Lofts compared
- AMP Cell
- Fly-Z
What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the AMP Cell is 31° and the Fly-Z is 30.5°, a 0.5° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Fly-Z should carry about 2 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the AMP Cell. Across the 11 clubs both sets share, the differences roughly cancel out, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (21° vs 19°). The pitching wedges are 44° and 45°; the stronger one leaves a 6° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The AMP Cell is listed as cast body with welded high-strength steel face (metalwood face-weld) and the Fly-Z as investment cast undercut cavity back with welded face insert. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The Fly-Z came out 2 years after the AMP Cell, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The Fly-Z is the weaker-lofted set — up to 2° weaker than the AMP Cell. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Cobra AMP Cell stronger lofted than the Fly-Z?
No. The Fly-Z is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 30.5° against 31° for the Cobra AMP Cell, 0.5° stronger and worth about 2 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the Cobra AMP Cell and Fly-Z?
At the 7-iron the difference is 0.5° (31° vs 30.5°). The largest gap on a shared club is 2° at the 4-iron, and all 11 shared clubs differ.
Are the Cobra AMP Cell and Fly-Z aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the Cobra AMP Cell and Fly-Z have the same lie and length?
At the 7-iron, yes: both are 62.5° lie and 37.25 inches long.
