Cobra ZL Driver

The Cobra ZL Driver turns its back on the race to reach maximum limits and introduce total adjustability to concentrate on the kind of performance enhancing driver for which Cobra is famed. Intensive customer research has shown that golfer want control, accuracy and distance from their drivers with only enough adjustability to maximize those three factors. The ZL driver, offering “Zero Limits,” is Cobra’s response.

Golfers with some knowledge of the Cobra L5 driver will immediately recognize that the ZL offers a much quieter sound at impact thanks to a more curved sole, the addition of a support bridge on the sole and the removal of the dimples which appeared on the crown of the L5V.

The ZL driver features a titanium body with a titanium face insert and a carbon composite crown and sole which has been designed to work with the adjustable swingweight screw and the striking but traditional shaped clubhead to maximize the moment of inertia and optimize the centre of gravity to provide the launch, control, and forgiveness that golfer crave to find consistently off the tee.

The large milled rhombus face insert work with the thin titanium surround to ensure that the Cobra ZL Driver provides exceptionally high ball speeds on even off centre hits to produce added distance that will make the ZL especially appealing to golfer who are seeking a little bit of extra distance off the tee.

Adjustability comes in the form of Adjustable Flight Technology (AFT) that allows golfers to choose one of three different options by making a simple adjustment to the shaft. These open, neutral and closed options give golfers the ability to customize the performance of the ZL driver so that it best enhances their individual swing and compliment the draw bias face angle.

With the Aldila Vodoo Shaft as standard the Cobra ZL Driver offers every golfer the chance to enhance their performance with one of the best looking and best sounding drivers that Cobra have ever produced.

What Golfalot Says


The Cobra ZL Driver is the replacement for the L5V driver and continues the adjustability options available by having an extra third setting to open the club face. The adjustment is very simple and easy to make but we found the results were quite subtle. One of the drawbacks of the L5V was the noise at impact and Cobra have improved this significantly with the ZL driver and it now gives a much better solid sound.

The feel was great and the forgiveness was very good, although we felt it was not quite as good as the L5V, which was exceptional. The semi-triangular shape of the Cobra ZL driver head is meant to help the moment of inertia and it does a pretty good job although we found that the slightly longer 46 inch shaft resulted in a little more dispersion than usual. However that is the trade off for the extra distance that comes with a longer shaft. The shaft is quite light and combines well with the composite head which sat nicely at address. The draw bias weight in the head did not affect the flight too much so all you drawers out there will find this easy to play with, especially if you use the open shaft setting on the Cobra ZL driver.
