Zusammenfassung:	A method of modifying a golf club head including engaging a bending tool with the golf club head and bending at least a portion of a sole of the golf club head by applying force using the bending tool to cause plastic deformation of the sole. The plastic deformation changes a contour of an exterior surface of the sole. According to another aspect, a golf club head includes a striking face including a face center, a top portion, a sole including a leading edge and a trailing edge, and a rear side opposite the striking face. The rear side includes a channel configured to permit bending at least a portion of the sole to cause plastic deformation to change a bounce angle defined as an angle between a virtual sole line and a virtual ground plane when the golf club head is orientated in a reference position.
