    I'm wondering is it possible to bend my vokey wedges? Has anyone had this done? I currently have a 52, 56 & 60 degree but I want to change the lofts to 50, 54 & 58. Can this be done or will I have to buy a new set of wedges?

    I did exactly that a few weeks ago (with TM wedges) worked fine. They recommend that you don't go more than 2 degrees. Pro did it for nothing.

    The loft & lie of almost all forged clubes can be changed, however when you deloft them by 2 degrees you also change the bounce by 2 degrees

    Volkey's are cast and not forged. It can be done, but there is a risk of breaking. I think (as said above) that 2 degrees adjustment should be ok

    I've had Vokeys bend, both loft and lie with no issues. However whoever does it for you will probably say there is a risk of them breaking.

    Bit of a risk doing it by 2 degrees.

    It's counter productive on a wedge if the bounce was on the low side, Your 54 could have 8 degrees which is not very useful for such a versatile club, also consider effect in sand play

    2 degrees of bounce change isn't really that significant. 4 would be noticeable. If the choice is to bend them or buy three new wedges its a no brainer surely.

    It isn't from 12 to 10 on a sand wedge, but from 10 to 8 for a sand wedge is not ideal for variety of shots or bunker play

    If you use the bounce on tight lies it definitely is on the low side.

    Just depends on preference, if you only use a 54 for full shots doesn't matter
