models. Cheers!
I own the cobra F6 and love it
Using one myself will be staying in my bag for a long time
interesting... would've liked to see the King LTD driver in the bunch (as i'm gaming that one ;) )
Yep. Might as well do Mizuno. Thanks.
Not surprised the bio cell was No1 since The Project X shaft used was the stock shaft. The stock for the fly z and Fx were Matrix and Fujikura.
I've 2 bio cells after using mizuno mp001 and mp 630, the bio cell is very forgiving and decent distance.
Do a Nike one
Mark Kelly yes!!!!
Yessssssss
Nike is out of golf, so seems less relevant.
But... why? As Chester said, Nike has pulled out of golf... Literally no point.
The fly-z+ is a game changer rick! Also please do a test with Nike drivers
I am really surprised. I absolutely love my FlyZ driver. But then again, I don't put very much spin on my drives, so maybe that's why it works so well for me.
