Who It’s For: Golfers looking for an aerodynamic driver to help create more clubhead speed.
The Skinny: By modifying the shape of the head, Cobra is helping golfers swing faster, while an updated hitting area protects ball speed on mis-hit shots more efficiently and moveable weights in the sole generate shot-shaping biases.
The Deep Dive: There was a time when Cobra drivers may have been known more for their bold cosmetics than for their performance. Remember the AMP Cell drivers from back in 2013, which were offered in orange, blue, red and silver models? But the Carlsbad, California-based company has done a lot of performance innovation as well, including milled driver faces, unique weight systems and the aggressive utilization of carbon fiber and aerodynamic shaping.
The new Cobra Aerojet, Aerojet LS and Aerojet Max drivers do not come in every color on the rainbow, but they continue Cobra’s push to help golfers swing faster, create more ball speed and develop the shot shape their desire. They are for different types of golfers but share many technologies and features.
