Okay good to know. I have a bunch of extra cobra head weights as well as some lead tape so it sounds like the best option is just trial and error and seeing what feels the best.

I play a Cobra Darkspeed driver with a Ventus TR Blue 5S with the grip to adapter tip at 44 inches. I currently have a 12g weight in the back and a 3g weight in the front of the driver head. I have felt for a while that this club is too light and I want to increase the swing weight but I do not have a scale. I changed out my Ventus TR Blue 5S for a Ventus Velocore+ Blue 6S but now I want to increase some weight to the head. Cobra has additional weights I can purchase - 4, 6, 10, 14, 16 grams - and I was curious if there is a set rule that if you increase shaft weight, how much weight needs to increase in the clubhead to keep the same swing weight. I read that to increase driver swing weight by one point that 2 grams needs to be added to the head, but I am not sure if that is accurate. Any insight would be great, thank you!

I had my shaft installed logo down at STD and after a year I have found my optimal playing adjustment to be +1.0 Draw. But now, the logo on the shaft (Ventus Velcore+ Blue) is in my view and slightly off to the side which really bothers me. Is it easy enough to alter the adapter sleeve? I don't necessarily need to do it but if it is something easy for a shop to do I would like it done.

I play my 5W at 42" as well. I was looking at a Cobra 3W which has a standard playing length of 43.25 (according to the website) so I was hoping to get that down similar to what you play, a 42.5 or so. How are your distance gaps with that? My 5W has about a 135-140 ball speed and carries around 215 or so. I am hoping if I play a 42.5 3W I can get into the 230 range.

Curious if anyone plays a consistent shaft length across their fairway woods, or at least plays them closer in length compared to standard. I have always found standard length in woods and drivers to be much too long and usually cut down the driver, but am consider making my 3 wood a bit shorter now as well so it can play similar to my 5 wood, which I hit quite well.

I am curious about the stock shaft in the Taylormade BRNR Mini-Driver. It looks like a UST Mamiya Proforce 65 M40X but I cannot seem to find any details about this shaft online (bend profile, launch, spin, etc). Would love some insight, thanks!

Ah that makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

With a draw setting isn’t that just increasing the lie angle so would it decrease it for a lefty?

I am left handed and use a Cobra Darkspeed driver. I have struggled with slices/fades for a while so I play a STD DRAW or +1.0 DRAW setting on my adapter. I just realized today that there are specific left handed adapter sleeves that should be marked with an LH. So have I been playing a STD FADE or -1.0 FADE this whole time?? With a right handed adapter sleeve what do I need to set the head to in order to have a standard or +1.0 DRAW for a LEFT HANDED golfer? -1.0? With no DRAW designation?
