Carlsbad, CA (May 15, 2006) – Cobra Golf brings the science of putting to a whole new level with the introduction of the new Optica SL putter, the first putter using Fiber Optic Technology to help golfers align putts with a new level of confidence and precision.
The key to the Optica’s superior alignment lies in the exclusive TRUGLO® Fiber Optic sight line that ensures your putts are always on target. TRUGLO sights are the brightest aiming points in the industry, enabling greater sight contrast for more accurate alignment.
"Following in the footsteps of our highly successful Speed Series drivers and fairways, the Optica SL utilizes cutting edge sight line technology to distinguish it from the competition," said Jeff Harmet, President of Cobra Golf. "We’ve addressed and improved every aspect of putter design and performance so that, coupled with TRUGLO’s fiber optic technology, golfers can line up and knock down more putts from anywhere on the green."
The Optica putter employs the latest materials and technology to optimize not only alignment, but every aspect of a putter’s design, including forgiveness, feel and roll.
