    Just curious what the maximum bend the AP2's will tolerate.

    I bought a new set last fall and although I hit the short and mid irons reasonably well, I have really struggled with the long irons. This came as a bit of a shock to me as I was always an excellent ball striker, especially when it came to long Irons, But, after a 10 year layoff from golf I just assumed the sands of time had washed away my ability.

    I wasn't satisfied as the season has progressed, I really thought I would be able to reclaim some past glory with a bit of hard work and perseverance.  So I dug out my old MP33's that were bent 2* flat and shortened a half inch. My ball striking was immediately better with the long irons. As this piqued my curiosity, I needed to compare the two clubs. What I found was a little surprising to me. The new AP2's that were ordered 1.5* flat were still 2* upright from my MP33's at the same length.

    It seems to me to be an easy solution, but I'm a bit nervous that the club won't handle another 2*, or 3.5* total.

    Anybody out there know?

    Thanks

    So... If anyone's interested, being impatient as I am, I decided to bend the clubs today.

    They were terrifically easy to bend, bent 8 in about an hour. No problems save the six iron, the chrome's still there, but it's a little flaky. I may have rushed it a bit after having good luck with the 4 and 5 which needed the most bending.

    I'll post my new lies and lofts soon so you can see how much they were bent for your own reference.

    The guidelines are always "plus or minus 2 degrees"

    The tolerance is only 2 degrees plus or minus.  I wouldn't bend them anymore than that, as you will likely be voiding the warranty.
