Cobra’s newest metalwood platform isn’t built around a new face material or a louder speed story. It’s built around accuracy—and specifically, the company’s push to minimize Products of Inertia (POI), a three-axis measure of how much a driver head resists twisting through impact.

For elite amateurs, that focus matters. Dispersion isn’t just a launch monitor stat—it’s the difference between playing from the fairway and scrambling from angles that turn birdie holes into par saves. With OPTM, Cobra is essentially saying the path to more fairways is not only higher MOI, but also lower twisting across every axis, producing less side spin, tighter dispersion, and more repeatable starting lines.

What POI changes in a driver

Most golfers are familiar with MOI, the measure tied to stability and forgiveness. Cobra’s OPTM story adds another layer: POI, which evaluates resistance to twisting across three axes rather than treating stability as a single-dimensional concept.

The practical takeaway is simple: when twisting is reduced through impact, the face returns more consistently, gear-effect becomes more predictable, and the ball launches with less unwanted curvature. In other words, you can strike it slightly high-toe or low-heel and still see a flight that behaves like your stock shot—not a violent overcut or a surprise snap.

Cobra’s engineers leaned on strategic shaping and refined weight placement to drive POI down while still optimizing MOI. The goal wasn’t to build a one-off “stable” head. It was to create a family of drivers that all share the same accuracy-first DNA: lower spin, greater stability, and tighter dispersion across the face.

A full lineup built around accuracy

OPTM arrives as a complete release, not a single hero head. Cobra is rolling out four new men’s driver models, along with new fairway woods and hybrids, plus a fully new OPTM women’s line. The signal is clear: this is the company’s metalwood direction, not a limited sub-project.

For competitive amateurs, the value is in how cleanly the lineup separates by player need. Each head is tuned for a specific launch and curvature profile, but all of them are intended to deliver the same core promise: straighter ball flight, reduced side spin, and better control when you miss your intended strike location.

OPTM LS: compact, low spin, maximum precision

The OPTM LS is built for players who want speed and workability in a compact shape, but who also demand that low spin doesn’t come with low stability. Cobra positions this as its most accurate LS model to date by combining optimized MOI with the platform’s lowest POI targets.

That combination is important for elite amateurs who live in the low-spin category: the goal is to keep spin down without creating the volatility that can show up when strike drifts away from center. LS players tend to swing fast enough to expose small stability deficiencies. OPTM LS aims to keep the flight tight, controlled, and repeatable—even when the strike isn’t perfect.

OPTM X: the balanced gamer for most competitive players

The OPTM X sits in the center of the lineup, designed to blend speed, accuracy, and stability without forcing you into an extreme spin or bias profile. It features optimized MOI and POI in a slightly larger footprint than the LS, adding confidence at address while maintaining a performance profile built for consistent results across the face.

For many elite amateurs, this is the “play-it-anywhere” head—the option that holds up across different course setups and wind conditions without requiring you to chase a perfect strike pattern to get predictable dispersion.

OPTM MAX-K: Cobra’s highest MOI ever

The OPTM MAX-K is the forgiveness leader, engineered to achieve Cobra’s highest MOI ever. Built through advanced supercomputing and refined weight placement, MAX-K targets golfers who want the straightest possible results and the most consistent stability when speed rises and timing varies.

In competitive amateur golf, that matters most when the tee shot must be placed, not just launched. Reduced side spin and a higher stability ceiling tend to show up as fewer “one-side misses” and more tee shots that finish in playable angles. If you want the head that gives you the most help without turning into a hook machine, MAX-K is designed to be that answer.

OPTM MAX-D: slice correction without guesswork

The OPTM MAX-D is designed for players who fight a right miss and need a more left-biased flight. With strategic weight placement and a center of gravity positioned closer to the hosel, MAX-D promotes higher launch, faster face closure, and straighter starts—helping reduce the wipey cut that costs distance and turns fairways into rough lines.

Importantly, the goal here isn’t to create an exaggerated draw head that only works on perfect swings. It’s to build a driver that meaningfully improves face-to-path outcomes and curvature control for golfers who are otherwise giving away too many shots on the tee through a predictable miss.
