SMT durometer wedges

[MIKE1218]

I got one of these in a 51* a while ago and did a sick grind on it. I'm planning on giving the whole head a brushed/satin finish so I don't have to polish the grind areas so much. I will post some pics when I get my new camera in a couple weeks.

I got a rifle spinner for it from Rock, never tried one of these before. I'm thinking it might be a little soft, but we'll see how it goes after I've hit it and seen the ballflight.

This leads me to my predicament. If anybody is familiar with these wedges, you will notice that they have a plastic insert, right where one would bend the hosel. I was planning to have this club bent to 54*, and I didn't even take that into consideration. If I get it bent, is this insert going to fall out, get distorted, etc.?

Anybody know about that insert?

Thanks. Not sure why I didn't just email them in the first place. I got some good info. I would recommend SMT based on their customer service alone. My email was returned in 15 minutes and they have offered to bend my wedge for free. Hope they like my grind. :shocked:

Cool. Did they say it might fall out? I have a 59° that I don't need bent at all, but I'd hate to go have the loft/lie corrected one day and have the little doobie fall out.

They didn't say anything about it, but seeing as they bend them at their headquarters all the time, I will assume it is a non-issue.
