Knuckleneck lie adjustment.

[AmateurAmateur]

Title pretty much says it all. Curious if there’s any way to adjust the loft and lie angle of a knuckle neck.

Sent mine away to get a knuckle neck conversion put on it as I was interested in the lighter neck weight. Upon return, the putter felt a touch upright so I checked it out and sure enough the lie angle is 2° more upright than I had asked for. 
A little annoyed as I was reassured when sending it away that 68° lie angle wasn’t a problem and definitely doable. $450 and 14 weeks later I’m seeing that may have been an overstatement. 
Anyone have any suggestions that don’t involve sending it away and spending another $450?

That has always been a downside to the Knuckle-type neck configuration.  The only way to adjust lie angle is to put a little curve in the shaft section of the neck and not everyone is OK with that look.  Loft adjustments are the same method.   IMHO, this is what kept Scotty from really promoting this type neck.  You wind up having to make the piece at the top of the neck, in 5-6 different lie angles and anytime you do that, you wind up with overstock of pieces that may never, ever sell.  

Post some pix and maybe guys will be able to chime in and suggest a fix or method of adjustment that I have not thought of.

I also asked for sole draft to be grinded out a bit to prevent the face from closing which wasn’t as successful as I hoped (hence the lead tape on the bottom). Unfortunately I’m coming to think that the putter sitting a bit  closed is just a trade off of what to expect from preferred head shape double wide.

Whoever did the work should have made it to your desired lie angle. Have you contacted the company? Charging $450 and sending out something different than ordered should be taken care of free of charge.

Yeah it's being taken care of. He swears he bent it to the desired lie angle and I believe him. Honestly I chalked it up to the trisole design and how it fit in the machine at my local shop. I'd take his word on it over theirs.
