CARLSBAD, Calif. – Inspired by Arnold Palmer’s taste, style and performance, COBRA GOLF announced today the release of the limited-edition Arnold Palmer OPTM X Driver. The club design reflects Palmer’s storied career on and off the golf course, powered by the cutting-edge performance golfers demand.
The limited-edition COBRA GOLF x Arnold Palmer OPTM X driver ($699) features a deep navy finish with gold umbrella accents that fit The King’s unmistakable style and swagger. The X model features a more traditional head shape that delivers the perfect blend of speed, accuracy and forgiveness, resulting in a club that performs on course while still projecting Palmer’s effortless style.
Like the standard OPTM X driver, the LE version features impressive technologies including POI (Product of Inertia) Shaping, Adaptive POI Weighting, H.O.T. Face and FUTUREFIT33™. The groundbreaking new low POI design of the OPTM X driver, which is delivered via both improved shaping and adaptive weighting, works with Cobra’s other metalwood technologies to reduce shot dispersion by up to 23 percent. Unlike MOI (moment of inertia), which is a measure of how resistant a clubhead is to twist on off-center hits on the vertical and horizonal axes, POI measures how a clubhead rotates diagonally across all axes at once. For that reason, a high MOI is desired to correct off-center hits while a low POI is desired to deliver more accurate shots that don’t create as much gear effect. The result is tighter dispersion down range.
The new limited-edition driver also features COBRA’s game changing FUTUREFIT33 ADJUSTABLE HOSEL SYSTEM, which is the most significant and innovative metalwood fitting technology to date. The system allows for 33 unique loft and lie settings that can be adjusted independently, unlocking an unprecedented number of fitting options.
The limited-edition COBRA GOLF x Arnold Palmer driver will be available online and at select retailers beginning March 2. The limited-edition OPTM X driver comes in 10.5-degrees in RH with limited-edition headcover and Mitsubishi 1K Tensei Blue shaft.
