Who It’s For: Golfers looking for more ball speed and distance off the tee and from the fairway.

The Skinny: Designed to match the Aerojet drivers, the Aerojet fairway woods have an internal weight to optimize the center of gravity location for increased ball speed, lower spin rates and more distance.

The Deep Dive: During the development of the Cobra Aerojet drivers, the brand’s designers focused on improving aerodynamics and making the clubs faster through the air. When it came to creating matching fairway woods, in some ways, the job was easier. Fairway woods are significantly smaller than drivers, so they are inherently more aerodynamic. However, adding some of the technologies that went into the Aerojet drivers made the fairway woods perform better too.

The Cobra Aerojet, Aerojet LS and Aerojet Max each have been designed with a carbon fiber crown to reduce weight on the top and create discretionary weight that can be shifted to other areas to improve performance.

A significant portion of that weight has gone into an internal stainless-steel bar that connects the heel and toe areas behind the face. The extra mass in this location helps drive down the center of gravity location further while also helping to reduce spin and increase ball speed. Corba also claims the extra mass helps to stabilize the head and make it more resistant to twisting on off-center hits.

The PWRShell H.O.T. Face helps broaden the sweet spot and protect ball speed.

Each of the Aerojet fairway woods has a variable-thickness face that was developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence. The system divided the hitting area into 15 regions and then studied how making each thicker or thinner could improve overall performance. The result is an L-shaped face plate with bumps and ridges in different spots that flexes more efficiently, especially on thin shots.
