I purchased a GS lie loft bending earlier this spring. Checked all my irons and was amazed at how far off the loft and lie was on the forged blades. Hogan Apex plus, Mizzy MP14, AND particularly the Vokey wedges. On the wedges the lie was off up to 8* and the lofts up to 3*. Also the effort to bend the Vokeys back to my specs was minimal. I will be checking the forged clubs routinely. The Forged Hogan CFT Edges(cavity backs with a heavier head) were fairly close.
Last year I was not hitting the 8 iron on my CFT set with a distance between the 9 iron and 7 iron. So I had brought it to a local clubmaker to set the loft midway between the 7 and 9. No help so I just lived with it the rest of the year. This spring I checked the loft of the 8i myself and found it to be 2* closer to the 9i than the 7 iron. I adjusted to a midpoint and so far all is good. My yardage gaps are back.
The lie loft tool with this adjustment alone for me was worth the purchase price. The 8 iron is one of the most used irons in my bag. Also bringing my wedges back to specs works for me also. I beleve later on in the season when it warms up I will be checking distances and further tweaking the lofts. Distance control is a paramount for good golf.
