Enter your head's stated loft, then pick a position to decode it, or pick a loft change to see which positions get you there.
| Position | Loft | Lie | Face angle | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -1.5 | -1.5° | std | square | Maximum lower-loft setting. |
| -1 | -1° | std | square | - |
| -1 DRAW | -1° | +2° | square | Draw-bias variant of the -1 loft setting: same loft, more upright lie for a draw tendency. The 2-degree lie effect of the draw setting comes from a Cobra engineer interview describing a predecessor MyFly hosel, not a MyFly8-specific published chart; Cobra's current MyFly8 SmartPad guide states no per-position lie values at all. |
| STDFactory | std | std | square | Factory ship setting: stated loft, standard lie, square face (SmartPad). |
| STD DRAW | std | +2° | square | Draw-bias variant of the standard loft setting: stated loft, more upright lie for a draw tendency. The 2-degree lie effect of the draw setting comes from a Cobra engineer interview describing a predecessor MyFly hosel, not a MyFly8-specific published chart; Cobra's current MyFly8 SmartPad guide states no per-position lie values at all. |
| +1 | +1° | std | square | - |
| +1 DRAW | +1° | +2° | square | Draw-bias variant of the +1 loft setting: same loft, more upright lie for a draw tendency. The 2-degree lie effect of the draw setting comes from a Cobra engineer interview describing a predecessor MyFly hosel, not a MyFly8-specific published chart; Cobra's current MyFly8 SmartPad guide states no per-position lie values at all. |

King F8 (2018) confirmed MyFly8 WITH SmartPad already at F8, not first at F9 as sometimes assumed. golfreviewguy.com's F8 review: "My Fly 8 with SmartPad-8 easily adjustable loft settings help you manage trajectory and fine-tune launch conditions to maximize distance while SmartPad keeps the face square." Corroborated independently by thehackersparadise.com/cobra-f8-driver-review ("The MyFly adapter with its loft window and the SmartPad blend seamlessly into the design") and Today's Golfer's F8 fairway coverage describing the F7-to-F8 line as retaining "the MyFly adjustable hosel and SmartPad design." Physical sleeve interchange with the registered F9-Darkspeed generation is corroborated by ShaftConnect selling ONE adapter sleeve product for "All King F6/F7/F8/F9 Models (Driver & Fairway)" (shaftconnect.com/product/cobra-king-f9-f8-f7-driver-fairway-adaptor-sleeve-lh/), and F9 also appears as the shared pivot model in vendor listings for the later RadSpeed/LTDx/Aerojet/Darkspeed grouping (e.g. adoregolfgrips.com, valuegolf.com), meaning F8's sleeve sits on the same physical lineage as the registered adapter.
