Anyone ever have a club bent to a different loft?

My last set of irons the lifts on a couple of irons were off so I had them bent back.

FYI you can only bend forged clubs.

Bumped my putter up 1 degree. Gets it up and rolling smoother on the greens down here.

I’ve messed with the loft on a wedge for gapping purposes and had my utility 2 iron bent 2* to get a little more height.

All my irons are bent 2* flat in lie angle as well.

Depends on the type of irons you play. Wedges are easier to bend. I've bent a few long irons before, but they were blades.

The toughest ones I've ever bent were the Calaways because the hozel is short.

Also, you can go a few degrees, but much.more than that and you need to buy a new club

All my wedges are bent 1.5* strong to get rid of 1.5* of bounce. Can’t stand a lot of bounce. Want my wedges to sit flat on the ground

Why don't you just order them with low bounce? Or do you already get like 4 degrees and bend them more? You must play on a lot of hard pan.

Incorrect. My Vokey wedges are all bent 2 degrees strong, not forged. Ping irons can be bent as well, not forged.

The Mack daddy Forged had limited bounce options. I think my 60 has 8*. I wanted a little less. Courses vary, from Dumas to Greystone to Fennwood to CCL.

Went ahead and had my Cleveland 60*bent to 62.5*. Gonna go out tomorrow and see how it plays. Didn’t really have any money in it so if it screws up not a big deal
