Building on the momentum from their last release, the OPTM brings a refined shape, fast ball speeds, and a new message. Cobra drivers have always been fast, but this year accuracy is the message with their POI (Products of Inertia) story.  Combine that with the FutureFit33 adapter and you have the ability to dial in the driver to your liking. <\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t familiar with the FF33 adapter you can watch our <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kUMk2c5vG1U\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube video<\/a> where I was fit for the OPTM X driver using only the adapter to get optimized for my swing. <\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this, odds are you are familiar with the way we test equipment. If you aren\u2019t, lets get you up to speed. We don\u2019t just test with low handicap players, we prefer to get information from real golfers just like you, whether you are a 4 or a 20 handicap. <\/p>\n<p>For the Cobra OPTM, six forum members were selected, they chose which Cobra OPTM model they wanted to test, it was shipped to them directly and after a testing for a period of 4 weeks, these are their quick thoughts. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">\u201cThe POI, or Product of Inertia is real.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>I was lucky enough to be playing the DS-ADAPT\u00a0MAX K\u00a0before receiving the OPTM MAX K for testing. I was already familiar with the FF33 adjustments and comfortable with the way it played.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/OPTM-Hot-face.jpg\" alt=\"Cobra OPTM H.O.T.

The POI, or Product of Inertia is real.\u00a0Basically\u00a0the\u00a0reduction of\u00a0of\u00a0the twisting on off center hits, giving you a tighter hitting pattern and giving you more fairways\u00a0hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I have played a lot of Drivers in my life, but\u00a0i\u00a0have settled on Cobra for a reason, The DS-ADAPT\u00a0was awesome, but this new OPTM has raised the bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Donny475\u00a0\u2013 Forum member from Texas<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"597\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cobra-OPTM-X.jpg\" alt=\"OPTM X\" class=\"wp-image-73526 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The OPTM\u00a0X delivered exactly what Cobra\u2019s POI story is aiming for, stability and accuracy. Even when my strike\u00a0lived\u00a0toe-side, dispersion stayed tight and the ball stayed playable. Once I got FF33 dialed in a bit, it became a true fairway-finder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a 24 handicap\u00a0who\u2019s\u00a0historically fought a high-right miss, the OPTM X gave me the confidence to make a committed swing. When I found center, the face felt hot and incredibly rewarding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Rodsroper \u2013 Forum member from Alabama<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cobra-OPTM-MAX-K.jpg\" alt=\"Cobra OPTM MAX K\" class=\"wp-image-73528 size-full\" style=\"object-position:73% 40%\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The Cobra OPTM <br \/>MAX K completely changed how I think about tee shots <\/p>\n<p>The consistency and stability are what stand out most, but the biggest thing for me is the confidence it gives at address. It frames the ball\u00a0really well\u00a0and just makes you feel like you can make a committed swing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">ChristopherKee\u00a0\u2013 Forum member from Virginia<\/p>\n<p>The Max-D has truly made me forget about my right miss altogether\u00a0off of\u00a0the tee box and has given me the confidence\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0never had before when hitting driver. As a 20+ handicap, most of us in that high-handicap group struggle with the strong fade\/slice, so\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0nice to just swing freely and not have to worry about that dreadful slice, if you struggle with it. All of that while gaining more distance on top of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I\u2019ve\u00a0gained 25-30 yards of\u00a0carry on\u00a0average compared to the average carry of my previous drivers over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"758\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cobra-OPTM-MAX-D.jpg\" alt=\"Cobra OPTM MAX D\" class=\"wp-image-73529 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The OPTM MAX-D does\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0job and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The FF33 system is a game changer and once you find that one setting that works with your swing and eliminates\u00a0your\u00a0miss, it instills immediate confidence. Real talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Weezel\u00a0\u2013 Forum member from Michigan<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cobra-OPTM-LS.jpg\" alt=\"OPTM LS\" class=\"wp-image-73530\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The OPTM LS has the potential of being a ball speed demon while maintaining accuracy. Even with poor contact you are never punished too much and find your ball in a playable position. The LS also allows you to swing in control and still launch balls way down the fairway and end up in places you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0normally expect.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The best thing about the LS and the OPTM line in general is the ability to adjust your club at will with the multiple weight ports and the crown jewel that is the FF33\u00a0hosel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Subcrazy\u00a0\u2013 Forum member from Georgia<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy\u2026and one more for good measure.
