Feedback

No not quite. "N" is neutral v. Draw or Slice. "S" means "stated" for loft that is on the club.

Feedback

I don't believe there is a designated loft cog or face angle cog, just that you combine the settings on the 2 cogs to get what you want. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I have Cally driver/3w/5w, I'll have to check mine and see what the cogs have on them.

Feedback

Ignore which cog the lettering is on. There isn't one cog for loft and one for lie angle. The cogs are shaped such that they won't line up correctly if you are trying a combination that doesn't work (such as "Stated Loft" and "+1" loft... obviously you can't have the club set to two different loft settings).
