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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
