IRVINE, CA – July 7, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with 12 professional tour victories in 2011 including these two inspiring wins, announced today that their MT-28V5 T.S. wedges were used on the NGA/Hooters Tour at the Texas Honing Open and Victoria Texas Open to take the titles.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “The NGA/Hooters Tour and their tournaments are a great way to reach the dream of becoming a PGA Professional. It grooms these talented golfers and teaches them to compete on a larger scale. FOURTEEN GOLF is proud to be credited with both of these wins.”
The Texas Honing Open Champion used MT-28V5 T.S. Wedges in both a 54 and 58 degree lofts. His 15-under par 273 included two impressive rounds in the 60s – 67 and 65. His wedge play took a lot of pressure of his putting which accounted for his six stroke lead going into the last round. This important win was his first since 2007 but more importantly it qualified him for an exemption to play on the Nationwide Tour at the Wichita Open.
“It is so rewarding to see our MT-28V5 T.S. Wedges used to help golfers gain their confidence and win again,” added Kamoda.
To say the Victoria Texas Open Champion played lights is an understatement. This talented golfer played his MT-28 V5 T.S. Wedges to post a 67, 66, 65, and final 66 to leave the second place finisher six strokes behind. He too hadn’t celebrated a victory in some time – since 2009.
Both NGA/Hooters Tour Champions played the highly engineered MT-28V5 T.S. Wedge Series which were 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.
FOURTEEN GOLF is a burgeoning golf equipment company that takes great pride in their tour program. The company has recently signed PGA Professionals Chad Collins and Arjun Atwal.
These two additions to the FOURTEEN GOLF professional staff proves that the FOURTEEN GOLF tour program is succeeding which is critical to the company’s overall growth initiative. The feed back they receive from the touring professionals furnish key information for the research and development team as well as provides keen visibility
