The Cobra S3 Fairway fairway wood has 3 listed factory loft options. The listed lofts are 15°, 18° and 21°. The chart focuses on the stated head lofts themselves; actual launch and spin still depend on delivery, strike and the rest of the build.

How to use it: Use the lower lofts for a stronger, flatter starting point and the higher lofts for easier launch. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike.
Loft Spread
The listed lofts cover 6°, from 15° to 21°.
Choice Spacing
The adjacent listed loft gaps run from 3° to 3°, with a median of 3°.
15° vs 21°
Moving from 15° to 21° adds 6° of static loft. The higher-loft option generally starts from an easier-launching, higher-spin baseline.
S3 Fairway vs Other Cobra Fairway Wood Lofts
This comparison uses each model’s lowest listed loft so the numbers are on the same basis.
| Model | Lowest Loft | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| S3 Fairway | 15° | This model |
| Baffler Rail Fairway | 15° | Same lowest loft |
| Comp Fairway Woods | 15° | Same lowest loft |
| HS9 Fairway Woods | 15° | Same lowest loft |
| King Cobra Fairway Woods | 15° | Same lowest loft |
How Each S3 Fairway Loft Changes the Starting Point
| Option | Loft | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | 15° | This is the strongest listed loft and the lowest-launching starting point within the model. |
| Option 2 | 18° | This sits between the strongest and weakest listed lofts for a more middle-of-the-range starting point. |
| Option 3 | 21° | This is the weakest listed loft and the easiest-launching starting point within the model. |
Cobra S3 Fairway Loft FAQs
What lofts does the Cobra S3 Fairway come in?
The listed lofts are 15°, 18° and 21°.
What is the loft range of the S3 Fairway?
It runs from 15° to 21°, a 6° total span.
What is the typical loft gap?
The median adjacent loft gap is 3°.
Which S3 Fairway loft should launch highest?
The 21° option is the highest listed loft and should provide the highest-launching starting point, all else equal.
Can you adjust the loft?
No user-adjustable loft sleeve is fitted to the S3 Fairway. Its loft is set by the head. There is no hosel ring to rotate: changing shafts does not change the head’s loft, and a driver/fairway/hybrid hosel should not be bent like an iron. To materially change loft, use a different factory-loft head/model or have a qualified fitter confirm whether any specialist modification is possible.
Does more loft always mean a better result?
No. The best loft depends on the club type, player delivery, strike and the distance or trajectory window you are trying to hit.
Spec & fitting disclaimer: Loft availability and specifications can vary by year, region, handedness and configuration. Verify the exact club with Cobra’s official documentation or an authorized fitter before ordering or adjusting equipment.
