The Cobra SS 290 Hyper Steel driver has 2 listed factory loft options. The listed lofts are 9° and 10.5°. 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 1.5°, from 9° to 10.5°.
Choice Spacing
The adjacent listed loft gaps run from 1.5° to 1.5°, with a median of 1.5°.
9° vs 10.5°
Moving from 9° to 10.5° adds 1.5° of static loft. The higher-loft option generally starts from an easier-launching, higher-spin baseline.
SS 290 Hyper Steel vs Other Cobra Driver Lofts
This comparison uses each model’s lowest listed loft so the numbers are on the same basis.

| 400 SZ | 9° | Same lowest loft |
| 414 Comp | 9° | Same lowest loft |
| 440 SZ | 9° | Same lowest loft |
| 454 Comp | 9° | Same lowest loft |
How Each SS 290 Hyper Steel Loft Changes the Starting Point
| Option | Loft | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | 9° | This is the strongest listed loft and the lowest-launching starting point within the model. |
| Option 2 | 10.5° | This is the weakest listed loft and the easiest-launching starting point within the model. |
Cobra SS 290 Hyper Steel Loft FAQs
What lofts does the Cobra SS 290 Hyper Steel come in?
The listed lofts are 9° and 10.5°.
What is the loft range of the SS 290 Hyper Steel?
It runs from 9° to 10.5°, a 1.5° total span.
What is the typical loft gap?
The median adjacent loft gap is 1.5°.
Which SS 290 Hyper Steel loft should launch highest?
The 10.5° 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 SS 290 Hyper Steel. 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.
