IRVINE, CA – September 30, 2010 – FOURTEEN GOLF, recognized as a worldwide leader in wedge design and a known favorite amongst top touring golf professionals, announced today that their signature MT-V5 Wedge was played to earn the company’s twelfth win of the 2010 golf season.
The inclement weather at the Comcast Classic forced a FOURTEEN GOLF professional to play 36 holes in one day. The erratic storm contrasted the steady, consistent, control the winner displayed with his MT-28 V5 Wedge. His precision around the greens helped him to combat the wet conditions and take home his first NGA Hooters Tour Title.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “We are THRILLED that FOURTEEN GOLF and its MT-28 V5 Wedges helped this professional win his first professional tour victory. What a major accomplishment! We wish him the very best for the rest of the season.”
The Comcast Classic Champion carded a -4 under 68 to earn his largest purse of the season. This former Fighting Illini golfer has three Top-10 finishes on the NGA/Hooters Tour. This win has taken him toward the top of the money list and should secure him a spot for next year.
Both a FOURTEEN GOLF MT-28 V5 Wedge in a 54 and 60 degree was played to win the Comcast Classic. The new MT-28 V5 represents a long legacy of winning wedges. Its predecessor, the MT-28 V4 is known on several professional Tours as the “go to club” or the “money maker.” Its exceptional performance has positioned FOURTEEN as the wedge authority.
This classically designed 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 helps produce spin as well as control.
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.
