IRVINE, CA – August 16, 2010 – FOURTEEN GOLF, recognized as a worldwide leader in wedge design and a known favorite amongst top touring golf professionals, proudly announced that FOURTEEN GOLF and its golf equipment has been played in every major this year, including this week’s Top-10 finish at the PGA Championship 2010.
FOURTEEN GOLF is a boutique or burgeoning golf equipment company that takes great pride in their tour program. Its success is critical to the company’s overall growth initiative. The feed back they receive from the touring professionals furnish key information for the research and development team as well as provides keen visibility. In the past week, a FOURTEEN GOLF MT-28 V5 Wedge was featured in the media including; PGATour.com, Golf World Monday, the LA Times and more.
The PGA Tour program is managed by PGA Tour Representative Rusty Estes. He has worked diligently for FOURTEEN GOLF over the past five years building relationships amongst the world’s best golfers. Estes, a veteran in the golf industry can be credited for having FOURTEEN GOLF represented in every major of the 2010 golf season.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “We are thankful to Rusty, the PGA Tour Program and all the professionals who rely on FOURTEEN GOLF equipment to play their best. Without this team effort, we wouldn’t be experiencing such tremendous growth and success.”
This Top-10 finish at the fourth major marks the company’s 58th overall Top-10 of the 2010 golf season. It came with some impressive play and low numbers. A loyal FOURTEEN GOLF PGA Professional shot one of the lowest scores on the first day of play and then posted an equally imposing score on the second.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “The PGA Championship 2010 will be remembered for its spectacular images of Whistling Straits, the weather delays and the dramatic ending but what we will remember is a FOURTEEN GOLF PGA Professional atop of the leaderboard for two rounds. It is so enjoyable to see a pro use our equipment to hole out or to connect three birdies in a row to post such remarkable scores.”
This PGA Professional known as the best “scrambler” on tour has officially made the Ryder Cup Team. His consistent and steady play secured his spot to play against Team Europe this October in Wales.
“It is personally gratifying to work with a golfer all season and watch him succeed. I know it has been his dream to play on the Ryder Cup and to experience his dream come true is truly remarkable,” stated Estes.
To secure a berth on the Ryder Cup team this talented PGA Professional worked diligently and played consistently. He compiled nine Top-10 finishes in 21 events. Even more incredibly, he attained six of them in his last eight starts including one at the US Open. In each of these finishes, he played a tour specific 3 Type #4 Hybrid Iron and the tour favorite MT-28 V5 Wedge with sixty degrees loft.
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.
