The Cobra Bobby Grace The Ice Man is listed with 3° loft and 71° lie. Putter adjustment is about matching static geometry to the player’s delivered loft, posture and sole position. Use a proper putter bending machine for any loft or lie change, and measure the result rather than relying on the amount moved at the neck.

What a professional bend changes
| Change | Effect |
|---|---|
| +1° loft | Raises launch and can help when the ball is being driven into the turf |
| -1° loft | Lowers launch and can reduce excessive hop when delivered loft is too high |
| 1° upright | Raises the toe relative to the ground |
| 1° flat | Lowers the toe relative to the ground |
Measure delivered loft first. Static loft does not tell the whole story because shaft lean at impact changes launch.
Best fitting order
- Fit length and posture.
- Check how the sole sits.
- Measure delivered loft and launch.
- Make the smallest useful loft or lie change.
- Recheck roll and start line.
Disclaimer: Use a proper putter bending machine and verify the neck and head construction before adjustment.
