IRVINE, CA – July 28, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with 14 professional tour victories in 2011, announced today that according to the Darrell Survey, the FOURTEEN GOLF MT-28 V5 Wedge was played at the Children’s Hospital Invitational to wrap up another win.
The Champion started one shot behind the leader who not only maintained the lead all three days but set some course and tournament records. The two amateur golfers battled it out hole by hole during the fourth round but it was the FOURTEEN GOLF enthusiast and supporter who navigated the tree lined classically designed Ohio State University Scarlet Course brilliantly posting a 66, 66, 68 and a 1-under par 70 on the final day to capture the victory – one stroke better than his opponent.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “Our wedges win on Tour because our patented trapezoidal grooves and signature reverse taper design which promote precision around the greens and set any golfer up with makeable birdie putts. The Children’s Hospital Invitational Champion used his MT-28 V5 Wedge to do exactly that.”
The same MT-28 V5 Wedge was used to win both the Indonesian Open last week and the Children’s Hospital Invitational 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 MT-28 V5 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 Wedge 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 Wedge 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 ten 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.
