Hi Larry, 

I have found that most of the time 1 degree of loft change does make a noticeable difference for the average player. Whether it helps increase or decrease launch and spin or if it causes better turf interaction due to the changing bounce, a loft change often creates a difference. 

Hope this helps.

Larry, my fitter at my Titleist TPI Fitting at Oceanside recommended a one degree weak setting on all my 714 AP2's as a reflection of Bubba's comments.  

It has helped me in a variety of ways!

Thanks, Chris

I think it depends on what exactly you are looking for and how often you play.  If you bent your current irons one degree, you might notice a slight change.  If you are looking for a new set and found one used but it was bent a degree, I think they would still be perfectly fine without you noticing a problem.

I've never actually had my clubs checked (I probably should....).  I know the manufacturing process is never perfect, but that seems to be a rather large gap.  It would be interesting to hear what others have found with new sets and what Titleist's official stance on quality control checks would be.

I think the biggest factor would be how steep you are at impact and what angle of launch that creates.  Then shaft change and one degree of loft could make a difference
