IRVINE, CA – APRIL 10, 2012 – FOURTEEN GOLF, the worldwide leader in wedge design with over 38 professional tour victories captured over the past two seasons, announced today that the company is releasing a new set of irons designed for playability and forgiveness, the TC-530FG Forged Irons.
These traditionally inspired, cavity backed forged irons feature a wide sole set combined with a lower CG. The TC-530FG Forged Irons actually has the lowest CG placement amongst all of FOURTEEN GOLF’s irons. It also is placed much deeper than typical irons so golfers with club head speeds of 38-42 m/sec will be able to produce a higher launch as well as produce consistent and targeted iron shots.
For optimal forgiveness, the sweet spot on the TC-530FG Forged Irons has been expanded as compared to its predecessor the TC-510FG Forged Irons and a precise CG and MOI generate an amazing feel at impact. According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, “This dynamic arrangement between the CG and MOI provides a pure and solid strike. We’ve had some limited samples available at our demo days and the feedback has been amazing. Most golfers are finding these irons also consistent and easy to play. We look forward to getting them shipped into retail and into the consumer’s hands this April.”
Typically shorter irons are easier to control as compared to middle and long irons which require faster swing speeds. To compensate for the difficulty in hitting the lengthier irons, each iron within the TC-530FG Forged Iron set varies in length by 0.55 inches beginning with the P/A.
This engineering feature allows golfers can hit each and every shot like it was a short iron and with more consistency and less miss-hits.
The aesthetically striking TC-530FG Irons are classically shaped and complimented with a nickel chrome non-plated satin finish enhanced with a mirrored back face. The iron head is manufactured with soft S25C forged steel
and features the company’s new trapezoid grooves which conform to the new groove rule. This distinctive sharply-edged trapezoidal groove undergoes a mirror-face milling process which precisely and carefully mills each groove for optimal spin.
The company spent years engineering a new trapezoidal shaped groove so the TC-530FG Forged Irons as well as FOURTEEN GOLF’s total product line would be in compliance with the new groove regulations effective in 2010 for the professional tours and 2014 for amateurs and tournaments.
The TC-530FG Forged Iron set is offered in a #4 iron through pitching wedge. The P/A is sold separately. The high performance NS Pro-950GH steel shaft is available in both stiff and regular and suggested retail is $1,199.00. A MD-370gi carbon graphite shaft is also available upon request and suggested retail is $1,439.00.
FOURTEEN GOLF is a burgeoning golf equipment company that takes great pride in their tour program. This year FOURTEEN GOLF officially signed
Japanese golfing prodigy and PGA Professional Ryuji Imada to a three year endorsement deal which includes a staff bag, head covers, hat, umbrella and wedges. He joins FOURTEEN GOLF team members PGA Professionals Chad Collins and Arjun Atwal.
