Changing Lie On Irons

Can the lie be changed on irons that have already been manipulated? It has just been brought to my attention that someone on eBay is selling the RAC LT irons I'm going to buy, but they're 2* flat and I need something in the range of 1* flat to standard. If they could be altered by a local club maker I could save a whole bunch of cash.

EW,

Forged irons can be done easily, stainless steel cast heads are a different story. My Hogans (forged) have to be checked about every 8 months. Just from hitting them the lie and loft changes. My wedges are 703 stainless steel. They play soft but can't be bent the head would snap off the hosel. I wanted my 52* to play as a 50*. My clubmaker refused to do it. He has done pro clubs when they play the classic in New Orleans.

Just call a clubmaker and ask them.

Exactly as Golfbald says, forged irons are easier than the rest. If they are not forged there is no telling whether they will snap. Take them to a good clubmender or your PGA pro shop and they will likley be able to move them 1 or 2 degrees - before purchasing ask the person who will do the job, first...

Thanks guys. I phoned my pro shop (an authorized Taylormade retailer) and they told me it wouldn't be a problem to bend them a degree or two, so I bid on the hooks and won, and will be taking them in to be adjusted when they arrive.

I buy a used club as a tester if i'm going to splash out on a new set ... kinda like a test drive. What I look for are bulges in the hosel. If I find one I disregard the club because I know it will snap eventually.

I live in the town where stainless steel was invented and all my family were rought up around the steel industry so I can tell good metal when I see it. Stainless steel holds a sharp edge so it's good for knives etc but it's very brittle and not easily manipulated.
