DriversCobra OPTM Driver (OPTM X and others)Specs and who it suits
Updated: Sep 12, 2026Contains affiliate links
A Cobra driver whose headline feature is 33 loft and lie settings within ±2°. As a gear nerd, I'd point out that a club with this much adjustment range becomes a different club depending on how you first set it up. The OPTM X is ¥93,400 at the Japan official store, on the low side for a new release from the big four brands. Its weakness is the lack of information: release date, loft options and head volume couldn't be confirmed officially, and on Rakuten I found only grey imports.

Who it doesn't suit
Golfers who want plenty of chances to try clubs in Japan. There may be fewer stockists than for the other three brands.
Check before you buy
Stockists and chances to try one. You can't judge an adjustable hosel's value without actually adjusting it.
If a test shot or two feels long, that may just be the good end of your normal spread. Hit 10 balls with the same club and your distances will vary by 20 yards or more. So hit 10 and look at both the average and the spread.
FAQ (drivers)
When is the cheapest time to buy a 2026 model?
New clubs are priciest right after launch and drop around the time the next model is announced. On the used market, last year's model starts to drop right after the new one is announced.
Is the latest model worth it if my head speed is slow?
Ball-speed-focused models are said to help most for golfers without fast head speed. Still, hitting 10 balls to check is the surest way.
Is last year's model worth buying?
If the performance gap is small enough to get lost in your spread, it's a sensible choice. Putting the savings toward practice does more for your score.
