    Hello...

    I'm a traditionalist, which basically means that I like traditional lofts. This means that the current new set of irons have a too strong loft for me. How far can these new blades be bent?

    Would it be possible to bend them weaker 2 degrees? And how would that effect bounce end turf interaction?

    Cheers

    you can have them bent up to 2 degrees in either direction. by bending them weaker you will increase the bounce and vice versa for bending them stronger. it's a 1 to 1 relationship by the way. hope this helps.

    You can custom order them to your specs or possibly send them back for a factory bent spec.

    Does anyone know if the TMb face "hotter" and will it get more distance against an AP2 when bent to the same loft?

    P_Lamps, the only to find out is try them out side by side. I've heard that they are, I haven't hit the 718 T-MB.

    It is interesting that you think that the current MB lofts are strong. If anything, I find that they are a little weak. Yes, as others have said you can bend them but I would look at sending them back to Titleist to have it done.
  7. Did you know the Titleist 718MB irons are weaker than the industry standard?
    For example, most standard PW lofts are 46°, whereas the 718MB PW is 47°.

    Keep in mind, bending irons will effect the bounce of the club. That said, if you're sweeper (don't take a divots) than the bounce isn't going to effect you much, if at all.

    Chances are he has already done it or maybe even on his next set since he asked the question 3 years ago.
