Not at all crazy! I just want to make sure I have some room for those sweet sweet 3DPTs.
Cobra OPTM Fairway Woods and Hybrids

I too am in serious ponder mode on these. My DS Adapt Max 5 wood with a Tensei Blue 65 X link regular flex shaft is RIDICULOUSLY good. It is a point and shoot as it gets in the top end of my bag. So good that i am thinking of dropping my 4 hybrid and adding a 7 wood. I wish I could still find a 7w head I could order with a custom shaft (I am a lefty) but to no avail. Curious to see if this latest iteration is as forgiving and straight as the last version.

Oh man.... I feel a "Here, take my money!!!!" event coming on.
Seem like a very arbitrary rule to prevent yourself from having the best bag setup possible.

I was NOT going to move from my ADAPT X 7W this year, not a chance, but, trade ins got me and there was a OPTM X 7 on the shelf, so, the battle happened.
Profile and feel are almost identical. But, the weight locations and how that’s impacted both baseline downrange effectiveness as well as adjustability (I’ve taken almost all the left out of it now with the forward toe weight port) has taken things to another gear for me.

ITs just my rule. I don't like a bag full of headcovers and I happen to hit long irons just fine. Its not a rule for everyone.

And fun Headcovers too.
I hit long irons great and I still took them out of the bag because there are easier/better/more fun options available.
I'm strongly leaning this way myselfRight, so Driver / MD / "6W" / 5H - 5 headcovers (not counting putter)
Lots of good info in here so far. I got a look at these yesterday but haven't hit them yet. Seems like I'd be dumb to not get a 7W.
Little comparison shot of 5 woods. Max is slightly more shallow.

Hit the 7W with Powercore White 8TX three times over two rounds today.
One off of a tee, hit the fairway.
Two into a par 5 from 229 and 228, missed the green, but both shots were over forced carry water on two sides, and I covered it easily to end up behind the green on both shots

It’s useful.
Love to hear this!
Best of all, no left miss with the weight forward in the toe side port.
In fact, that fact hurt me on the two shots into 5’s as I was playing for the draw I got out of the ADAPT
Makes me want to just go ahead and blind buy the X 7 wood, but not sure what shaft. I'll probably just stick my RB 63 S in it, but if I have to pay for a shaft anyway, and a LINQ PC isn't an option, not sure what else to get. I could get the prior version LINQ Blue, which I like, but too much love for the PC. Need Cobra to get their act together of offer the PC.

The forward toe side weight port changes everything for me. Took a club that I really really loved, and improved it. Wild.

These look so similar to my buddies Aerojet 5W and I really like having a swing of that club, he has the Kai'li Dark Waves 70X in it. For whatever reason I am able to get that club moving left easier than almost anything I've ever hit.
Right now if I'm buying a 5W its either OPTM X/Max, Quantum Max or Apex UW.
Hit the X 5W today. Had the heavy weight back. It was really damn good!
Just a getting to know you session. Fitting wise would have liked the 70X shaft instead of 60X. Heavy weight also probably needs to go forward.
All shots hit off the deck with CTX ball. Trackman IO was being weird today and missed some club head data or gave weird readings. I don't believe those 2 shots with lower BS and low spin.

Also hit the 4h while in the bay. Stock KBS was all they had. Looks great behind the ball and easy to hit. Spins a bit much and goes to the moon. Gapping works out good with the 5W and FF33 can easily fine tune things. Kinda think I'd turn the 5W down to 17 and this to 20.
Disregard any club data. IO was jacked up at this point. Ball data seems accurate.

I don’t think I’ll hit it that far, but I’m definitely looking forward to having a 7w so I can elevate the ball enough to land soft enough to hold a green on a par 5 approach, or long par 3or4.

Have you considered and/or hit the LS fairway woods? I'm curious how they compare to the X. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to hit the woods some more this weekend.

I can move a 7w a little bit. Hahahaha
