Can you bend SIK putter??

smrtchar · April 3, 2023

I have a SIK Pro C-Series armlock putter. I want the lie to be more upright but fitters in my area are scaring me that they don't know much about the putter and if the neck snaps they're not going to be held responsible. Obviously SIK was acquired by LAGolf so reached out to them and they won't give any feedback, due to liability, on any products before their acquisition.

Was wondering if anyone here has adjusted the lie on their SIK putters and if it's been any issues. I want to adjust about 2-3*. Appreciate any feedback!

Not sure about the armlock. Mine was a standard sik pro and it was bent to 76 first then bent again to 74. I guess the plumber neck from sik can take a few bend? Either that or I'm lucky it didn't snap on spot

If it’s the shaft going directly into the head then they’re right to be cautious. If there is a plumbers neck or slant neck you’ll be fine. I bent mine in the past with no issues. Only thing to maybe be concerned about is that the neck is attached with epoxy to the head.

I have a double bend Flo that I ordered at 74. Bought a plumber's neck off eBay that a PGASuperstore measured at 69.25, they bent it to 72 but didn't think they could go past that. I guess I trusted the guy I chatted with who could tell I knew what I was talking about and asked to go slowly/gently and see what he could do? I think 2-3 degrees is likely doable.
