its my understanding that some irons dont bend.
what are the characteristics of irons that dont bend?

Im asking because i am thinking about having the lie adjusted on my Taylormade Rac OS2.

Thanks in advance for the input.

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.

    • While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?

    • By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.

    • Trying to feel bit more external rotation of the trail elbow at A4. I think better than what have ever been able to position it.  Forward lunge at impact still a work in progress.
