Played today early in the morning. I was in a lie behind a tree. Had a clear opening for a perfect 8 iron shot into the green. I swung and my club clipped the tree and bent the steel shaft of the club. It was bent slightly to the side, so at adress, i had to move the ball about 1/4 inch back to get the club straight.
Through some labor, i managed to push the shaft so it is nearly perfectly straight. If you would look at it now, it looks perfectly normal.
Even though it looks normal ---
1. Will my shots still be affected? As in will good swings become pushes/pulls, even if the shaft is now back to normal?
2. Will the shaft break? and
3. Will i need a new shaft?
The shaft still seems as strong as any shaft in my bag. You would barely (if at all) even notice the bend in the shaft.
