I recently bought two new (used) Vokey wedges. Because of my peculiar, Neanderthal, build I need all my clubs' lies to be adjusted 3 to 4° flat. I usually take my clubs to a fitter 15 miles away but, for convenience, thought I'd go to my local AG, which is 5 minutes up the road. Went to see the manager, who I know well & have bought stuff off in the past. Now I know the Vokeys are cast, not forged, but they're cast from soft metal & can be bent 3° without a problem. The manager said he'd "do what I can with them" I offered to wait but he said to leave them as they were busy (the shop was empty at the time!) I went back later to collect them. He said he couldn't move them very far and they didn't seem to be much different. He didn't charge for the job.
Subsequently, I bought a new 46° SM4 to complete the set & took all three to my usual fitter. He looked at the two which AG had done and said that he doubted they'd been touched, there was no telltale trace of a tool mark, even the slightest hint. In about 2 minutes he had all three nicely flattened to my specification, for no charge again, since last week I presented him with a free photo at his club's prize giving.
Fair to say my local AG aren't the best golf engineers in the world, don't think I'll be going back in a hurry.
