IRVINE, CA – October 5, 2011 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with 36 professional tour victories in 2010 and 2011, announced today that the company’s highly popular MT-28V5 Wedge was played at the WNB Golf Classic on the Nationwide Tour to capture both a second and tenth place finish – taking their Top-10 Finish Count to 53.
The Nationwide Touring Professional who tied the Midland Country Club course record with a 62 and missed taking home the title on the first play-off hole played a 60-degree FOURTEEN GOLF MT-28V5 Wedge.
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.
“Our Nationwide Tour program continues to grow. I have to thank both of our Nationwide Tour Reps Rusty Estes and Steve Loerzel for their hard work and support. Without either of them, this second and tenth place finish wouldn’t have happened. I also congratulate this talented golfer for his excellent performance and for receiving an exemption to play at the next event,” stated FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda.
The FOURTEEN GOLF MT-28V5 edge 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 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.
