    Bending a Fairway Metal

    Could a 4 wood be bent to 5 wood loft (which I think is 19* in most cases). Let me know! I am looking at the r9 model. I can found a few used 4 woods, but no 5 woods!

    Depending on the hosel, some FWYs can be bent.

    Also don't forget that all clubs have some +/- on the loft so if you can get the club measured it might already be close to 5W loft. Or it might be further away.

    Got the 4 wood, now where is the best place to go to have it tuned to 18 degrees?
