Not only is the suspended weight design fashioned after a Leonardo da Vinci concept from more than 500 years ago, but it’s on the inside of the clubhead. “The marketing guys would love for all the cool stuff to be on the outside,” Yagley said as he held a yet-to-be assembled driver head at the recent PGA Merchandise Show. For Yagley and the innovation team at Cobra, the internal bridge structure they created for the Aerojet line proved to be a great way to suspend mass without having it touch the sole of the clubhead. While well-known as one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance, da Vinci was also a engineer, scientist and architect; one of his most famous inventions of the late 1400’s being the … [Read more...] about Cobra Golf’s New Drivers Incorporate Leonardo Da Vinci Invention From Over 500 Years Ago
