IRVINE, CA – MAY 31, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with over 20 professional tour victories in 2010, announced today that the company notched another 2011 professional tour victory and a Top-10 finish on the Nationwide Tour. Their sixth title came at the Stadion Classic at UGA.
The Golf Digest 2011 “Hot List” recipient MT-28 V5 T.S. Wedge has received worldwide professional tour acceptance as well as support on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and LPGA Tour. According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “Our success these past weeks on the Nationwide Tour can be credited to our wedge and its ability to produce exceptional spin with precision and control. Both the talented amateur who beat the Stadion Classic field and the professional who clinched a Top-10 finish at the BMW Charity Pro-Am both put our wedges into play for these all-important characteristics.”
The highly engineered MT-28V5 T.S. Wedge Series was developed with extraordinary feedback garnered from today’s top professionals. This input helped the design team to produce a wedge that promotes versatility. Whether playing a full or half shot these wedges promote stability and precision.
This classically designed wedge features an enhanced signature FOURTEEN GOLF “reverse taper design.” It 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 new MT-28 V5 T.S. Wedge is also available in two distinct types of soles.
(New H Sole) The H Sole has been engineered for variety and control. Its entire sole portion is flat with a slight heel and toe relief to enable shot management in any type of situation.
(New M Sole) This professionally inspired and tested sole features a slight ridge on the bottom center of the sole. This precisely positioned crest optimizes the M Sole. When a golfer opens the club face it utilizes the back portion of the sole while closing the face uses the front sole portion. This newly appointed element or modification provides easy control of the club face and optimizes the bounce.
In preparation for the new groove rule, the company spent years engineering a new trapezoidal shaped groove so this wedge as well as the entire product line-up of FOURTEEN GOLF would be in compliance with the new regulations effective in 2010 for the professional tours and 2014 for amateurs and tournaments.
The 2011 Golf Digest “Hot List” award winning MT-28 V5 T.S. Wedge Series is available in lofts 48-degrees through 60-degrees and with a black finish.

Wedge is now available in golf specialty stores including; Roger Dunn, Golfers Warehouse, Vans, Puetz Golf and more. They can also be found at green grass locations like the Haggin Oaks Superstore.
