Hi All,

bought a Fourteen Hi610H Ute of Supo recently. Great club although a feel I need to adjust the lie angle on it. Has anyone had experience with bending JDM Utes (I need it 2 to 3* flater than standard.)

thanks,

Pete

Not sure if that is forged or cast.

Either way it can be bent. Forged is just much easier than cast. A good club builder should

not have any problem. Only issue when bending past 2* it's possible the chrome could show

a bit of a crinkle in the finish. Chances are slim but just as a heads up.

Thanks I.D.

Hope your H blades are working out!

From what I'm told, woods are not 'bendable'. I'm assuming an ute has the same construction as a wood, not an iron.

Googled that Fourteen Ute, and looks like same idea as my Epon 901... and my Epon has been bent 2 degrees up... and then 3 degrees down again, no problem whatsoever. It's a big advantage over modern hybrids.

If the hosel is metal it can be done.

Easier fir driving iron utes as the lie angle machines can accept it

Trad utes require different attachment setups

If is 9o1 esque it can be done!

typically woods or wood style utes need to have a mold made to hold them properly for bending. one of the problems bending jdm heads is that the exclusivity prevents nearly anyone from making a mold.

Thanks guys, will check with my club fitter although he has had little experience with JDM stuff.
