chisag Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 You are 100% correct on!! To be honest it would never occurred to me to even think to try that!!! ... A friend of mine asked me to bend a wedge he picked up for $5 in a garage sale. It was an old 56* Cleveland, had been bent to 52* and looked like a VAS iron LOL. I told him I could bend it back but it might break and he was OK with that. It didn't, I got it back to 56* and it looked like a wedge again. That is the most I have ever seen a wedge bent and the most I have ever bent one. 10* was just not worth responding to. Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Qi10 5 wood ...

Jmikecpa Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Aren't Vokey wedges cast? There is not a cast club on the planet that would go 10* without snapping.

Bags Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Greetings Ya'll, I need assistance getting Dick's to stand behind their error. They ruined my mixed set of Titleist 718 irons and 3 SM6 Vokey wedges. -My Wife and I live in Michigan full time. We are in Clermont Florida temporarily while I attend classes at the Golf Academy of America, Orlando Campus. I am 47, retired as a Major from the Army after 25 years of service. I am going to school to become a Teaching Professional. -A large part of the course work is actually playing the game. I need golf clubs on a daily basis to receive a grade. -I purchased a new set of irons, a Titleist 718 mixed set. 4-7 AP2. 8-P CB. They were professionally fit in Michigan before starting class on October 23rd. In addition to the irons, I purchased 3 Vokey SM6 wedges. 48, 54, 58. All the shafts are upgraded True Temper shafts. Total Cost is approximately $2000 dollars. -I was scheduled to participate in a golf tournament on November 6, 2017. The course, Venetian Bay, is in Port Orange, Florida. On November 5, 2017, my wife and I left Clermont for the tournament. I have been working on gapping my clubs. On our way out of town, we stopped at Dick's Sporting Goods in Clermont, FL. I stopped to have the licensed club fitter, Jim, adjust the lofts of all 10 clubs. The most any club was to be adjusted was 2 degrees. He adjusted them, we paid for them, and we continued on to the hotel in Port Orange. -After checking in, my wife and I went to a driving range. I always warm up with my wedges. I grabbed my 58 and discovered it looked more like a 4 iron. I don't know how he did it. But he managed to bend all of clubs in the range of about 10 degrees apiece. I was devastated. We went to Bob Evans for ice cream and to ponder my options. I found a Dick's in Daytona about 7 miles from us. We made it to the store just before closing. I grabbed the 3 SM6 wedges and showed them to the club fitter Gary. He couldn't even get them in his loft machine at first. He was able to bend them back close to the point they resembled a wedge. Gary couldn't figure out how Jim could have done it. I asked him to look at all of them. He couldn't because the store was closing. The manager of the store apologized profusely. -I played in the tournament and shot a 102 with a bag full of 4 irons. On Tuesday, I showed them to a Pro at school. He told me they were completely ruined. He sent me to the club repair lab to show them to J.D., J.D. is the school's club fitter. He checked my 6 iron. It was supposed to be 31 degrees. It was 22 degrees. He gathered the class that was about to start to illustrate what happens to a golf club when you bend them wrong. He told me to go back to Dick's and ask them to replace them. All of the clubs were ruined. - I took the clubs back to Dick's. I asked for a manager. Zach and Ken were both some sort of intermediary managers. They went to a back room to determine how to proceed. The store manager and golf manager were not in at the time. They couldn't get ahold of them. They don't carry Titleist Clubs. I told them I need golf clubs for school. Ken did his best to get them back to stock measurement until a decision was made in the morning when the other 2 were back in the office. Ken told me to snap one of the heads off and then Titleist would replace them. He told me that I would receive a call by 10AM. I called the store at about 4 on Wednesday because I hadn't heard from them. I eventually talked to Jim the guy that ruined them. He denied it, of course. Zach, the assistant I talked to the day before, eventually called me back. He finally reached the store manager. The store manager is not going to replace them. They said they would send them to Titleist to have them evaluated. This is a problem. I need clubs every day. I had to purchase a set of Mizuno irons and wedges through the school. They offer a school discount. They don't have an account with Titleist. I can't afford a set of Titleist irons from a retail store. They should be in this week so I can turn in the Titleist clubs to Dicks. - I expect to receive new Titleist 718 irons from Dicks and to be reimbursed for the irons I had to buy to participate in school. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated. Best, Brian Bonney terrible story Im not surprised - I trust nobody with my clubs I grip them myself Dicks is a retail store some guy who worked in baseball dept last week is now the golf expert - sux this happened to you - next time go to licensed club fitter you can talk to prior to any and all club adjustments- good luck Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian A Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 IF this story is true, I think it all comes down to the store. I've gone in for little things, grips, lie adjustments and the guy at our local store does a good job, he warned me he couldn't do more than 2* upright and even then, that could be a stretch. I had issues with my TM irons and they did tell me to go to DSG and the people there couldnt have handled it better! Big box retailers like GG/Dicks get a bad rap but there are some good ones out there. Its the old, bad experience I tell everyone, good experience I tell two people which travels faster.

BrookseyNZ Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Adjustments are FOC with any custom Order and titleist use bullseye which is extremely accurate.... Why the adjustments were not perfect when they arrived is strange.. Also no club can be bent that far..... As for a refund, I agree with calling there customer service hotline and speaking to the customer service manager...

Kor.A.Door Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 My question is who orders custom fitted clubs and doesn't order them to the specs he needs.
