Aerojet is the newest line of drivers, metals and hybrids from Cobra Golf. The company today unveiled the Aerojet family, highlighted by three drivers it says builds on the design and performance attributes of the previous LTDx lineup and debuts a new aerodynamic shape in the three models – the Aerojet LS, Aerojet and Aerojet Maxto deliver faster clubhead speed and ball speed. Each driver will be available at retail on Feb.9.
Each driver and fairway, Cobra VP of Marketing Jose Miraflor says, the features PWR-BRIDGE Weighting Technology – Cobra Golf’s first suspended weight design. The new technology, according to Miraflor, utilizes an internal bridge structure that is elevated above the sole to achieve a low, forward CG.
PWR-BRIDGE Weighting is a 13 gram structure that is suspended above the sole – like a bridge – , to position the center of gravity (CG) forward for maximum speed and low for reduced spin, while enabling a more flexible sole structure for improved energy transfer. The elevated PWR-BRIDGE design, Miraflor says, was critical to make room for the PWRSHELL Face Insert, which debuts for the first time in a Cobra driver, delivering a larger Sweet Zone for faster ball speed across the face.
In conjunction with the PWRSHELL, the insert features a new H.O.T Face variable thickness pattern. H.O.T. FACE (Highly Optimized Topology) was designed using artificial intelligence and features multiple zones with optimized thicknesses and shaping to deliver more efficient speed and spin across the entire clubface. A thin ply carbon fiber structure, which is 30 percent thinner than normal carbon fiber, is utilized in a raw finish in the crown and sole, resulting in what Miraflor calls “freed up discretionary weight’’ to be positioned lower in the clubhead, effectively lowering the CG location (to near zero) for improved launch and spin characteristics.
The Aerojet LS ($549), Miraflor says, offers an aggressive aerodynamic shape and a refined address profile designed for skilled players that demand low launch and low spin for maximum workability and control. For added tuning, two weight ports in the sole (with 12g and 3g weights) are positioned forward in the heel and toe to help dial in a neutral to fade-biased trajectory for the better players.
The standard Aerojet ($549) is designed to appeal to the widest spectrum of players and features aerodynamic shaping for faster club speed with one weight port in the rear of the sole, providing a neutral shot shape and an impressive combination of forgiveness and speed for maximum distance.
The Aerojet Max ($549) blends aero shaping with maximum stability and optional draw bias, allowing players to tune trajectory using adjustable weight ports in the rear and heel of the sole. By placing the 12g weight in the rear and the 3g weight in the heel, Miraflor says the player experiences super stable high trajectory with a small draw bias.
When the heavier 12g weight is placed in the heel position, performance becomes exceptionally draw biased with good stability for forgiveness.
