Both are their maker's most forgiving driver head, left- or right-handed, senior to extra stiff, in 9°, 10.5° or 12°. The Qi4D Max adjusts more: two moveable weights and a loft sleeve, with a carbon face curved to keep heel and toe strikes nearer the line. The OPTM MAX-K fixes an 11-gram weight low and back for Cobra's highest MOI, and its hosel changes loft up to two degrees either way.
