OPTM Max-K

Independent robot testing measured the tightest yards-from-centre of the test group at 17.37yd, an 81.1% playable rate, and 9.4/10 overall. Industry-awards testing recognized the head with a perfect-score Gold Medal and an "Extreme" MOI rating — top-10 MOI overall this year. Combined 3-axis MOI ~13,000 g·cm² (X+Y ~10,100 g·cm²) — the highest MOI of any Cobra driver ever, with reviewer-confirmed resistance to twisting on toe and heel strikes palpable in hand.

Robot testing measured strong upper-face carry (high-centre 225.3yd, high-toe 208.5yd) but the lower half sagged — low-heel at 194.8yd was the lowest single-zone reading in the entire dataset, with 26.6yd bleeding from mid-centre to low-heel. Peak ball speeds under 151mph, roughly 1mph behind the X stablemate. Reviewer testing measured 246yd average carry at ~3,500rpm, ~10yd shorter than the LS. Spin hit 2,302rpm — the lowest reading in the test, more than 30% below the predecessor Darkspeed Max.

The head is engineered neutral rather than workable. Fixed 11g back weight pinned low-and-deep maximises MOI but provides no shape-tuning hardware — the head ships in a single bias and resists shaping either way. Reviewer testing noted impact feedback is uniform across the face — excellent for forgiveness but reduces tactile cues for working the ball. An oversized GI-targeted footprint that allows a gentle move but rewards swinging straight.

Impact reads solid, firm, and balanced — a touch softer than the X stablemate. The deep MOI footprint produces stable impact response with no dead spots; the forged face transmits useful feedback at centre while dampening harshness on misses. A deliberately consistent profile across the face that reads premium.

Acoustic profile reads tight, slightly muted, and a touch lower-pitched than the X stablemate — but still confidence-inspiring at impact. Sound holds up consistently across the face, which is by-design — the uniform acoustic supports off-centre stability but reduces auditory differentiation between centre and mis-hit strikes. Tour-correct rather than tinny.

Address profile reads as the largest footprint of the OPTM family with a broad shape, deep rear skirt, and clean alignment — sized for confidence without becoming bloated. Industry-awards panel testers (HCP 10) described the slightly oversized appearance as producing "oversized confidence strike after strike." Bigger than the X or LS stablemates but visibly less closed than the Max-D.
