This has nothing do with your question but it just popped into my mind when I read the word bendable. I once hit my old X-14 8 iron on a 2nd shot (approach) attacking a green guarded by a lake from the front, but my shot was short and it sank. I got very angry and I hit the club hard against the ground and threw it away.

Next time on the range I got it out and instantly noticed something was wrong about it; it got bent. I tried rebending it as much as I could to it's original shape that it has become really unnoticable unless you know it is bent, and surprisingly I seem to be hitting it better than ever. Actually I used it from the tee on my last 2 par 3 birdies!!

I will have to get a hold on myself with my new clubs though.

Sorry for the thread jacking.

I think forged irons can be bent to specific lofts/lie while cast irons cannot.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
