IRVINE, CA – July 14, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with 12 professional tour victories in 2011, announced that their highly popular MT-28 V5 Wedges were played to capture an inspiring second and tenth place finish at the 2011 US Women’s Open Championship.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “It is rewarding to see our wedges used to chase the dream of winning a major and at the US Women’s Open we had 38 professionals relying on them. These numbers validate how effective our wedges are.”
One gifted LPGA and KLPGA Professional led the field with three MT-28 V5 Wedges in her bag when tumultuous weather suspended play. She finished her final round at 3-under — one stroke ahead of her compatriot. The next day she was sent into a three-hole play-off and missed taking home the trophy on the second hole.
“This 25-year almost made her dream come true. We congratulate her for fighting and playing so well through chaotic weather delays and wet conditions.”
The US Women’s Open runner-up and tenth place finisher both played MT-28V5 Wedges in a 54, 56, 58 degree lofts. The MT-28 V5 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.
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 Golf and NS Pro 950GH are available. A proprietary rubber grips finishes these classic wedges.
FOURTEEN GOLF understands the importance of the short game, this significant portion of the game has created an unprecedented demand on most tours for their signature series of wedges. The company prides itself on the (12) titles won this year using their short game arsenal.
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
