IRVINE, CA – August 30, 2010 – FOURTEEN GOLF, recognized as a worldwide leader in wedge design and a known favorite amongst top touring golf professionals, announced today that within the last two weeks FOURTEEN GOLF wedges have been used to secure two PGA Tour victories.
Last week, FOURTEEN GOLF celebrated its ninth professional tour victory of the 2010 season with a win at the Wyndam Championship and this week’s win at the Barclays Championship take the total to TEN.
The winner and FOURTEEN GOLF supporter put together the best season of his career. His four consecutive rounds in the sixties helped him win the Barclays Championship and vaulted him in the 2010 FedEx Cup Playoff point standings.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “Last week FOURTEEN GOLF and its wedges helped a professional golfer reach his dream of winning a PGA Tour event. This week, the Barclays Champion trusted his MT-28 V5 Wedge and Hi Type 3 #4 Iron to earn his third PGA Tour victory of his career and lead the PGA Tour in the most Top-10s of the 2010 PGA Tour season. We are proud to be part of his success.”
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.
“The MT V5 Wedge received an amazing amount of media coverage at the Barclays Championship. The Konica Minolta Swing Vision Camera captured the FOURTEEN GOLF wedge right at impact, repeatedly. Its signature ‘reverse taper’ stands out on camera. It means so much to a boutique company like ours to receive this type of coverage and support,” adds Kamoda.
FOURTEEN GOLF is a boutique or burgeoning golf equipment company that takes great pride in its tour programs. The company has tour representation throughout the world and as the world watched the Barclays Championship, two LPGA Professionals played FOURTEEN GOLF equipment at the CN Canadian Women’s Open to claim Top-10 finishes, taking the 2010 Top-10 Finish List to a record 64.
