IRVINE, CA - JANUARY 6, 2010 - FOURTEEN GOLF,
recognized
worldwide amongst top touring golf professionals as the foremost leading
wedge designer and manufacturer, announced today that the company
will reveal it's new professionally inspired TC-910 Forged Irons at the
2010 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida.
These striking irons were initially developed for the
touring professionals.
The goal was to design a clean cavity back iron that combines a lower
CG and MOI with the classic forged feel.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda, "The
engineering
team met their objective and more. These irons exceed the performance
demands of our professionals but they are also forgiving enough to help
the lower handicapped golfers."
The traditionally shaped iron head is manufactured
with soft Forged S20C
steel and is slightly offset. Its compact head with precisely positioned CG
and MOI provides exceptional workability for shaping any shot. In addition,
the lowered CG height creates ideal spin rates for golfers with faster club
head speeds. For maximum playability the design team employed a round
wide sole.
The new TC-910 Forged Irons feature the company's new
trapezoid
grooves. 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-910 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-910 Forged Iron set is offered in a #3 iron
through pitching wedge. They are finished with an appealing Nickel chrome
satin finish. For a low penetrating ball flight the TC-910 Forged Irons are
built with a high-flex tour weighted Dynamic Gold Steel Shaft. These irons
developed for the better player will be available in January of 2010.
Suggested retail is $1,199.00. For retailers in your area visit the company

"We encourage all attendees to visit the FOURTEEN
GOLF hitting bay. Not only will our new irons be showcased, our entire 2010
new product line will be available to test. Come out to feel what it is
like to play equipment developed on Tour but available for all golfers,"
added Kamoda.
FOURTEEN GOLF in Japan established itself in 1981 as
a premier golf equipment design company. The highly successful venture
developed exclusive designs for Titleist, Yamaha, Srixon (formerly Dunlop
Japan), Wilson, PRGR, and many more. The original team was credited with
developing the first hybrid iron and the highly popular "Citation" cavity
iron by Power Bilt which was one of the most popular irons of the 1980s. In
the year 2000, the business transitioned into branded design and
manufacturing company.
The name "Fourteen" is based on the fundamental rule
of golf which states that the player can carry up to 14 golf clubs in their
bag. FOURTEEN GOLF strives to produce the best 14 clubs ever. FOURTEEN GOLF
aims to achieve the ultimate in club characteristics which allow golfers to
hit shots they didn't think possible.
These clubs bring out the strength in a player. Like
their "feather" moniker which represent the best scores in golf; a birdie,
eagle, and albatross, these clubs will bring out the best scores for any
golfer, professional or amateur.
