Poulter Continues Push with Cobra ZL Driver

Following his 10th European Tour win last week in the UBS Hong Kong Open and career low 10 under 60, Ian Poulter continues his form this week with a strong start in the Dubai World Championship.

Poulter normally noted for his approach play, currently GIR European Tour leader, after 2 rounds he is in the top 10 for Driving Accuracy.  Is this attributed to use of the “All-White” Limited Edition Cobra ZL Driver ?

Before arriving in Hong Kong, the flamboyant Poulter had enjoyed success at the WGC-Accenture World Match-Play Championship and not only bolstered his Official World Golf Ranking, but also his position in the Race to Dubai. Poulter is now 5th going into the final event of the European Tour season, with ultimate confidence in his Cobra Golf equipment. 

“My Cobra driver and irons have really helped me boost my game this year,” said Poulter. “I am especially impressed with the ZL Driver, this is my third win using it and the first using the all-white version. I like the visual of it, it's really very cool. It's unique and different than any driver I've seen - plus its performance is great, too. Just like the ZL Driver that I've used all year.”

En route to victory, Poulter was playing Cobra Golf clubs, including the Limited Edition ZL Driver (9.5°) with a Fujikura Motore Speeder shaft, Cobra Pro CB 3-6-iron with True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts, and Cobra Pro MB 7-PW with Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts. Poulter earned his first victory in the U.S. earlier this year at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, where he also used a Cobra ZL Driver.

The Englishman’s score of 60 on the tournament’s second day included 10 birdies, tied the Tour’s 18-hold scoring record, and was one of Poulter’s personal best rounds. "I would rank it pretty high, to be honest," he said. "I shot 61 in Italy in 2002 I think, so it's my lowest round of golf to date. So I would have to rate it up there. I played great all week. It's just nice to be able to have another 'W'.”

Currently joint leader after round 2 at the Dubai World Championship at 9 under, Poulter looks set for another fine showing this weekend.
