GolfWRX Launch Report: 2023 Cobra AeroJet drivers, fairway woods, hybrids
What you need to know: Building on the LTDx platform, Cobra’s new AeroJet family of drivers includes three models: AeroJet LS, AeroJet, and AeroJet Max. An elevated, internal bridge structure (PWR-Bridge Weighting) in the sole of the club is the centerpiece technology of the line, which places CG low and forward.
2023 Cobra AeroJet drivers: What’s new, key technology
Advanced Aerodynamic Shaping: Producing 1.5 mph more clubhead speed in robot testing compared to the LTD line, AeroJet drivers feature progressive aerodynamic shaping and unique weighting configurations for maximum clubhead speed and precise mass configuration.
PWR-Bridge Weighting: Suspended in the sole of the club like a bridge, the 13-gram PWR-Bridge positions CG low and forward for spin reduction and a flexible sole for enhanced energy transfer.
PWRSHELL Face Insert: This technology, debuting for the first time in a Cobra driver, produces a larger sweet spot.
H.O.T. Face (Highly Optimized Topology): An A.I. designed variable thickness face produces more efficient spin and speed across the clubface.
Thin-ply carbon fiber raw finish…in the club’s crown and sole is 30 percent thinner than “normal carbon fiber,” according to the company, contributing to lower CG and more discretionary mass for engineers to dial in launch and spin.

Additional model details
AeroJet LS
- Low launch, low spin
- Neutral to fade-biased
- Smaller profile at address
- 2 weight ports in the sole (with 12g and 3g weights) are positioned forward in the heel and toe
AeroJet
- 12-gram fixed back weight for higher launch, MOI
- Higher launching than the LS while still being low spinning
- Neutral shot shape
AeroJet Max
- Maximum stability with an optional draw bias
- Placing the 12-gram weight in the rear, 3 gram in the heel = stability with a small draw bias
- Placing 12-gram weight in the heel = more substantial draw bias
What Cobra says
“The aerodynamic package in the new AeroJet family of drivers is our most advanced to date,” said Mike Yagley, Vice President of Innovation, COBRA Golf. “We continue to balance the aggressive streamlining with optimum mass and resilience properties to give players maximum club head speed and ball launch characteristics for increased distance.”

Getting pricey compared to where they have been, which was one of Cobra’s biggest advantages.
