Tour Driver

Cobra built the OPTM LS for players who have the swing speed to move the ball but keep watching it spin out and land short. It's a 460cc head, the full legal size, so you're not giving up footprint or visual confidence at address. What changes is the weight placement, positioned lower and forward to cut spin rather than maximize forgiveness.

The "LS" stands for low spin, and that's more than a name. Moving the center of gravity lower reduces spin while keeping launch angle up, and that's what actually produces distance rather than just ball speed. A lot of drivers optimize for one or the other. The OPTM LS is built around hitting both, and for players swinging 100-plus mph, it mostly delivers.

Adjustability is a real feature here. The hosel allows for roughly plus or minus 1.5 degrees of loft change, plus draw and fade bias positions. At a fitting, or when your swing shifts over a season, that range gives you room to stay optimized without swapping shafts or buying something new.

• Players with swing speeds above 100 mph who are losing distance to excessive spin.
• Ball strikers who want a full 460cc head without the high-spin weight setup of a game-improvement driver.
• Players working with a fitter who need hosel adjustability to fine-tune launch and spin conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What swing speed is the Cobra OPTM LS designed for?

It's most effective above 100 mph. Below that threshold, you may not generate enough speed to benefit from the reduced spin, and a standard-spin driver could actually give you better distance numbers.

How does the OPTM LS differ from the standard Cobra OPTM?

The standard OPTM prioritizes forgiveness across a wider range of swing speeds. The LS version repositions the internal weight to reduce spin, which helps faster swingers but can work against players who don't generate enough speed to need it.

Is the Cobra OPTM LS forgiving enough for a mid-handicapper?

The 460cc head gives you a decent margin on mishits, but the low-spin setup means off-center contact shows up in your distance numbers more than with a high-forgiveness driver. It's not punishing, but it won't mask a mishit the way a game-improvement model would.

What does the adjustable hosel on the OPTM LS do?

It allows roughly plus or minus 1.5 degrees of loft adjustment, plus draw and fade bias positions. Most players dial it in at a fitting and leave it there.

Does the Cobra OPTM LS have a draw bias option?

Yes, the adjustable hosel includes a draw bias position. You don't need a separate draw-bias model. If you want a permanent draw setup, a fitter can set it there and it stays put.
