I like the sound of that. I play a push draw that can get out of hand so I'm hoping both those heads are a bit more fade biased. I believe the standard Aerojet is actually a pretty draw biased head, so I've been waiting to get out of it.
Cobra OPTM Driver Lineup: Redefining Inertia Beyond MOI

Very interested in this new line. Been using the Max K the last 4 months and driving has never been better. I do get the occasional right block but my handicap has dropped 3.5 points since making the switch.
Didn’t think I’d be swapping it out, but now curious on the X and K and if it might be worth changing over.

Crazy how rounded the bottom of the club looks. The tech is very interesting and as someone whose miss is a slice, the Max D heads from them are really good at eliminating that. Want to give this a try once it is in stores.
Not a huge fan of the look of the bottom of the club design wise (graphic locations and what not) but would not let that steer me away knowing how well Cobra has worked for me in the past.

Welcome to the craziness of the new new haha
With the X being the star of the line up with the what seems to be a happy medium between MOI and POI, I am stoked to go find one to hit. The Max K has been awesome and if this can dial in up to 23% better dispersion....
I am still trying to wrap my head around the 23% increase in dispersion. That is truly mind boggling and absolutely game changing.

I just assumed you had already haha
2 things and then a self inflicted criticism I can give myself.
23% improvement on dispersion is impressive
Does it make the 33 settings a little less needed?
I turned on the Shiels review as background noise to setup my workout and he is crying about the hosel... its my own fault

I started the video to see if he changed his tune. he did not and I turned it off. F that guy. No vision. No brains.

Finally getting a chance to read through and really liked the explanation on POI here.
Also happen to really like the driver. Have tested X and LS and definitely liked both. With my steep move I leaned towards LS, but with the customization options a lot can be done.
Best looking weights in golf currently, and that might not matter to many, but I am vain.
Great headcover, I actually really like the ladies headcover version being that soft green.
Overall this is a massive winner for Cobra if people get out and try it.

I don't think so. Why wouldn't you want to get it as dialed as possible with a head that is more forgiving than the previous model?
Well how much improvement is actually possible I guess is my point. Will the hosel take that to 30% if already properly fit? Just a question that came to mind. I'm sure its an excellent club

The 23% was compared to the DS Adapt, which also had the same hosel.
I think the hosel is for dialing in launch conditions and start line. Then the dispersion is how consistently you hit that window.

Not feeling great as it's been a really crummy day so far, but I wanted to get some swings in on the LS. Warmed up with a PW then went right into driver.
Before data, the immediate thought is holy low spin batman. The LS 9.0 set to A1 with standard weight orientation was LOW spin as you will see but fast given I didn't do warmups with driver. The interesting one to me is shot three because it was a pretty hefty toe ball miss, in the ADAPT LS it would have 100 percent been DOA. But here, it wasn't... and the line it kept was not what I anticipated.
So, I was going to do nothing more, but then I got curious. I moved the loft to +2/0 (C7) AND put the heaviest weight in the back. Ball speeds reacted accordingly, but the drastic change in spin, launch, and peak were fun to see. Clearly this is me taking setting to the extreme other end of things, but man, what is there to not like here? Especially when you look at shot 6 which was LOW on the face, spin jumped, but not crazily and it was straight as can be.
The session together for those that want to see it:
BIG quick thoughts, directionally this makes no sense to me. These were NOT great swings, but the reactions I got off the face directionally were clearly REALLY exciting. Want to get it outside ASAP. If you have questions, fire away. Will also try to get out and do a real warmup in the days before I leave for the PGA show and get another set.

Always wild to see how much the settings can change things. Seeing low spin but forgiving is getting my attention.
I’m aware. I tested 26 in the same fitting. I hurt myself with 10 shots each

Really good stuff! Those changes made quite a difference. Crazy LOL.
Also...swing harder.

It didn’t want to leave the midline/target
NOT what I expected given contact on a few of them.
