Bend my Vokey's?

[lance0363]

I have been struggling with my wedges. I am playing with Ping G-10's with a silver dot 4* upright. I am thinking I should probably have my wedges bent to match, but what happens to the bounce if I have them bent? Does it change? or is that only when the loft is changed?
Thanks

You should def get them bent upright if not more cause you are standing closer to the ball. Also, pretty sure it doesnt change anything, loft/bounce.

My irons are standard, my 52,56 is 1* up, and my 62 is 2* up. Just my preference.

Bounce changes with loft adjustments.

Dont bend them to far up. Upright wedges can be a real pain in the sand, and the rough. Try 2 degrees and see what that does for you. I used to play my irons 3 degrees upright, and usually kept my wedges at about 1 degree upright. Occasionally 2 degree depending if the club was offset or not. (more of a visual thing for me)

I agree with JWL1957 here. My irons are 3* upright, my wedges are about 2*. The way the club felt at setup and the interaction with the turf were very noticeable after bending. Be careful though, as my local club guys said he is hesitant to take a vokey farther than 2.5* either way.

The offset changes when you bend the lie angle which could be pretty bad supposedly. I just read something on that somewhere a while ago. I would try calling titleist. Good luck with that though. They never call or email me back and I have similar easy to answer questions. Same thing with Ogio. where is the customer service nowadays?

for every degree of loft you change, the bounce will also chage the same

Example - a current 56/12 wedge bent to 58, will end at 58/14, or bent to 54, will end at 54/10
so yes, it affects bounce as well

general rule of them is no more than 2 degrees, especially on a Vokey that is not forged
a forged wedge might take a little more, but isnt reccomended

The offset/gooseneck should be fine if the guy bending the irons knows what he's doing. Alot of idiots out there today end up toeing in (shut face) if they dont keep the shaft parallel while bending.
