This week is the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Cobra is honoring The King with a limited edition OPTM X driver featuring a dark navy color with golf umbrella accents tying to the King’s long-time logo.
Cobra describes the POI measurement as an alternative to MOI looking at the resistance of the head to twisting on off center impacts measured along the vertical and horizontal directions. POI measurement tells engineers how the clubhead moves diagonally across multiple axis at the same time.
This means a high MOI helps correct off-center hits and a low POI will produce more accurate drives with the clubhead having less gear effect and producing tighter dispersion down the fairway.
