Verdict

The Cobra OPTM LS and Cobra OPTM X sit in different categories. The OPTM LS is a tour fairway wood tagged Low Spin. It comes only as a 16° 3W or a 17° 4W, with one stock shaft, the Mitsubishi Diamana D 60 in stiff. The OPTM X is a players distance fairway wood tagged High Launch, and it covers more of the bag with five lofts from a 15° 3W through 16.5°, 18°, 21° and a 24° 9W. It lists two stock shafts, the Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 in stiff and the Ventus Blue 5 in regular. A golfer who wants a single tight-window 3-wood to hold spin down is the natural OPTM LS buyer. A golfer who wants launch help, a regular flex option, or a matching 7W or 9W has only one choice, and it is the OPTM X.

For most golfers the OPTM X is the pick. It is $20 cheaper at $330 MSRP against $350, it comes in more lofts, and its High Launch tag points toward easier height and more forgiveness. Choose the OPTM LS only if spin control is your priority and you already generate plenty of launch, because that is the one job it is built around. If price, forgiveness or flexibility weighs heavier, the OPTM X wins.
