EW,

Forged irons can be done easily, stainless steel cast heads are a different story. My Hogans (forged) have to be checked about every 8 months. Just from hitting them the lie and loft changes. My wedges are 703 stainless steel. They play soft but can't be bent the head would snap off the hosel. I wanted my 52* to play as a 50*. My clubmaker refused to do it. He has done pro clubs when they play the classic in New Orleans.

Just call a clubmaker and ask them.

Food for thought,

Altering the loft/lie on clubs

Exactly as Golfbald says, forged irons are easier than the rest. If they are not forged there is no telling whether they will snap. Take them to a good clubmender or your PGA pro shop and they will likley be able to move them 1 or 2 degrees - before purchasing ask the person who will do the job, first...

Thanks guys. I phoned my pro shop (an authorized Taylormade retailer) and they told me it wouldn't be a problem to bend them a degree or two, so I bid on the hooks and won, and will be taking them in to be adjusted when they arrive.

I buy a used club as a tester if i'm going to splash out on a new set ... kinda like a test drive. What I look for are bulges in the hosel. If I find one I disregard the club because I know it will snap eventually.

I live in the town where stainless steel was invented and all my family were rought up around the steel industry so I can tell good metal when I see it. Stainless steel holds a sharp edge so it's good for knives etc but it's very brittle and not easily manipulated.
