Normal 850 or the forged ones?

If its the forged then as long as its done properly I cant see a problem

You probably could, but why would You?

Are You an exceptionally tall person or is there issues with Your health? I would recommend to figure out a way to shallow the attack angles in your swing to strike more around your body than vertical.

We're just about to switch to the JPX900 Forged.

But either model can be bent by 2 degrees - and we have a head that is already 2 degrees upright (a lighter version that caters for long custom shafts). 

So you can order a head 4 degrees upright.  But we don't recommend bending by 4 degrees.

I just recieved my JPX900 HotMetals.  They Look beautiful, however I'm sure they came in with the wrong specs.

I specified +1 in length and 2 degrees upright. 

The enclosed work order shows  2 Flat under Lie.

They were supposed to be 2 Up (or an actual degree on the 6 iron of 63.5 according to the info I submitted) I understand this was a data entry error.

I was told by the person who submitted the order due to the +1 length, they would have installed the heads that are already 2 degrees up.   So if they bent them -2, I'm assuming I'm back to standard.

I did hit the 6 and shots were digging a bit at the toe.  

So two questions, can these Hot Metals with the Chromoly material be bent back up 2 degrees, and should I send them back to Mizuno or have an authorized fitter do it.

Thanks for any direction.
