No need to buy a new one unless you really want to. Bending it two degrees isn't a big deal. I just had my PW bent from 47* to 48* to accommodate replacing my AW with a 3-iron.

It can be done but in my experience wedges wear pretty fast.  Depending on what you like as far as spin you might want to replace it.

It is an older wedge and would need to be regrooved.

May not be worth all the money that would have to go into it.

I'll see how much it costs to re-grip, reshaft, bend the loft etc.

Thanks for the input.

I was looking for a 52 to match my 56 and 60 MacGregor VIP forged wedges but I could not find one. I did find a another 56 and 60, like I already had. I asked if they could find a matching 52 and the guy said they are hard to find but that he could easily take the 56 down to a 52, only because it was forged. He said we would not recommend going that far with anything but a forged club. I was so happy with the price for the club, loft change and the grip I like, I asked if he could set the 60 to 62 or 64 and he said that would not be a problem either. I ended up with a 56 set at 51.5 and the 60 adjusted to 63. They work very well, just as expected. The only problem now is I have two clubs stamped 60 and two stamped 56. Not a big deal, but I do have to check twice to make sure I am hitting what I think I am.

    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
    • He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
