COBRA Golf introduced its new family of AEROJET Drivers, Fairways and Hybrids. The AEROJET
driver family builds on the impressive design and performance attributes of the previous LTDx lineup and debuts a bold new aerodynamic shape in all three models – the AEROJET LS , AEROJET , and AEROJET MAX to deliver faster clubhead speed and ball speed. Each driver and fairway features PWR-BRIDGE Weighting Technology, the company’s first ever suspended weight design. The new technology utilizes an internal bridge structure that is elevated above the sole to achieve a low, forward CG.
The Advanced Aerodynamic Shaping of the AEROJET drivers is the product of years of research and
testing with some of the fastest swings on the planet. When compared to a traditional driver, the AEROJET LS (which features the most aggressive aero shape of the three models), features a streamlined frontal area, raised aft and skirt, and a more curved crown with a peak that is moved as far from the face as possible. These design attributes contribute to a significant reduction in drag through the swing for increased clubhead speed and superior aerodynamic performance. When tested against the LTDx LS, the AEROJET LS driver produced up to 1.5mph more clubhead speed during robot testing, making these new designs the fastest and most aerodynamic COBRA drivers to date. The family of drivers uses progressive aerodynamic shaping and unique weighting configurations to produce the fastest clubhead speed possible, while achieving specific mass property targets for different golfers. The AEROJET LS
(“Low Spin”) driver features the most aggressive aerodynamic shape designed for players with faster swing speeds with forward adjustable heel and toe weights (12g & 3g) that tune a neutral to fade-biased ball flight. The AEROJE driver blends low spin performance with added stability and slightly higher launch than the LS model, using a fixed back weight (12g). While the AEROJET MAX delivers maximum forgiveness and trajectory height through an adjustable back and heel weight (12g & 3g) that can also be used to deliver adraw-bias when the weights are flipped.
New internal technologies include PWR-BRIDGE Weighting – a 13g structure that is suspended above the
sole like a bridge, to position the 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 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 (which stands for 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% thinner than normal carbon fiber is utilized in a RAW FINISH in both the CROWN & SOLE resulting in 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 drivers are available in three models aimed at optimizing performance for the full spectrum of players: (1) The AEROJET LS ($699.99) 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. (2) The standard AEROJET ($699.99) 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. (3) The AEROJET MAX ($699.99) 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, 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.
