I just did this with my ping G410. It's already a low spinning club so I increased the loft to the max and put the weight in the draw setting. Ball flight going much straighter instantly. Thanks for the tip 👍🏼
The problem with Cobra, TM, and a few other companies methods of adjustability the shaft and grip rotates. Callaway’s version is much better as the shaft position doesn’t change so you don’t need to regrip your club
Hi. I have a Cobra driver. My Q is.....!.....What is the lowest loft/degree adaptors can be set to. Believe me!....I need a 5° loft. Yes five degrees. Lets not argue. Bryson de C use a 5.5°......probably custom built by Cobra. If you didnt know.....The late Calvin Pete who held driving accuracy nr.1 spot for 10yrs used a 4degree driver. I naturally hitball high. So I loose a lot of distance as result. Higher equals wider.....fact! Lower is staighter!
Higher loft hits it straighter. More backspin, less sidespin. Lower is not straighter. 5 degree would be a challenge. If you still want that low a loft you might find a Krank brand driver. I have a friend who plays it at 7 degrees. Good luck with that.
The draw setting changes lie by ??? Degrees? Same Q to the loft increase/ decrease - how many deg open/ closed is the face? I have not seen a chart like Taylormade publishes about the hosel adjustments
I think it's all BS... you can't change the loft by rotating the head. You change the loft by tilting the head only and the shaft has no ability to TILT the head.
So the grip, when adjusting the hosel, turns my grip all the way under, so do i not pay attention to the grip, and just grip the shaft where the head is laying correct?
I have a right hand cobra adaptor on my left hand speedzone head. If i want to lower the loft with -1.5 , should i actually set the hozzle to +1.5 because it is a right hand adaptor?
Nicely presented. Any chance you can do an advanced user edition where you use a left hand adapter in a right hand head? I bought and sold both an F7 fairway and F8+ fairway purely because to my eye it sat with a closed face. I don't want a 13.5 degree lofted 3 wood it's too unfriendly to use but this it what I am left with when I square to open the face with a RH adaptor. I want the adaptor installed in the correct setting for me and then have the shaft and grip installed straight. With the Callaway adaptor the shaft graphics and grip logo remain in place (underside) whereas with the Cobra the shaft graphics are annoyingly skee whiff on a distracting angle to the Player (me)
@@2ndswing great thanks! After selling on the f7 and f8+ fairways I went to a cobra demo day and tried out the f9 fairway. Loved it but didn't buy it because to me it sat closed...😥 love the rails. Would love a 14.5 or 15 degree cobra fairway with rails that doesn't sit closed. It can be done I've heard would be great if you could demonstrate. Cheers
@@danthemanwhocancan Hi Dan thanks for your question. When using a left hand adapter in the right head the loft setting adjustments will be the opposite. For example if you have the hosel set at +1.0* the actual result is -1.0*. If you have the driver on the STD setting the loft does not change. Hope this helps!
Wondering about your statement around less loft = opening the club face. Everything I've read is that less loft promotes draw and increased loft promotes fade.
More loft with a driver will be easier to draw than less loft with the driver. Here is one our videos if you are interested in this topic further: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sVZCXWPxZvQ.html - Thomas
@@2ndswing thanks for getting back to me. That almost never happens on RU-vid. Thanks for the link - good videos. As such, you have another subscriber 👍🏻
That's too low a loft for a beginner. I'm a 13 handicap and I adjust to either 10.5 or 12 degrees. I would start with the higher lofts and if you can hit it straight with enough carry, then maybe go down. I doubt a fitter would put you at 9 degrees. Hope this helps. I play the Cobra F9. Great driver. If you haven't bought anything yet an older Cobra Fly-Z driver would be a good start too. Or an F8.
Hi There, How would this work for a left handed club? I have been advised to adjust my 9 degree driver to 10.5 degree draw setting - what setting do I need? Any advice is much appreciated
You wouldn't be able to get the 9 degree head to a 10.5 Draw setting. You could do a 10.5 setting or a 10 draw setting with that head. Assuming the adapter tip on your shaft is a left handed tip, the adjustments would be the same as in the video.
Hi Michael thanks for watching. The lie angle of the driver is at the STD lie when the loft is at STD loft. Once the hosel is adjusted you are modifying lie and loft. For example when flipping the hosel to the back side (draw setting) the hosel has been moved more upright. The driver head has not moved but the hosel has moved. This is why it is important to fit to the correct loft on the driver head first and then make adjustments for left or right tendencies
Hi Brandon. If you bought the driver used from 2nd Swing, it will not come with a headcover or a wrench because most people do not include those items when trading in clubs. We do have some Cobra wrenches available for just a few dollars: www.2ndswing.com/cobra/wrenches/all/
Hey guys, I have this driver but continually slice right, did not have this issue with previous drivers, I love the feel of this driver but not sure how to adjust it properly, any recommendations on adjustments to counter this?
Josh, the two changes that you can make to encourage more left bias with the Cobra hosel would be to add loft and to utilize one of the draw settings, which will create a more upright lie angle. Try the draw setting at the driver's stated loft first and see what kind of influence that has and if you're still looking to see more of a right-to-left bias then try going up one degree in loft but still in the draw setting. Hope that helps. Thanks.
So I moved the heavier weight to the back and the lighter one to the front, set to +1 draw and they are going nice and straight now. Thanks for the tip!
I don't get it... I don't see how turning the head changes the loft? All the grooves look equal so you are just rotating the head. !??!?! YOu can't change the loft by rotating the head you have to TILT the head to change loft. This system can't do anything.
