how much can i change, MacGregor Forged 1025Cs, PW=45* now, is 48* OK?

If the club is forged carbon steel you can go as much as 4 degrees and not damage it. If it is a cast club, and something other then a Ping, I wouldn't bend it more then 2 degrees. Be mindful though, for every degree you increase in loft, you will be increasing bounce by the same. It could make the club very difficult to hit from a tight lie.

Ok, thanks! "...every degree you increase in loft, you will be increasing bounce by the same...."

That's correct, and if you decrease loft you decrease bounce by the same amount.

hmm
since i am a steeper/digger (though i wish to be a sweeper that picks up clean, just shaving off the grass) now that maybe good. I luv my 56*-12* sand wedge for all partial wedge shots from FW or roughs and I avoid my 60*-6* lob wedge like a plague (digs way under da ball or I thin it for 60~80 yards, way over the green)

I'm planning on +3* for PW, +2* for short and +1* for long irons. Don't ask why..i've already got this plan stuck in my head (to have nearly the same lofts as of my old 670s)

does anyone have Bounce* specs for MacGregor 1025C Forged? Starting to really like my 1025Cs.
where can i find a 1025C 2-iron: new or used?

Check their website. If they don't have it listed they will have a contact link where you can email the question. However, your best bet is to take your set to a club shop and have them checked on a loft/lie machine, then you will know exactly where your set is in respect to loft, lie, and bounce.

I couldn't find bounce specs for the Mac 1025, but for comparison sake here are the specs for the Mizuno Mp 30 with bounce followed by what I could find on the 1025s. I know this is apples and oranges but I thought it might give you something to start with.

Thank you

I've gotten the Bounce angle by calling MacGregor Customer Service -- good service:

3I: 1
4I: 1
5I: 2
6I: 2.5
7I: 3
8I: 4
9I: 5
PW: 6

Since Loft and Bounce relate 1:1 and more than 2* loft changes may, however slight, harm the chrome, I'll limit my loft changes to 2*...

i may have my 62* degree lobber bent to 60.. that might really help

i may, later when i break 90, start using a 58* lob with high bounce (10*~12*), but then i'll want a 54* sand wedge, high bounce

two wedge's plenty for now. three, when and if i know what to do with all of them. four wedges sounds crazy confusing to me, but what ever works: in golf, the "ends" (good score) really do justy the means (having fun with a good swing).

when in doubt and I can not reach my teaching pro Nik then i read over what late Harvey Penick or Jack Nickelson wrote. Harvey likes it simple...

My next club will be a steel 975F 42.5"...but dunno to go with 12.5* or 13.5* and Stiff or Regular flex...to replace my driver that can also pinch for a long FW shot. All I know is having a 975F 20.5* has dropped my Index by at least 10+. (nothing wrong with my 980F 15*...just getting curious, that's all)

If you don't damage the chrome, you will want to check these lofts every couple weeks. Chrome is a hardcase around the soft metal, and chrome has a memory once hardened, and will want to return to it's original place.

i usually only keep my pitching, sand and extreme lob in the bag.. the gap only comes out with certain conditions like a shorter course.. same with my 5 wood.. i usually will put the 2 iron in instead.. but when im out with the guys i take everything, when competing though its as i say
