Bending a Rac 56* Help!
For some reason I now have 2 56* rac's... how far can I get one of them bent? any one have experience with this, ideally I would like to get it bent to 59* or 60* can it be done with this particular wedge??? tks

It probably could be done. But what are you going to do with a 59* club that now has around 15* of bounce.

i guess ur right, but i think its an 8* bounce, so if i am not mistaken adding 3* of loft would add 3* of bounce, so it would be an 11* bounce...would that be playable?

I had a TM TP Smoke bent from 52 to 50 which decreased the bounce by 2 deg which was fine by me. I think 3-4 is the max I would go. That being said, 11 deg bounce is a fair bit for a 59-60 degree wedge. Personally I wouldn't want that much - unless it was going to be used out of the sand most of the time, but then that is why you have the 56 deg wedge.
btw is it black, chrome, or satin? Not sure I would try bending the black ones.I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

Sebber,
I would be careful about bending any OEM clubs more than 2 degrees....I agree with the poster that said 3-4 absolute max..only seen one club designed for a bend of more that 4 degrees.
