I need to get my clubs bent 2 degrees upright on the lie angle. Is this going to affect my club?

Question

I have nike ignites. I sm just curious before i spend the money doing this. Is my club going to be weaker when it gets bent. how being of a change it will have on my game.

Answer 1

It won't hurt your clubs.  But 2 degrees upright is quite a bit so I hope you got this advice from a PGA professional.

Answer 2

There will be some minor degradation in the strength of the metal but I don't think you'll be snapping off the club heads. 2 degrees is about the max before you really tax the metal memory.

You should see a difference in your divots. Instead of a heel divot it should be a more uniform, sole of the club type divot.

Answer 3

First of all, who told you that you need a lie angle adjustment of 2 degrees? Are you a proficient enough golfer to utilize such an adjustment ? If this is the fix you require , have the golf pro send the set of irons back to Nike and let them do the work. It should be professional, guaranteed, and accurate.

Answer 4

I have ping I3+'s and I had them bent 2 degrees upright.  As the previous answerer said the divot is now more square.  I also miss to the right less often and gained about 5 yards with each iron.  Ping claims no noticeable difference in the strength of the club head.  If this is the correct angle for you, you should find that your iron shots are more consistent than before.  This should not be too expensive.  Good luck

Answer 5

have retailer ship to nike for adjustment , if club breaks, free replacement . 2 degrees is not a lot , it can be done by a qualified club repair shop , but use caution , many people think they can do it , most cant . use caution if you do not want to go yo nike . the results . more accuracy , no pushes to the right . ball will hit in centre clubface , not toe area . take your stance . you will notice heel of club off ground . after adjustment . sole will rest flat
