You're argumentative.

How so? Asking someone what their point is hardly seems argumentative IMO.

You asked for peoples thoughts on club bending machines, I pointed out the fact that most golfers have no business owning a machine like this and then I asked you an additional question which you ignored.

@NHpro Do you honestly think it's a good idea for players who know very little about lofts, lies, bounce, etc to be owning a machine like this and manipulating their own clubs?

Especially considering that the majority of golfers don't own or utilize a launch monitor?

 

Are you trying to convince people that the average golfer needs to go out and buy a club bending machine?

That’s your point?

I doubt it, and even if he was… it’s a discussion forum. He’s allowed and even encouraged to discuss.

I have delofted all my irons 3-4 degrees and have picked up some distance

????

I'm sorry. I'm glad you're happy but to me this seems like a silly idea. 

I can see tweaking a club a degree or maybe two to improve your gapping where need be. My 5 iron and 6 iron are both tweaked a degree weaker than standard. 
But if you bend all the clubs that far all you are doing is turning your 6 iron into a 5 iron and the 5 iron into a 4 iron etc... 

Why not just hit your 5 iron instead of your 6 iron? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I completely agree, I have a set of Eye 2 and I play them at the lofts they were designed with. Doesn't make sense to strengthen a 7-iron into a 6-iron when you already have a 6-iron.

There are a few other threads on TST similar to this one with same OP, I think there is "Club Bending", "New Life for Old Clubs", and this one.

It's a personal choice.

I have an old set of PING ISI's. 

I wish they were the beryllium copper ones, but they aren't. I still think they're cool though. I got them back in 1996. They were my first set of "expensive irons". I was even fit for them. Before that I played Knight Centauri's. I bet you never heard of those. 👍😁👍

@klineka asked you what your point is, because you started off seemingly suggesting people get their own loft/lie machines, and then later agreed that you have to know what you're doing to use one.

What are your thoughts on owning your own and fine tuning your game?

Others have shared their thoughts; they generally don't align with yours. But now you're just…

So, buddy, stop.

P.S. I have my own loft/lie/bending machine and know how to use it. It's not something 99% of golfers need to worry about.

Becu heads are nice from what I've been told.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
