I lost my 9 Iron a couple days ago and have been thinking about what to do to replace my 9 iron. I currently play Titleist 695mb irons. I already searched the single iron selling websites that titleist suggested and neither have any 695mb 9 iron in stock. I did some thinking and I thought what if I take my PW to golfsmith and get it bent 3-4 degrees?
I was already planning on getting DG X100's or KBS Tour shafts Xstiff
to put into my irons and get them regripped. I figure when I take my
irons to get the new shafts put in, I'll ask a golfsmith rep to bend
my PW loft 3-4 degrees and just put the 9 iron length shaft in the bent PW.
Anybody think this is a good idea? I figured I'd just buy a 48 degree
vokey wedge to replace my PW. I could play without a 9 iron and just choke up
on my 8 iron but that's not really a great system when you play
competitively. I was thinking of getting new irons but I love my
695mb's. I looked up the bounce, offset, and swingweight difference between the 9 iron and PW(posted below) but I don't see much difference between the 2 that it will alter the offset, bounce or swingweight of my PW if I get it bent to a 9 iron. If I do decide to get my PW bent into a 9 iron, do you think there would be any problems in terms of performance or even looks? Thanks any info or input will be very helpful.
