Full details
This Cobra OPTM MAX Fairway wood is designed for adult male golfers seeking to combat a slice. Its key benefit is improved draw-bias through strategic weight placement, helping to align the clubface faster for a straighter ball flight.

FAQs
Is this club suitable for beginners?
This club is designed for golfers specifically looking to correct a slice. While it aids in launching the ball, its primary focus is on draw bias. Beginners might benefit from a more forgiving all-around fairway wood, but it can be effective for a beginner struggling with a slice.
What does 'OPTM MAX' mean?
'OPTM MAX' refers to the technology and design philosophy behind this line of clubs, focusing on optimizing performance characteristics such as launch and forgiveness.
Can this club be used from the tee box?
Yes, fairway woods are commonly used from the tee box, especially on shorter par-4s or when accuracy is prioritized over maximum distance. This model is suitable for tee shots.
What is the loft of the 3-wood in this model?
The specific loft for the 3-wood is not provided in the product description, but a standard 3-wood typically has a loft between 15-17 degrees.
How does the weight placement help with a slice?
By placing weight closer to the hosel (the part of the clubhead connected to the shaft), the club's center of gravity is shifted. This encourages the clubface to close more quickly through impact, helping to turn a slice (a ball that curves right) into a straighter shot or a draw (a ball that curves left).
Is there a right-handed version of this club?
Yes, Cobra typically offers fairway woods in both left-handed and right-handed versions. This specific guide focuses on the left-handed model.
Troubleshooting
Club feels heavier than expected
The weight distribution is intentional to promote draw bias. If it feels unmanageable, ensure you are using the correct grip and swing mechanics for a fairway wood.
Ball flight is still slicing
While designed to counteract slices, swing mechanics play a significant role. Ensure your swing path is not excessively outside-to-in. Consult a golf professional for swing analysis.
Difficulty getting the ball airborne
Ensure you are making solid contact with the ball positioned slightly forward in your stance. The club is designed for easier launch, but proper setup is still key.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Helps correct slices for straighter shots.
- Designed for easier launch and higher ball flight.
- Promotes faster clubface squaring at impact.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This fairway wood comes pre-assembled and is ready for use upon arrival. Ensure the club is gripped correctly for a left-handed swing.
Compatibility:
This club is designed for adult golfers, specifically left-handed players. The 'Regular Flex' shaft is typically suited for golfers with moderate swing speeds. The '3 Wood' designation indicates its loft and intended use for longer shots from the tee or fairway.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the clubface and sole with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grass. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads, as they can scratch the finish.
- Storage: Store the club in your golf bag away from extreme temperatures or moisture. Use a club headcover to protect the clubhead from dents and scratches when not in use.
- Shaft Care: Inspect the shaft regularly for any signs of damage. Do not use excessive force when practicing or playing, as this could lead to shaft breakage.
