Thanks Arnie, Bob, and Andre. I guess he spoke with the mikesclubsguy. MikesClubs page from 2000 was almost as old as some of my pages. I guess Mike didn’t have any of the bent hosel clubs laying around his shop. The original guy wondered if there’s a way to rig a modern gap wedge with this bent hosel idea. Looks like a tough request.
