    I perform very well with all of my vokey wedges and much better with them than my current gamer irons.  I was wondering if it would be possible to customize or bend a 46 degree wedge stronger to like 44 or 43 degrees and insert the correct shaft length that would allow me to replace my 9i?  Has anyone done this? Is it a possibility?

    thanks!

    I have not done this but, I am very interested in this also. I didn't think you could do it as it would change your bounce or your attack angle too much????

    Hi Ralph, 

    I would not typically recommend doing this. Not only would you significantly change the offset of the club, you would also drastically change the bounce and playing characteristics of the club. Finally, you would have to adjust the swing weight quite a bit. 

    Have you tried an MB in the short irons? These may fit your eye better. 

    Hope this helps.

    Order an individual MB iron.

    Bending a wedge will change loft AND every other playing characteristic.  Just too much to fix.
