POI measurement tells engineers how the clubhead moves diagonally across multiple axis at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means a high MOI helps correct off-center hits and a low POI will produce more accurate drives with the clubhead having less gear effect and producing tighter dispersion down the fairway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMOI is still important, but POI is the next frontier in terms of overall accuracy,\u201d said Jose Miraflor, VP of Product Architecture and Consumer Connections at Cobra Puma Golf. \u201cIn design, we want to increase MOI (stability) while also reducing POI (3D twisting). POI finetunes forgiveness into directional consistency as it allows the clubhead to rotate more naturally with your swing. If you\u2019re playing a 10k driver but wonder why hits on the high toe, for example, are still producing noticeably wild results, it\u2019s probable your driver has a high POI design, which is a common fault of many current high MOI models.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By ED TRAVIS Cobra\u2019s new premium metalwoods family called OPTM is populated by four drivers: OPTM LS, OPTM&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3020],"tags":[3122,3243,3084],"class_list":["post-10323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cobra","tag-cobra","tag-cobra-golf","tag-drivers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
