The Cobra OPTM Max Fairway lie-angle progression spans 58.5°–61.8°. The listed progression runs from 3W at 58.5° to 9W at 61.8°. Use these figures as a starting point for address fit, centred contact and dynamic lie testing.

OPTM Max Fairway lie-angle overview
What stands out about the OPTM Max Fairway lie setup?
The listed lie values span 3.3° across the model.
The most common progression step is about 1.8°.
Lie should be treated as fine tuning; face angle, strike and delivery usually have a larger effect on ball flight.

Dynamic lie test for the Cobra OPTM Max Fairway
Use a +1° lie setting as a controlled test when centred strikes start right. FutureFit33 provides lie adjustment, so compare results against the stock setting rather than guessing.
Start from the listed stock reference, establish centred contact and record start direction before changing the lie setting.
Use a −1° lie setting as a controlled test when centred strikes start left. Compare strike location and start direction before deciding whether the flatter setting is actually better.
Should the Cobra OPTM Max Fairway be more upright or flatter?
Try a more upright fit if…
- Across its listed options, lie runs from 3W at 58.5° to 9W at 61.8°. Your best-centred shots still launch/start right while the face delivery is otherwise repeatable.
- At the 58.5°–61.8° stock lie reference, the toe is consistently down through impact rather than only at static address.
- The club is listed at 41.5–43.25 in; if that length suits you, an upright lie/setting test is more sensible than masking the fit by choking down.
- Use the model’s listed FutureFit33 · lie adjustable ±2° capability rather than bending the head; compare one controlled upright setting while keeping loft and face setup as consistent as possible.
Try a flatter fit if…
- With the listed 58.5°–61.8° lie, centred strikes repeatedly start left and the heel is arriving lower than the toe.
- At 41.5–43.25 in playing length, the club feels too upright even with your normal hand height; shortening/choking down changes the effective fit, so test that separately from lie.
- Use the available FutureFit33 · lie adjustable ±2° range to compare a flatter setting before changing build length or grip position.
- The flatter test improves start direction while preserving the same centred strike location and launch window.
Lie angle probably is not the main problem if…
- Your centred shots behave normally from the listed 58.5°–61.8° lie and the right/left miss changes mainly with face angle.
- You are not actually delivering the listed 41.5–43.25 in build consistently—for example, frequently choking down—so effective length should be standardised before judging lie.
- Strike location is moving heel-to-toe; lie conclusions from off-centre metalwood strikes are noisy.
- You are changing an adjustable hosel setting that also alters other delivered geometry; lock one FutureFit33 · lie adjustable ±2° setting before diagnosing lie.
Why playing length changes the lie fit
This model is listed at 41.5–43.25 in. Playing length changes posture and hand height, so dynamic lie should be re-checked after any length change.
