Bending Cobra S2 Max 2* upright...

[Kellfire]

Basically, can this be done?

They're most definitely a cast club and a chunky one at that. I had the free MOT at Direct Golf and sure enough the lie angles were very consistently saying I'd benefit from being bent 2* upright.

I'm wary of this and it seemed like they were umming and ahhhing with each other in the shop but being very definitive with me that it can be done easily.

I don't want my lovely SGI shovels snapped or weakened...

It can be done although with it being cast it is a bit more difficult, hence the umming and ahhing. Ping are cast and can be changed. Whatever you do take them to a reputable club maker but be prepared for them to tell you that it is at your own risk!!

As part of the MOT they do a reduced price at Direct Golf, I was going to stick with them. Hmmm. If they can't cover the cost of a replacement for a breakage, I won't be doing it. Simple as that.

the way you take divots they'll be bending every one of them differently hahahaha

only joking, I definitely turn the soil over more than Mark

Couldn't they (or someone else if they didn't deal with cobra) just ring up cobra and ask? Cobra'll either say yes, no or they need sending back to not void the warranty at X amount and you'll know where you stand.

more a metal thing than a Cobra one I would have thought.

there's also the issue that I would want to use a little heat when doing it, which would leave the issue of glue degredation in the hozel.

cold, you may or may not get away with it. worse, you may think you have got away with it but have weakened the material...

if Cobra said anything other than 'we wouldn't recomend it' I would be amazed. they might add that they can supply 2 degrees upright though.

edit - missread your post. yes, agree, send them back to Cobra would be the best solution.

Wouldn't trust direct golf with bending any iron my mate got fitted there for a set of Adams irons that they had on the shelf and rather them ordering them in they adjusted them in the shop and he has since seen on 6 irons they have cracks in them from them hitting them with the hammer

how have you got on with this mate, I've just been given the same prescription

No phone call, I'm assuming they've found out it can't be done! I've seen the guy who did the fitting twice since in the club and no mention, which is a poor way to treat a customer but I won't say too much because it's handy have Direct Golf running the clubhouse.
