Which individual is best qualified to perform a lie-angle bend on an iron?

• A. Amateur Assistant
• B. Gym Trainer
• C. Club Fitting Assistant
• D. Qualified Clubmaker

Answer: (D)

Lie-angle adjustments require precise measurement and specialized equipment to ensure the clubhead sits correctly at address without risking damage. A bend must be done by someone who understands how changes in lie angle affect other specifications—loft, length, swing weight, and overall playability—and who can verify the result with proper tools. A qualified clubmaker has training, experience, and the right equipment to perform the modification safely, check the accuracy afterward, and maintain the club’s integrity. The other roles typically lack either the necessary tools, the depth of technical knowledge, or the responsibility to alter a club’s geometry, which can lead to improper fits or damaged clubs.
