Possible to bend a wedge 4 degrees?

[Comeback]

Well i do not like my PW so i was looking for a clevland wedge at 46 degrees and everyone is sold out, is it possible to buy a 50 degree wedge and have it bent to 46 degrees?

yes but it will affect the bounce 4* also. ie a 12* bounce will be 8*. This is ok if you do not need the extra bounce. Such as your course has tight lies. Or you can control the size of your divots.

Myself---I prefer low bounce clubs. 60* wedge at 6* when most are around 10*. Same with 52* wedge. Clevelands tend to have higher bounces.

I don't think you'll have much luck bending a Cleveland wedge that much. They are known to be pretty brittle...a lot of people won't bend them at all. Besides this, bending it would reduce the bounce by 4 degrees, so you'd need to make sure it was still playable in that regard.

You bet. Y.E. Yang's sand wedge is a 48* pitching wedge bent open to 52*...essentially the inverse of what you're wanting to do.
