Featuring an oversized head shape, heel-biased weighting, and an updated CG placement, the MAX-D is engineered for maximum slice correction and a high, effortless launch.
MOI, or "moment of inertia", is the term the golf industry uses to measure a club's stability and forgiveness. When a mishit occurs, the club head rotates around the ball, causing the face to twist open and push a shot offline. The higher the MOI, the more stable the club is, and the more resistant it is to twisting at impact. Cobra's OPTM family of metalwoods and hybrids is the first to optimize the club head for POI, or "product of inertia." While MOI measures stability in both horizontal and vertical directions, POI measures stability diagonally. By optimizing both MOI and POI using advanced supercomputing to strategically position weight in the head, OPTM delivers dramatically increased stability and forgiveness. Cobra's testing backs that claim, with OPTM producing a 23% tighter dispersion, meaning significantly straighter and longer mishits.
COBRA OPTM MAX-D Driver Features:
Oversized shape/profile, high launch, mid-low spin
11g fixed heel weight promotes maximum draw bias and moves the CG closer to the hosel to help get the ball up easier
A.I. optimized for MOI and POI for maximum stability and forgiveness, resulting in reduced side spin, a tighter dispersion, and increased accuracy
Forged face insert with H.O.T. Face technology delivers improved face flex for faster speeds and more distance across the face
FutureFit33 hosel system offers 33 unique loft and lie settings for more fine-tuned customization options (loft and lie can be adjusted +/- 2° independently; SMARTPAD keeps the face angle square in every setting)
Stock Shafts: Mitsubishi Vanquish PL, Mitsubishi Kai'li Dark Waves Red
Stock Grip: SuperStroke Crossline Black (Standard Size, 60R)
The 2026 season has been filled with new drivers, new technology and myriad options for golfers to test and choose from. Having options is great, but it can be confusing and become cluttered if you don’t know what you’re looking for in a new driver. We are here to make that a little easier with our new driver guide for 2026.
No longer is MOI enough for COBRA, who is now looking at a lesser used formula for forgiveness in its OPTM drivers and metals for 2026. Now, COBRA is looking at POI -- product of inertia -- which focuses on club rotation through three axes on the clubhead. Through consistency and accuracy, OPTM drivers are bringing forgiveness to a new level.
