    When I was fit at TPI oceanside I was impressed how quickly and easlily they bent the clubs to fit me before I tried each iron. I noticed what machine they were using and have been keeping an eye open for one. I finally found one on ebay the other day for the price of a new 910. It arrived yesterday in pristine, like-new condition. I opened it up, clamped it down with a couple of c clamps and in 60 minutes I went through my son's entire bag and adjusted every one of his irons. Most were perfect (what else would you expect from Titleist and Vokey?) but I adjusted all of them 1 deg flat as we'd been planning to do for a while (he just turned 11 and isn't very tall). Now I'll start planning adjustments to my wedges to get my gaps more evened out. First I think I hit my PW too far so I'll weaken it a degree. Over the years I've often had ideas to bend a club or two but generally never acted on it. Now I'll be able to do it (and undo it) at will. I highly recommend the Mitchell loft/lie machines and I think all the professionals who use them are reading this saying, "Well, duh" because they are well known as the best by far. I'm a physicist and very mechanically inclined and even have a machine shop in my garage so not eveyone will find bending clubs as easy to achieve as I did but if you can change a tire on a car, you can figure it out. --Jerry

    Hey Jerry, With your new Mitchell machine, you and Tommy should be breaking the course record soon!
  3. Jerry, 

     

    The Mitchell company is a few minutes down the road from where I work and the owner Ed Mitchell is a great guy...they have always stood for high quality products for many years.   In fact, like yourself and many others, I have one of their loft/lie bending machines and it is worth every penny!  

    One of the benefits of having a machine is that I never realized how often my irons bend during the course of normal play and rangework during the summer .... thus, I find myself bending my irons back into their desired specs frequently and I feel it increases my confidence as a result. 

     

    Enjoy!
