Does bending irons to change loft change the offset?


Recommended Posts

If you bent irons 2 degrees strong, would that change the offset?

Thanks

Yes, bending lofts strong adds offset and bending lofts weaker takes away offset. Bending iron lofts will also have an affect on the bounce as well. Strong removes bounce and weak adds bounce.

Would two degrees be a discernible for a good player?

Depends on why you like to look at. There are a lot of “good” players that like offset and also a lot that don’t. It is a personal preference as opposed to a skill level question in my opinion.

I know a very low hdcp guy that plays 2* strong on z785 irons with no problem, it may be different for you

I didn't phrase my question very well. I was wondering how much offset would change with a 2 degree loft adjustment.

 iirc every degree of loft change is .75mm of offset change.

That is about right and it is generally about 1* of bounce per 1* of loft.
