Question on Bending Lie Angle

[JD3]

I recently purchased a set of Callaway Apex Pro Combo irons and didn't realize the lie angle is 1 degree flat relative to competitor irons like Titleist and Taylormade. The retailer I purchased thru is telling me they can bend them more upright (I want them 1.5 more upright), and it will be the same outcome as sending them back to Callaway, just a much faster turnaround.

 

My questions: is it a fairly straightforward process that I should trust a good retailer to be able to manage? Will the clubs look the as good as new or will there be a "kink" where they were bent?

Many retailers send clubs to a club builder for adjustments and repairs.  If they tell you who they are sending them to, so you can use that person later if needed, great.  If they don't share who, I am not one to trust that. 

 

I'd rather take the clubs to someone I chose, so I know the work is done to my satisfaction.

A good clubmaker will bend them without leaving a mark.  Most out there aren't good clubmakers.  If they can't promise to not mark them up, move on.
