IRVINE, CA – August 9, 2010 – FOURTEEN GOLF, recognized as a worldwide leader in wedge design and a known favorite amongst top touring golf professionals, proudly announced that the WGC Bridgestone Invitational provided the company its 57th Top-10 finish of the 2010 professional golf season.
The WGC Bridgestone Invitational provided PGA Professionals the perfect platform and preparation for the upcoming 92nd PGA Championship. Its select field of players enjoyed the challenging test of the South Course at Firestone Country Club. Some worked their game, some collapsed and some posted remarkably low scores.
One PGA Professional and FOURTEEN GOLF enthusiast shot three rounds in the 60s; a 69, 67, 66 and finished the tournament with a 73. His steady and consistent level of play has produced 8 PGA Tour Top-10s for the season, four in his last six starts.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “The company and I applaud this PGA Professional for his outstanding play. This past weekend, he played against the world’s best golfers and gained the #1 ranking in the ‘all-around’ category. That is a remarkably achievement!”
To attain the WGC Bridgestone Invitation tie for ninth place, this PGA Professional used a tour specific 3 Type #4 Hybrid Iron and the tour favorite MT-28 V5 Wedge with sixty degrees loft.
“The MT-28 V5 Wedge has enjoyed worldwide tour success. Its new head with the reverse taper design combined with the new trapezoidal grooves provides these professionals exceptional control, spin, and distance, adds Kamoda”
The classically designed MT-28 V5 Wedge features the signature FOURTEEN “reverse taper design” but has been improved by adding a groove strategically located in between the club sole and blade portion of the wedge. This structural change allowed the engineers to move the CG to a higher more stabilizing position for more precise shots.
The sole of the MT-28 V5 possesses a flatter shape with a trailing edge and heel relief. This new dynamic combination allows any player to fully utilize the club’s bounce and execute pure or solid shots out of any type of rough.
The MT-28 V5 boasts a rounded leading edge that promotes confidence at address and its clubface has been engineered so that the player can easily open or close the face. The head is manufactured with a Nickel chrome moliben alloy which conforms to the 2010 USGA club regulations. It is available in both a chrome and non-plated black finish.
In preparation for the new groove policy on the professional tours such as the PGA and LPGA, the company spent years engineering a new trapezoidal shaped groove for the MT-28 V5 Wedge. This distinctively sharp-edged trapezoidal groove also undergoes a mirror-face milling process which precisely and carefully mills each groove for optimal spin.
The professionally designed MT-28 V5 comes in a variety of lofts, a 48, 50, 52, 54, 56 (2), 58 (2) and a 60 degree. Two steel shafts, a Dynamic Golf and NS Pro 950GH are available. A proprietary rubber grips finishes these classic wedges.
