Hey guys i have gotten a great deal on a X-Tour 50* gap wedge. Problem is i already have one.. What i am thinking about doing is having it bent to 46* to replace my 46* PW. The 50* has 11* of bounce in it. My PW has 7* so in theory it would work out ok. My question is bending it 4* could this cause problems by changing anything else.... ie.. face angle???

Thanks

My worry would be durability. I looked it up and found that it is a forged club. With the softer metal I have heard that you could bend it to 4* or 5* without problems. If it were cast, though, you could only get to 2* of bend. I don't know about the face angle for sure, but if the bending didn't break the club, I think that you would be alright with it.

bending it 4º might be a bit of a stretch.

do you think i would be in danger of breaking it??? or do you think it could just throw off something else??? thanks

If it's forged I don't think bending it 4º should be a problem. I'm not sure if/how it will affect the playability of the wedge but as far as if it can be done, I'd say definitely.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
