Rickie Fowler's influence on Cobra-Puma Golf is undeniable. While rumors swirl that Fowler is joining Cobra's Tour staff, nothing official has been released yet. However, Puma's apparel line is already awash with Fowler's favorite colors, and now even the accent colors on Cobra's latest clubs are getting the Rickie treatment. But if you look past the orange highlights on the new AMP (Advanced Material Placement) driver, you'll see an innovative approach to customization. Instead of an adjustable weight system, Cobra has manufactured the drivers with the weight and center of gravity in different locations for each loft. Cobra Golf Cobra AMP Driver "It's all about moving weight inside the head, strategically, to position the center of gravity very precisely,” says Tom Preece, Cobra Golf's vice president of research and development . “So it's really about pre-customizing the driver based on a player’s clubhead speed." Like last season's S3 drivers, the sweet spot of the AMP drivers does not make a circular pattern around the middle of the face. Instead, it's elliptical, moving from the low heel to the high toe area because that's where Cobra's researchers found that golfers mis-hit drives most often. "We've actually maximized ball speeds for shots that miss the center of the club face in this elliptical pattern," says Preece. Using a torque wrench, the AMP’s face angle can be adjusted to one of three positions: neutral, two degrees closed or two degrees open. Cobra is also offering a draw version that has a built-in offset. According to Cobra, the face on the draw version should close more easily on your downswing to diminish slices. Both AMP drivers, which should start arriving in pro shops around Feb. 15, will come standard with an Aldila RIP Speed Tuned shaft and should cost about $299.
