    I have a general question and a specific question. Do iron sets come from the manufacturer in the standard settings, and then adjusted for stronger or weaker lofts and upright or flatter lies later in the process?

    Also, if I want to adjust an existing set of clubs with a stronger or weaker loft. Is this something a local golf shop can handle? Finally, if I acquired a used set of clubs that were say 2* upright and I wanted them adjusted back to a standard lie would this be a simple process as well?

    Curious as to how all this adjustment occurs and it’s affect on the clubs. Thanks.

    Titleist builds to what the order says. Many of their heads are already built to standard or 2 degree upright or 2 degree flat. As they assemble each club they adjust the bend tolerances to make sure each head matches that order. These are fractional adjustments. Cast heads can be bent up to 2 degrees but if not careful, the hosel can crack. Make sure if you take your clubs somewhere to have the lofts or lies adjusted, that they have a guarantee in case any are cracked. Titleist offers this service too. Contact the warranty/care/repair link at the bottom of the website.

    All lofts and lies can be adjusted at any shop that has a loft and lie machine. Typically, Mitchell based clamp system. There are a bunch of other brands in the market now but it's very common.

    Typically, you don't want to make a 4* plus change but it can be done. Especially with forged clubs. Cast clubs are a bit riskier to make severe adjustments. I've never had any clubs break when I was a fitter but just words of caution.

    But 2* I don't' see why not. Should only take about 30 minutes to an hour max to do a set of irons if you find the right place.
