ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for bending hosels of metal wood golf club heads to alter the characteristics of golf clubs incorporating the heads. A club head is clamped into a rigid clamping framework using a pair of clamps which engage the top and the back of the club head. A bending bar having an adjustable throat for engaging the hosel of the club head is then used to bend the hosel as required. The throat of the bending bar is defined by material which is softer than the golf club head to substantially eliminate marring of the club head. The back of the club head is engaged by an elongated pad of polymeric material formed to receive the back of the club head and the top of the club head is engaged by a pair of club head gripping areas formed to spread the top head gripping forces over two relatively large areas. The top gripping areas are formed as a single polymeric pad which is bifurcated to define the gripping areas. The top gripping areas are also separated from one another by a distance which places the gripping forces substantially over the toe and heel portions of the club head which are better able to withstand the application of force without denting or crushing.
