About this episode

This episode features a detailed review and comparison of the Cobra OPTM X and OPTM Max K drivers, along with insights on prototype gear from the US Open.

On this week's episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we deliver an in-depth review and head-to-head comparison of the new Cobra OPTM X and Cobra OPTM Max K drivers. We analyze the launch monitor data, spin profiles, and forgiveness levels of both heads to help you decide between the low-spin workability of the X model and the high-MOI stability of the Max K.Next, we take you inside the ropes at the US Open to break down the most exciting prototype gear in professional golf. Our equipment analysis covers Bryson DeChambeau’s mysterious new TaylorMade prototype driver, Taihei Sato’s custom Scotty Cameron putter setup, and Filippo Celli’s unreleased Callaway prototype 3-iron. We wrap up the show in the workshop with a step-by-step guide on how to build a custom set of junior clubs, sharing practical tips on sourcing components, cutting shafts, and managing swing weight for my daughter's new setup.Follow Club Junkie:Instagram: @clubjunkiepodTikTok: @clubjunkiepodThreads: @clubjunkiepodX: @ClubJunkiePod
