See the screw in the rear of the clubhead in the photo above? That's the swingweight screw. There are three swingweight screws weighted to match up with the X, F or M Diamana Red Board shafts that come stock (there are 30 custom shaft options).

And the Cobra L5V Driver's hosel design allows golfers to adjust their driver from the standard factory setting (designated "0") to an increased draw-bias (designated "1").

To go from 0 to 1, the golfer uses the proprietary L5V torque wrench to adjust the weight in the "hosel screw port."

The King Cobra L5V Driver utilizes Cobra's "Speed Tuning" fitting to match the golfer's skills to proper loft and shaft. Available lofts are 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5 degrees. The stock grip is the Cobra Golf Pride New Decade 600R.

The Cobra L5V drivers began shipping Oct. 1, 2008, with an MSRP of $480. Visit cobragolf.com for more info. (next page)
