How much does it cost to bend irons?

Can I change the lie angle on an iron?
The 2-degree limit is only recommended when changing the lofts on irons due to the potential effect such bends will have on the sole angle of the club. If the hosel design and manufacturing processes allow it, the lie of an iron can be bent 3-4 degrees or more with no compromise to the integrity of the head.
Should I bend my irons upright?
If your club is too upright at impact, then your shots will travel to the left of your target. Conversely, if your club is too flat, then your shots will be heading right.

Introduction
Steps to replace an old golf club shaft with a new steel shaft and replace an old grip with a new one.
Step 1 Golf Club Steel Shaft and Grip
Using propane or a torch, heat the hosel of the club to remove the steel shaft from the club head. The heat will break the epoxy bond that holds the head to the shaft.
Step 2
Use a wire brush to clean out the remains of the old epoxy from the club head.
Step 3
Use a piece of sand paper or a grinder to roughen the tip of the shaft where it connects to the hosel of the club head.
Step 4
Pour epoxy into a container and stir to mix it together. Once epoxy is mixed together, spin the shaft tip into the epoxy to prepare for insertion into the head.
Step 5
Insert the shaft into the club head. Hold the head and shaft together for approximately 30 seconds to secure.
Step 6
To replace the grip of the club, place the club on a level surface where you can cut a straight line through the grip using a razor blade or a utility knife.

Do it by hand put the club head on the ground, hold the end of the grip and use your other hand to manipulate it pipe benders are too vicious for a golf shaft you might end up ruining it... I have seen more than a few hire sets bent back into shape by hand. OR for $10 buy a NEW shaft for it :P

the towell and rubbing the shaft will get it hot enough to mildly burn your fingertips if you touch it. have done it while playing golf, when u hit a rock under the turf. best way to do it for sure

Thanks for the responses - I just had a go at the towel method and it worked a treat. That should be a pinned topic!! I had searched for shaft and bend/bent but you just get a tonne of posts about lie angles. I love GolfWRX!
99andaflake
cool - it was bent at the second step up from the hosel - About a third of the way up the shaft. I bought the set for a pittance so to start re-shafting would have ruined some of the 'bargain-ness' of the set!! Plus I have no idea if my proshop would have had one of the older sensicore shafts in stock. Thanks again!

If there's just a curvature in the shaft, bend it using the towel method. If the shaft has a kink or crease, reshaft it. You don't want the shaft to let loose and hurt anyone else.

I need to stay out of the rough and from I between trees and fences. Bent my 7i today. Will try this towel method before shelling out for a new Project x 6.5.

Can metal wood be bent?
Even with limitations, many of today’s metal woods are indeed bendable, especially stainless-steel head s. Forged titanium models are bendable as well due to their softer titanium structure.

All bending machines are not accurate in their readings. Machines with fixed measuring gauges will not be accurate when measuring clubs with offset, progressive offset, or face progression hosel positions.

Played today early in the morning. I was in a lie behind a tree. Had a clear opening for a perfect 8 iron shot into the green. I swung and my club clipped the tree and bent the steel shaft of the club.

you might want to get it replaced anway since you'll be compensating on every shot.

Because it has been bent once, it will happen again, slowly over time. Thus: One single steel shaft isn't going to cost you much. I would just replace it. You've got the CB1's, which are new so I'd assume either True Temper, Project X, or KBS shafts, all of which are easily replaceable.

No, it won't. Sorry. I don't mean to be blunt. But it won't. The OP said his G425's are blue dot, which means 1 degree upright. The G's are black dot which means regular lie. The G's come approximately 1 degree more upright...
Why does the swing weight change when the lie is changed?
The reason is simply that a different lie makes the club either longer or shorter.
