I like Restricted-Version Season.
It means many issues. First, it means Launch Season is over. Effectively, nearly over.
Second, it means spring is sorta-kinda nearly across the nook. After dwelling by means of final week’s Snowmageddon right here in New England, any trace of heat, irrespective of how fleeting, feeds the soul.
And third, it means COBRA will get to flex its limited-edition chops.
Nobody, and I imply nobody, does limited-edition drivers like COBRA. Whereas their Masters-themed driver is at all times superb and its U.S. Open-themed driver will little doubt be as nicely, I like-love-love the truth that COBRA pays homage to Arnold Palmer and the Bay Hill Basic yearly with an Arnie-themed driver.
This 12 months’s COBRA x Arnold Palmer driver is the brand new OPTM X. Let’s test it out.
COBRA GOLF x Arnold Palmer OPTM X driver
This new limited-edition driver is in each significant approach precisely the identical as the usual COBRA OPTM X driver launched earlier this 12 months. The one distinction is the massive one: it’s all dressed up for Bay Hill.
COBRA outfitted the Arnie Particular (my phrases, not theirs. It matches, although, doesn’t it?) in a candy navy blue end with contrasting gold accents. Arnie’s signature umbrella brand makes loads of refined appearances on the motive force. A number of embellish the only real (together with a replica of Arnie’s precise signature) and the umbrella alignment brand is each understated and elegant.
An identical barrel-style headcover rounds out the package deal properly.
COBRA OPTM X fundamentals
Sadly, the COBRA OPTM X was not a standout performer on this 12 months’s MyGolfSpy driver take a look at. It completed center of the pack for ball pace, carry and whole distance and carried out under common in accuracy and forgiveness.
It options COBRA’s POI (product of inertia) shaping in addition to COBRA’s FUTUREFIT33
33-way adjustable hosel. We lined POI in our OPTM launch story in January however the brief take is that POI measures how a clubhead rotates diagonally throughout all axes directly. A low POI matched with a excessive MOI management gear impact and delivers tighter downrange dispersion.
