FRZ

  • WEDGE
  • NEW

Newly designed shape with milled tapered blade
The center of gravity is intentionally designed away from the actual impact point. One of the purposes is to increase maneuverability by placing the center of gravity on the heel side, and to accommodate the various techniques intended by players. New design also facilitates to control the amount of spin depending on the technical shot. In addition, by separating the center of gravity from the actual impact point, the gear effect helps to improve spin performance.

【 STORY 】

Pioneer of spin wedges

　22 years ago, Fourteen released a spin wedge called “MT-28.” It was the first wedge to feature a “U-groove” with sharp edges on the face grooves, creating overwhelming performance that allowed anyone, regardless of skill, to hit professional-level spin shots. Tour players were amazed by the spin performance, which was so overwhelming that it was the most used wedge on the Japan PGA Tour.
　The “MT-28” revolutionized wedge spin performance, and in 2010 the use of U-groove wedges was banned in tournaments.
　The spin wedge developed by Fourteen had such an overwhelming advantage that it changed the equipment rules.

　As pioneers of spin wedges, we are confident that our wedges have earned the utmost trust. That is why the R&D department started the FR (FOURTEEN REVOLVE) PROJECT to once again face the roots of spin performance.
　We thoroughly pursued further possibilities for spin wedges.

For All Golfer
FR PROJECT (FOURTEEN REVOLVE PROJECT)

　The FR PROJECT developed the ultimate “non-conforming wedge” and conducted testing to explore the potential of spin wedges that go beyond the barriers of regulations.
　The goal is to achieve the same performance that allows all golfers to hit professional-level spin shots as with the innovative U-groove MT-28 wedge.
　The new model FRZ, developed through the FR PROJECT, serves as a reminder that Fourteen is a manufacturer for all golfers, and promises to be a breakthrough spin wedge producer.

Superior groove that surpasses previous quality control standards

Fourteen’s most important policy is uncompromising product precision. This is because we want to deliver to golfers the performance that was intended by the original design. To that end, the strict inspection standards have been established and implemented thorough quality control.
The new “FRZ” has set even higher quality standards for the flatness precision of the face and groove precision, and the latest technology is used to manage these standards during the manufacturing process. Furthermore, only “perfect grooves” are shipped after undergoing rigorous quality inspection of finished products.
The finest groove quality delivers the highest level of spin performance to golfers.

New laser milling technology for maximum and stable spin

To increase spin rate, it is necessary to improve the friction conditions between the face and ball at impact, and for that, the flatness precision of the face is very important.
Fourteen has focused on the material, head shape, face groove design, and the pursuit of flatness precision. Flatness precision is essential for the best groove design.
In addition, laser milling is applied to the face to reduce the loss of spin performance in tough conditions around the green, such as in wet conditions, rough, and in bunkers.

【 DETAIL 】

The propulsive force of the head generated when the sole hits the ground (grass or sand) affects the amount of spin and energy.
　There are three types of sole to provide optimal spin, smooth follow-through, and ideal head speed acceleration depending on each player’s style/shot and golf course conditions.

*H type is available 56 deg, 58 deg. and 60 deg. only.
T type is available 56 deg. and 58 deg. only.
