New to this forum and new JPX919 Hot Metal Pro owner. Do these irons have to be heat treated to have lie angle adjustments made. Thx for the help

Hello,
Is there a limitation on the number of times the JPX900/919 Hot Metal clubs are bent for lie & loft?
1.I heard that it wasn’t recommended to be done more than once or twice.
2. Is there a max number of degrees of loft that these can be adjusted? ( I have a idea of bending the set so that I get even 4 degree steps between GW at 49deg to 5i at 25deg... Maybe it’s a crazy idea? /Niklas

These are made with these lofts for a reason.... because in testing and in data analysis these lifts produce equal gapping. Why change it?

The gapping is not only loft dependent, but also dependent on the individual golfer's swing characteristics -- swing speed, how he delivers the club to the ball, etc. I prefer 10 yard gaps, but I can easily imagine some golfers would prefer 12 or even 15 yard gaps depending on the minimum and maximum yardage the iron set needs to cover.
