The sound and feel is a little better and the flight with the lower lofts is good and penetrating. This is quite a clever solution to this problem and means there are no contrived pads to adjust on the sole, it just works as it is.Īlthough the head looks a different shape and size to the previous Cobra AMP driver at address, it is in fact almost the same. This gives the sole a single point of contact with the ground no matter how you align the face and the face 'pivots' around this bar as you change the loft so that the face always stays square whichever loft you use. Cobra have got around this with the SmartPad which is a 1.5cm bar that goes right across the sole.

Now this is a wider range than most adjustable drivers go to and one of the reasons for this is the fact that when you change loft you can also affect the face angle. With the AMP Cell, Cobra have changed the settings to be loft based with a range of 8.5 to 11.5 degrees. The previous AMP range had 3 options of open, closed and neutral. However there is more than just looks to the AMP Cell driver and the main technology focuses on a wide range of loft adjustments. Either way they look even better behind the ball than they do in the shop, so don't be put off by this and give them a go as it will be worth it. We think the red will do well, but the blue came out top on an on-line straw poll of our social network users.
The head feels lighter, it sounds better, the adjustable options offer more flexibility and it looks a bit more classy.The Cobra AMP Cell driver certainly stands out from the crowd with its eye-catching colours. If it is too high or loud for you then the Cobra BiO Cell + Driver will probably be more to your taste.Ĭompared to the previous model the changes are more evolution than revolution, but like most new designs the second generation is always better than the first and so it is with the BiO Cell. The sound was quite sharp and reasonably loud in a pleasing way and reflected the lightness of the club well. The flight from the Cobra BiO Cell driver was mid to high in general thanks to that low and deep CG, so this will suit everyone from single figure handicap golfers upwards. The Project X shaft however more than makes up for it as at 62 grams it is light, very stable and really makes the club. Whilst this will increase clubhead speed it can make it a little unwieldy to swing if you are not used to it. You can just see this on the back half of the crown in the right light as it is quite subtle underneath the paint job, but we like the look of it.Īs is common with distance drivers these days, the BiO Cell comes with a longer 45.75 inch Project X shaft as standard. The Cell structure has evolved with a new lattice structure in the crown enabling Cobra to move weight from there to the sole of the club to make the Centre of Gravity (CG) lower and further back. The crowns are nice and clean with the Cobra logo as a line up point and a couple of lines around the back of the crown that give the BiO Cell a classy look. Whichever colour you choose the face is a dark colour and some may find the black face/black head combo a little hard to pick up the face with, but that will be down to personal preference. Certainly on mishits it did the job with the ball going a respectable distance even when you know the strike was less than perfect.Īs usual with Cobra there is a wide choice of colours, with the four from the AMP Cell of silver, blue, orange and red being joined by an all black version. As a result the face is quite tall and wide relative to other models. It does offer a slightly different feeling at address compared to other drivers at address as there is this single point of balance.Īlso returning is Cobra's E9 face that aims to offer forgiveness by maintaining MOI right across the face from left to right and top to bottom. The Smart Pad sits towards the front half of the sole just behind the leading edge and is the main balance point. The Smart Pad on the sole that keeps the face square at address regardless of the loft is still there and is a clever solution to the problem of face angle and lie changing as the loft is adjusted. These give a wide range of choices in a very easy to understand manner and when we played around with them the flight did change significantly, so the flexibility is good. You can now go from 9° to 12° in 5 stages and there are also 3 draw settings at 9.5°, 10.5° and 11.5°. The Bio Cell features a similar adjustable hosel, but now the MyFly8 system has an extra 2 settings bringing the total lofts options up to, you guessed it, eight. The Cobra BiO Cell driver succeeds the Cobra AMP Cell driver and is a refinement of the ideas introduced in the previous model.
