Bending Ping clubs....

[NWJocko]

I remember a heated argument about this on a for sale thread some time back.....

How far can Ping's be bent, dot wise?

i.e. could you get them bent from White dot to Black dot or is that too far?

Also, would a local Ping stockist/fitter be able to do it?

Too much time to look at new clubs while the mrs watches rubbish on TV!

I think it's 2 degrees either way. And you've to send 'em to Ping.

I doubt many ordinary Pros would try to bend any cast clubs let alone Pings. Chances of breakage are quite hihg i suspect.

When I got my I15's, the fitter in Golf Galaxy bent them from black to brown dots. He did all the irons (3-PW) in something like 15 mins with no problems whatsoever.

That argument involved myself but i cant remember but im sure white to black is ok

I think ping will do 4 deg (from standard), which is a lot more than most and is something to do with notch in the hosel

The general rule is 2 degrees each way for cast clubs and 4 degrees each way for forged.
As Ping black is standard and white is 3 degrees upright, they may not do it.
Best bet is to ask your pro

Personally I'd contact Ping direct.
Get it from the horses mouth so to speak.
They are easy to get hold of, and very customer orientated, so if they can do it, they will.
Their telephone number is 01427 619228.
Helpful, aren't I?

is a good idea - ideally 180 degrees halfway down the shaft.

Stick them in the Black n decker work bench , measure with primary school protractor, hit with hammer, measure again, repeat as necessary
