IRVINE, CA – August 17, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with 35 professional tour victories in 2010 and 2011, announced today that the company has been credited with its first victory on the E-Golf Professional Tour. Last weekend at the second annual HGH Hotels Classics at Rock Barn, four award-winning MT-28 V5 T.S Wedges were played to contribute to a rookie’s first professional career title.
The highly competitive field was played on the Robert Trent Jones and Tom Jackson courses at Rock Barn Club & Spa in Conover, NC. The Champion began his final day third round behind the 54-hole leader but his aggressive play, smart shot selection, and short game skills helped him to post a final round of 65. His total scores of 69-67-65 left the former leader and field behind.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “FOURTEEN GOLF applauds this E-Golf Professional. He proved to himself and the tour including his former UGA team mate, he can compete on the big stage and can close on Sunday. His eagle on 18 validated his composure as a pro.”
The HGH Classics at Rock Barn winner played the company’s Golf Digest 2011 “Hot List” recipient – the MT-28 V5 T.S. Wedges. From the moment it was released as a prototype it has received worldwide professional tour acceptance as well as support on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and LPGA Tour
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. 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.
