Cobra who have a difficult year with its drivers have now followed Nike by using a STR fit system. The new Cobra L5V driver is adjustable upto one degree in both directions. I remember in the 1970s when Faldo was disqualified in the Zambian open because he has a plaster on top of his putter, to stop the glare of the sun. It was deemed that he had the possibilty to change the playing characteristics of the putter. Now the times have really changed, the possibility to change the Cobra L5V is a little limited when one compares the driver with the Nike Dymo or to a Taylormade driver that will be introduced in April (The name is not yet known) both of the drivers have the possibility to be adjusted into 8 different posiitions.
Cobra claim that the L5V driver is longer and straighter as before and uses a multi material and here is a copy of the user instructions

The new King Cobra L5V Driver utilizes an exclusive hosel sleeve with two built-in face settings:
Standard (0) and Increased Draw-Bias (1). Each driver is factory set in the Standard (0 - pointing
towards target) position.
This technology allows you to adjust between a Standard and Increased Draw-Bias ball flight
by following these simple steps:
1 Securely hold the clubhead in one hand, and the
Cobra torque wrench in the opposite hand.
2 Loosen the shaft by inserting the wrench bit into the hosel
screw from the soleplate and rotating counterclockwise until
the shaft can be removed.
Note: Insert torque wrench directly into the hosel screw to avoid damaging
the screw head. It is not necessary to completely remove the hosel screw to
rotate the shaft. Simply loosen the screw enough to clear the hosel sleeve
keyed features.
3 Turn the shaft 180˚ and insert back into the
clubhead. The markings on the hosel sleeve indicate
the face setting:
‘0’ facing target – Standard Face Setting
‘1’ facing target – Increased Draw-Bias Face Setting
4 Tighten the screw by inserting the wrench bit into
the hosel screw and rotating clockwise until the torque
wrench clicks once. The audible click ensures that the screw
has been installed correctly. Do not over or under tighten the
hosel screw.
Note: If the torque wrench does not click, your L5V clubhead is not properly
tightened and may not perform as designed.
The new King Cobra L5V Driver offers the ability to easily interchange the factory installed shaft with
any available* customized shaft. Follow these steps to customize your new King Cobra L5V Driver:
a Securely hold the clubhead in one hand and the Cobra torque
wrench in the opposite hand. Note which number on the hosel sleeve
is facing forward, 0 or 1. Be sure to install your new shaft in the
same orientation.
b Loosen the clubhead by inserting the wrench bit into the hosel
screw and rotating counterclockwise until the shaft can be removed.
c Install the customized replacement shaft in the desired face angle
setting (see Step 3 of “To Adjust Face Setting”).
d Tighten the hosel screw by inserting the wrench bit into the
hosel screw and rotating clockwise until the torque wrench clicks
once. The audible click ensures that the screw has been installed
correctly. Do not over or under tighten the hosel screw.
a Securely hold the clubhead in one hand and the Cobra torque
wrench in the opposite hand.
b Loosen the swingweight screw by inserting the wrench bit into
the swingweight screw and rotating counterclockwise until the
screw can be loosened by hand.
c Install the new swingweight screw by aligning the threads
of the screw with the threads of the L5V clubhead.
d Tighten the swingweight screw by inserting the wrench bit into
the head and rotating clockwise until the torque wrench clicks
once. The audible click ensures that the screw has been installed
correctly. Do not over or under tighten the hosel screw.
Note: Do not attempt to clean or remove the red substance off of the hosel and
swingweight screw threads. Doing so may cause the screws to loosen over time.

IMPORTANT
* In order to utilize your custom L5V shaft, it must be factory fitted with an L5V hosel adapter sleeve. Never
use your L5V driver without a Cobra hosel adapter sleeve installed. You must purchase the customized shaft
at a local Cobra dealer.
** To achieve the proper swingweight, it is extremely important that the corresponding swingweight screw be
installed which was provided with your driver shaft.
(1) The King Cobra L5V Driver fully conforms to the Rules of Golf approved by the USGA and R&A. According
to The Rules of Golf, Rule 4-2a, neither the swingweight screw, nor the face setting may be adjusted during a
round of golf: “During a stipulated round, the playing characteristics of a club must not be purposely changed
by adjustment or by any other means.”
(2) Do not attempt to loosen or tighten the hosel screw and/or the swingweight screw with any tool other than
the Cobra Torque Wrench. Doing so may cause damage to the screw heads. Improper installation of the hosel
screw or the swingweight screw could potentially cause harm. (3) Carefully inspect the hosel and swingweight
screws prior to each round of golf, or practice session to ensure that they are secured to the clubhead. Failure
to do so may: (a) Cause the screws to rattle loose during the course of use, in turn causing the club to become
nonconforming according to Appendix II, 4a of “The Rules of Golf.” (b) Allow foreign materials into the screw
threads, causing harm to the screw housings. (4) Do not attempt to clean or remove the red substance off of
the hosel and swingweight screw threads. Doing so may cause the screws to rattle loose over time. (5) Do not
substitute non-Cobra components for any of those provided (including heads, shafts or coupling nuts) or use
Cobra components of other manufacturers.
