IRVINE, CA – October 15, 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-28 V5 Wedge was played to capture another PGA Tour victory taking the company win total to 15.
Three straight 66s and a final 68 is what it took to claim the inaugural Mc PGA Gladrey Classic title, just one stroke ahead of Bill Haas. His 14-Under 266 takes him to within the Top-30 on the PGA Tour money list. This all important position will help the Mc Gladrey winner qualify for the 2011 Masters.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “We are thrilled that he used our MT-28 V5 Wedge to set up for all those birdie putts. On Sunday during the front nine he used his short game tools to take a three-shot lead. We congratulate him on this special victory and thank him for supporting FOURTEEN GOLF.”
The Mc Gladrey victory is his first win of the 2010 PGA Tour season. It is his fourth career title. This 36 year old PGA Professional is used to exceeding under pressure. Last year during the 2009 Fed Ex Cup race he won the Barclays Championship – taking out Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington and Steve Stricker.
The Mc Gladrey title was taken with the new MT-28 V5 Wedge which 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 Gold and NS Pro 950GH are available. A proprietary rubber grips finishes these classic wedges.
“In addition to celebrating our 15th company win, FOURTEEN GOLF also enjoyed a Top-5 finish using our wedges.” added Kamoda.
