Confirmed via Into The Grain's King F8+ driver article (intothegrain.com/cobra-king-f8-driver/): 'The adjustable hosel has eight loft settings to fine-tune launch and spin' and 'The Smart Pad ensures that the driver sits square at address in every setting,' both stated for the F8+ specifically. Cross-checked against Golf Storage Guide's Cobra F8 adjustment guide (golfstorageguide.com/cobra-f8-driver-adjustment-guide/), which lists the F8+'s own eight loft settings separately from the F8's own settings.
