IRVINE, CA – August 22, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with 35 professional tour victories in 2010 and 2011, announced today that the company claimed a third place finish at the Safeway Classic taking their LPGA Top-10 total count to 12.
The Darrell Survey confirmed that the FOURTEEN GOLF MT-28 V5 Wedge in a 50 and 58-degrees were played on the Ghost Creek Golf Course at Pumpkin Ridge to almost join a three way playoff. However, an unwanted bogey prohibited this LPGA Professional from a run at the title. She did finish in third place — her personal best of the 2011 season.
The FOURTEEN GOLF MT-28 V5 Wedge is well received on all professional tours but remarkable so on the LPGA Tour. At the Safeway Classic, (46) FOURTEEN GOLF Wedges were put into play. That is considerably more than Cleveland, Nike, Adams, Bridgestone, Mizuno and more.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “The professionals on the LPGA rely on the accuracy and control of the MT-28 V5 Wedge. We believe the combination of the ‘Reverse Taper Design’ and new trapezoidal grooves make this wedge out perform its competitors. We congratulate this long time supporter of FOURTEEN GOLF for her Top-10 finish at the Safeway Classic.”
The new 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.
This classically designed 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 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 molybdenum 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.
