IRVINE, CA – JANUARY 4, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with over 20 professional tour victories in 2010, announced today that the company has received two 2011 Golf Digest “Hot List” awards. The first recipient is the tour driven and inspired MT-28 V5 T.S. wedge and the second is the easy to play TC-510 Forged Irons.
These traditional looking forged irons resemble a players iron suited for a professional but the TC-510 Forged Irons are designed to provide the average mid-handicap golfer with playability and the Golf Digest judges recognized this immediately. The panel awarded these forged beauties with an impressive four stars for performance within the “Game Improvement” category.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “This exclusive award validates the playability of TC-510 Forged Irons. Our testing proved that these irons launch the ball easily. Our engineers credit this to the new iron head that features a wide sole design with a low deeply positioned CG and so did the Golf Digest Tech Talk.”
For increased forgiveness, trajectory, and stability the 4-iron through the
7-iron feature an under cut shape within the sole that widens the sweet spot. This unique design allows golfers an opportunity to now hit the ball successfully off of any lie and a tester from the Golf Digest “Hot List” panel personally experienced this, “The turf interaction was better than any other iron out here. I was hitting 6-irons out of a divot with no problem.”
The stylish TC-510 Forged Irons are manufactured with a super soft (S25C) alloy. This exceptional material provides the sensational feel and sound associated with forged irons and again, the one Golf Digest tester experienced this firsthand, “There’s a boutique feel to these irons, and I like that.”
In addition to playability and performance, the TC-510 Forged Irons were recognized for their appearance, sound, and feel. They received four and a half stars, this is a higher ranking than some of the largest golf companies in the industry; more than the Adams IDEA A7, Cleveland’s CG16, Nike’s VR Pro Cavity, Callway’s RAZR X Tour, and Ping’s Anser.
Another critical segment in the Golf Digest “Hot List” testing is what makes a particular product “Hot” – here is why the TC-510 Forged Irons were considered “Hot.” “A great example of where technology doesn’t hamper design. This is a club that provides a tour sound even when you’re not hitting like a tour player. The feel every player craves, too”
These 2011 Golf Digest “Hot List” award winning irons are available in a nickel chrome satin finish with a mirror finish back face. The set comes in a #4 Iron through a PW. To suit your swing type, the TC-510FG Irons are available in two types of shafts, a N.S. Pro 950GH steel shaft in (R or S) or MD-370gi graphite shaft in (R or S).
They will be shipping into retail during the winter and will available for testing at the PGA Merchandise Show Demo Day on Wednesday, January 26 at the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge in Orlando, FL. Show attendees can also test the 2011 Golf Digest “Hot List” award winning MT-28 V5 T.S. Wedges and TC-510 Forged Irons at the Equipment Testing Center at Hitting Bay #9 during the PGA Merchandise Show at the Orange County Convention Center.
