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 at the Navistar LPGA Classic, inaugural PGA Mc Gladrey Classic and the Hi-Mart KLPGA to win and take home the title.
Three wins in one week is something FOURTEEN GOLF is proud to declare. On Sunday, October 10th three golfing professionals trusted their short game to FOURTEEN GOLF and received their largest purse of the 2010 golf season.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “FOURTEEN GOLF is honored that our MT-28 V5 Wedges has helped all of these professionals set up for birdie putts that eventually lead them all to victory.”
The Navistar LPGA Classic was held at the Robert Trent Trail Capital Complex Senator Golf Course in Alabama. The winner shot a 68, 67, 67, and 67. She enjoyed three rounds of bogeyless golf. Her impressive 19-Under score moved her up to 20th on the world rankings.
This was her first 2010 win but fourth career victory. Earlier in the season she took second place at the Ricoh Women’s British Open. Before the LPGA began, this talented LPGA and ALPG Tour Professional enjoyed three runner-up finishes in Australia.
The Hi-Mart Champion enjoyed her second win of the season on the Purunsol Golf Course in South Korean. This talented international professional shot a 13-Under to propel her to the top of the KLPGA money list. With only six tournaments left she could finish the season as No#1 on the KLPGA money list.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “In addition to these three extraordinary victories, FOURTEEN GOLF was credited with three Top-10 finishes at the Navistar – two tied for fifth place and one for eighth. We are SO proud of our tour program as it has really has grown and our business reflects that.”
The PGA Mc Gladrey Classic Champion, Navistar LPGA Classic Champion, and Hi-Mart KLPA Champion all played the new MT-28 V5 Wedge, a signature wedge that 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.
“FOURTEEN GOLF has a strong reputation on tour for its wedges but the Hi-Mart winner actually carries our full line of clubs including the JC-909 Driver, SF-308 Fairway Metal, Hi-550 #3 Hybrid Iron, the new TC-550 Forged Irons #4 through PW, MT-28 V Wedges in both 52 and 58 degrees,” added Kamoda.
