Cobra Bio Cell+ Fairway Woods
Cobra’s new Bio Cell+ fairway woods are designed with better players in mind, with a lower, more forward center of gravity than the company’s Bio Cell fairway woods to promote a more penetrating trajectory.
“In an effort to continually improve upon our top-performing products, we worked in collaboration with some of our Tour players to design the club head on our BiO CELL+ Fairways,” said Jose Miraflor, director of product marketing at Cobra. “The clubs have a great look and feel and are purpose-built to deliver exactly what Tour-level players need.”
The ultra-compact fairway woods have extremely thin 455 carpenter-stainless-steel faces, and include the company’s new MyFly8 adjustable hosel that allows golfers to choose from five different lofts (12 to 15 degrees on the 3-4 Wood, 16 to 19 degrees on the 5-7 Wood) and three “draw” settings, which make the clubs more upright. Cobra’s Smart Pad, a specially designed strip on the club’s sole, ensures that the face angle of the clubs will remain relatively square throughout loft and lie adjustments.
The Bio Cell+ fairway woods come stock with a Matrix “Red Tie” 6Q3 shaft, but golfers have the option to order a custom shaft with no upcharge. The custom shaft options are Mitsubishi Rayon’s Diamana D+ “White Board” 72 shaft and True Temper’s Project X PXv Tour 53-gram shaft. The clubs will hit stores on Feb.7, and will sell for $249. They’re available in five colors: black, orange, silver, red and blue.

Q&A: Martin Trainer on his Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers” putter, 6.5-degree driver, and “butter knife” 2-iron
As unbiasedly as I can put it, Martin Trainer has one of the coolest club setups in professional golf. (At some point soon, I’ll put together a top-10 list of “coolest club setups on Tour,” but I know that Trainer will be in the top-10)
What a lineup. He plays a 6.5-degree Wilson prototype driver, a 13-degree Wilson prototype 3-wood, a true blade Wilson Staff Model 2-iron, and a Bobby Grace “Greg Chalmers Commemorative” putter!
View this post on Instagram
I mean, look at this 2-iron from address…
To quote the great author R.L. Stine: “Goosebumps.”
On Wednesday at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open, I caught up with Trainer to learn more about his bag setup.
Here’s what he had to say:
You have the Internet going crazy over your bag setup, and your putter. Where’d you pick the Bobby Grace-Greg Chalmers putter up? How long have you had it?
MT: This was from when Bobby Grace came to my course in California: Cal Club. And for whatever reason, they just started having them in the shop. So then I took my buddy’s, started using it, and made, like, a million putts in a row, which is how every putter story begins, I guess.
And then, I bought a couple of my own, used it for years, got to the Tour with it, won on Tour with it (the 2019 Puerto Rico Open). Then, about a year later, started using another putter, did that for a couple years, but now it’s back in the bag.
When did it come back in the bag?
MT: December of this past year. So a few months ago.
What year would you say was the first time you threw that in the bag, or, like, when you bought it?
MT: God…Probably, 2016, maybe? 2018?
Do you remember how much you paid for it?
MT: I don’t know, actually. Maybe $100-150 bucks or something. I think that’s the only golf club I’ve bought between high school and now. Well, two, since I bought two of them.
The driver is interesting, too. What went into the prototyping process?
MT: That was a version of the current driver, but it was the prototype that they first came out with for Tour guys to try. And for whatever reason, I just never switched out to the new one.
It’s just 6.5 degrees, right?
MT: Yeah. Very low loft, yeah.
What kind of ball speed do you have with that these days?
MT: Like high 170’s.
Yeah, that’ll work. And then a 2-iron blade? We’re seeing fewer and fewer of those out here.
MT: Yeah. The butter knife.
Very cool thing to have in the bag. Have you done any testing with driving irons?
MT: Yeah, I used to have a thicker one, but it was a little offset, and I never hit it that well. And then finally, I started messing around with the butter knife. And I remember the first time I looked down at it, I was terrified. And then I ended up getting used to it, putting it in play, and it’s been in place since. It’s a pretty good club for me.
How far do you carry that?
MT: Like 235.
A good little wind club, I’m sure.
MTL Yeah, exactly. I can hit it very low. It’s great.
I love it. You have people shook looking at that. Thanks for the time, man.
MT: Absolutely.

Love the review. Was thinking of getting 913f, but might change my mind now. What head size is the 5-7 bio cell + fairway? I know the 3-4 is 148cc. Is the 5-7 same size or smaller again?

What is the head size / volume (cc) of the bio cell + 5 – 7 fairway?. Can’t seem to find it anywhere. Was going to get a 913f but this review has me thinking otherwise

Lol a 5 to 7 wood that doesn’t go over 20degrees? I remember when some 5 woods came in at 21degrees

The club number means nothing now, it’s all about the loft. They should just remove the club number.

I like the compact head shape and option for a whiteboard at no cost. I don’t care for the cosmetics though. The face is deeper which suits me better and it has a nice range of adjustibility. If they made one with a gloss black crown and black/silver bottom I’d be on the pre-order train!

How is that a 3-4 wood? it has a range of 12-15*

Ya those lofts are pretty darn strong… I bet the 3 wood set at 12* is a rocket though.
