Cobra MyFly Hosel Settings: Complete Driver Adjustment Chart & Guide
The MyFly8 hosel on your Cobra driver gives you 8 settings per head with 0.5° loft increments and one draw setting. The table below shows every position for a 9° head. To change a setting, follow the step-by-step guide immediately after the table.
How to Adjust Your MyFly8 Hosel
Before you start – you need a torque wrench set to 35 in-lbs. A regular screwdriver will damage the hosel. If you don’t have one, stop here and buy a calibrated torque wrench.
- Loosen the screw – Insert the torque wrench and turn counter-clockwise until the screw is free but still in the hosel.
- Turn the hosel ring – Rotate the ring so the arrow points to your desired setting number. If the ring is stiff, check for dirt or debris; do not force it.
- Tighten to 35 in-lbs – Use the torque wrench and tighten clockwise. Stop as soon as the wrench clicks. Do not over-tighten.
Verification step – After tightening, hold the driver at address. The clubface should look square (the SmartPad sole ensures the crown sits flat). Hit a few balls and confirm ball flight matches the expected loft/draw behavior.
Branch: what if the setting ring won’t turn?
If the ring feels stuck, loosen the screw slightly more (the ring may be binding on the head). If it still won’t move, remove the screw completely, lift the head off the shaft, and inspect the hosel sleeve for debris. Clean with a dry cloth and reassemble. If the sleeve is cracked or misshapen, stop – do not force it.
Stop / escalate threshold
If you cannot achieve a smooth 35 in-lbs click (the screw suddenly spins freely or never clicks), the threads may be stripped. Stop using the club and contact Cobra customer support. Continuing can damage the head permanently.
Common failure mode
Symptom: the screw feels tight but the driver head wobbles at address. Likely cause: the hosel ring was not fully engaged in the correct notch. The correct fix: loosen the screw, rotate the ring until you feel a positive click into position, then re-tighten. Never play the club with a loose head – it can crack the hosel.
Specs/Reference Table
Settings for a 9° head. For other head lofts, subtract 2° from the marked loft to get the lowest setting and add 1° to get the highest neutral setting (e.g., a 10.5° head ranges from 8.5° to 11.5°). The draw setting always matches the highest loft but with a closed face.
| Setting | Loft (9° head) | Face Angle | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7.0° | Neutral | Lowest launch |
| 2 | 7.5° | Neutral | – |
| 3 | 8.0° | Neutral | – |
| 4 | 8.5° | Neutral | – |
| 5 | 9.0° | Neutral | Standard setting |
| 6 | 9.5° | Neutral | – |
| 7 | 10.0° | Neutral | Highest neutral loft |
| 8 | 10.0° | Closed (Draw) | Same loft as #7, closed face promotes draw |
Compatible with Cobra LTDx, Aerojet, and Darkspeed series. Not backward-compatible with older heads (F9, Speedzone).
Torque – Non-negotiable: 35 in-lbs. Using a hand-tightened screw or a different torque setting voids the warranty and can damage the head.
SmartPad sole technology – The sole is designed to keep the face angle square at address regardless of which setting you choose. This means you don’t need to re-sole the club or adjust your setup when switching between loft positions.
Loft range calculation – Each head model has a total adjustment window of 3°. A 9° head adjusts from 7° to 10° in 0.5° steps. A 12° head adjusts from 10° to 13°. The draw setting sits at the top end of that range with a closed face instead of neutral.
Key Takeaways
- 8 settings per head – 7 neutral loft positions in 0.5° steps plus 1 draw setting (closed face, same loft as the highest neutral).
- Loft range – 3° total: from 2° below the head’s marked loft up to 1° above.
- Draw setting – Adds loft and closes the face; use to reduce a slice or promote a controlled draw. No fade setting is available.
- SmartPad sole – The clubface sits square at address regardless of setting. No need to re-sole the club.
- Torque wrench required – Only a calibrated wrench at 35 in-lbs. Hand-tightening or over-tightening will strip threads.
- Check torque before every round – Vibrations can loosen the screw, especially if you frequently change settings.
- No lie angle adjustment – The MyFly8 changes loft and face angle only. Lie angle stays fixed due to the SmartPad design.
FAQ
How do I change the setting on my Cobra MyFly8 driver?
Loosen the screw with a torque wrench, turn the hosel ring to align the arrow with the desired setting number, then tighten to 35 in-lbs. Confirm the ring is fully seated and the head does not wobble.
Does changing the loft affect the lie angle?
No – the MyFly8 adjusts loft and face angle only. The SmartPad sole keeps the lie angle consistent at address.
Can I use a MyFly8 hosel on an older Cobra driver?
No – the MyFly8 is designed for LTDx, Aerojet, and Darkspeed heads only. Older series (F9, Speedzone) use a different hosel system.
What does the “Draw” setting do compared to the neutral setting at the same loft?
The draw setting closes the face by approximately 1.5° while keeping the same loft. This reduces the effective slice angle and promotes a right-to-left ball flight (for right-handed golfers).
Is there a fade setting?
No – only neutral and draw positions. For a fade, open the clubface at address or adjust your swing path.
How often should I re-tighten the screw?
Check torque before every round, especially after a setting change. If the screw ever feels loose during play, stop and re-tighten to 35 in-lbs.
What should I do if the torque wrench clicks early or never clicks?
The screw may be cross-threaded or stripped. Do not force it. Remove the screw, inspect threads, and if damaged, contact Cobra support. Continuing to use a stripped hosel can break the head.
Which setting should I use if I slice the ball?
Start with the Draw setting (setting 8 on a 9° head). The closed face helps square the clubface at impact. If that feels too aggressive, try one step higher in loft (setting 7) with a neutral face and focus on swing path.
