I was looking into buying a set of clubs off the shelf. They are used so I cant get them fitted from the factory. Should they be ok to have bent. Im looking into getting either the admas a2, Cobra FP, or the Ping g2/g5. I have been finding the pings or sale, bu they are not my "dot" I need an orange (2 degree flat). I have heard alot of people say you cant bend cast clubs, but then I hear other people say that is a load of bull.

Should I be ok? I also have a set of mizuno mx-23 i would be willing to trade for one of the above - I cant seem to iht any good shots off of these mizunos.

Thanks in advance!

Ping will bend the whole set and "recolor" them for 18 bucks plus return shipping (14 bucks - so 32 total plus what it takes to get them to ping). From what I understand, turn around time is usually less than a week. I'm not sure what the fitting process is, but I think when they have a demo day, they will fit you for free, even with the old clubs.

As far as the others go, I don't know for sure if the factory will bend them, but any reputable club repair shop should be able to bend them +/- a few degrees. I think the place I go charges like 3 or 4 bucks a club to do it.

    • 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%!
    • 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.
