ZL Encore driver
Golf Monthly Senior Staff Writer Paul O'Hagan reviews the Cobra ZL Encore driver
GM verdict: The Cobra AMP range made such an impact that the Encore driver sneaked under the radar. The Encore is more traditional in shape and produces a lower launch. A solid driver with a powerful impact sound. But.... AMP driver offers prodigious performance and costs less. PGA pro verdict: Bright cosmetics catch the eye and the pear-shaped head looks great. The head and shaft combination produced solid results on a pleasing flight. Test team verdict: Performance: 4/5 Visual Appeal: 4.5/5 Innovation: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5 Overall: 4/5
