    I have a problem where I have 15 clubs in my bag.  I currently carry a 8.5 driver, 3 wood, 5 wood, 22 degree hybrid, 4-PW ap2, gap wedge, sand wedge, and a lob wedge, along with my putter.  I just bought the AP2s and hit the 4 iron great.  My mom bought be the 22 degree 585H hybrid for my birthday a few years back, it has been one of my favorite clubs in my bag, but is essentially the same thing as my 4 iron.  I was wondering if I could bend my hybrid to make it 19 degrees from the 22, make it a 2-3 iron instead of the 4 iron pitch it is now.  I could yank my 5 wood out of my bag and come back to 14 clubs in my bag.  I heard that bending hybrids are incredible difficult but that Titleist could probably do it, from the pro at the golf club I work at.  Could anybody let me know how I should go about getting in contact with someone at Titleist or what they think I should do.

    Thanks so much,

    First, do you hit the 4 iron as far as you do the 585H? 

    Do you have more of a warm fuzzy with the 22?  I personally am one of those who hates to give up a favorite club (it was painful trading in my 7 wood but I ended up better with the 5-18 and 4-21 after I had them tweaked).  I have the AP1 6 and 7 irons but have been using  SQ2 26 and 34 hybrids and am super consistent with the latter two. 

    Most fitters will refuse to bend cast irons, let alone a hybrid (let Titleist confirm it).  It would be way cheaper to buy a 585H 19* hybrid used at Golf Mart as opposed to attempting to bend the hybrid.  

    The other option is to have the lofts adjusted on the irons.

    I personally wouldn't give up the 5 wood.
