I did a search, but I can't find anything- My question is: Can I change the loft and lie angles of my Ping Eye 2 (Plus No Plus) irons?

I am undergoing a swing change, and they need to come flatter in lie angle. I put them on my golfsmith loft/lie machine and was suprised to find that some of them are 4 to 5 degrees more upright than expected. I have had them for several years and I don't ever remember checking them at all. So.. some of them would have to move quite a bit. I put the three iron on and I was able to move it 2-3 degrees, but after that, it's not moving at all. I am afraid to really crank on it hard because I don't know if the metal is so brittle it might crack...
Does anybody know if I can just push harder? Would that end in breaking the hosel? Do I need to heat them with a torch or something and then bend them?

4 or 5 degrees sounds like too much to bend any cast club to me. I think most of the time it's 1 or 2 degrees for cast, but Ping could be different. If I were you, I would post this question on the Golfsmith Clubmaker's Forum . There are lots of really knowledgeable clubmaker's there and the Golfsmith Technical Dept. usually responds within a day or so. Just post it in the OEM information forum.
