【 STORY 】

Doubt common sense
TB-5 FORGED, a forged iron created based on the philosophy passed down from the founder.

Fourteen has a strong commitment to the forgiving forged iron category.
We have been committed to uncompromising sensory elements such as the feel of the impact that cannot be achieved with a “composite iron,” and have thoroughly pursued the development of one-piece forged soft steel in the forgiving “5 Series.”
And we have precisely shaped the ideal functions and realized them in every model.
Fourteen’s “5 Series” boasts a high level of perfection in both function and feeling and has reached a stage where it is difficult to create new functions with ideas that rely on conventional concepts.
Founder Takamitsu Takebayashi’s philosophy is “Doubt common sense” The development of the TB-5 FORGED began with not being bound by the common sense that forgiving forged irons are cavity structure.

*Founder Takamitsu Takebayashi
A pioneer who turned functions such as center of gravity theory and MOI into numerical data.
He is one of the leading engineers who has led the evolution of golf clubs, such as by creating hollow-structure irons.

The aim was to combine the forgiveness of a cavity iron the feel of a muscle iron.

The technology behind the performance of the TB-5 FORGED is the unique “Theater Blade” structure on the back face.
The unique shape started with eliminating both the toe and heel walls of the cavity structure. The excess weight gained was then distributed to thicken the club, mainly on the outer periphery, for functionality and to suppress vibrations at impact.
The Theater Blade was named for its smooth, flowing face and thickness resemble a theater.
The Theater Blade TB-5 FORGED combines the forgiveness of a deep-sole cavity iron with the soft feel of a muscle back, making it one of a kind in the forged iron market.

Fourteen’s longest-selling iron

Thanks to its many loyal users, the TB-5 FORGED has been played by more golfers than we expected over the past four years and has become Fourteen’s flagship model.
The TB-5 FORGED is one of a kind, and its performance is outstanding, combining forgiveness and a soft feeling that targets veteran players who are well-versed in the benefits of soft steel forged irons.
And now, a successor model to the TB-5 FORGED will be released.
The mission is to not disappoint the target players, and this model will continue to evolve in a way that will make it one of a kind.

【 PERFORMANCE 】

The performance that should not be changed is the original function of TB-5 FORGED.

Every Fourteen products are developed with a clear target players.
The target players for the TB-5 FORGED are experienced, veteran golfers with long golf careers who are particular about their playing style and clubs.
The target players remain the same even during the development process of the new product, and Fourteen believes that the functions that were perfected in the previous model should not be changed.

Designed to clearly fit the player’s needs

The design of the center of gravity, depth, height and MOI have been inherited from the previous model so that performance such as the ease of ball launch, solidity of contact, and forgiveness on mishits remains unchanged.

Performance that should be refined is all about feeling.

The advantage of soft steel forged irons is their outstanding feeling element.
The pure feel of the impact, which is a characteristic of one-piece forged structures, cannot be achieved with composite structures. A good feel is not just about the comfort you get when you make a good shot, but also about whether the player can feel the clear difference when they make a bad shot.
The evolution of the new TB-5 FORGED is all about the feeling.
The pure feel of the soft steel forged iron helps golfers improve their skills.

The best feel for a good shot.
The decent feel for a so-so shot.

The new TB-5 FORGED gives golfers the best feeling ever.

Performance that should be refined is evolution of feeling

In order to achieve an ultra-soft feel, a precise forging process is used, and the thickness of the impact area has been improved to be thicker than the previous model while maintaining the functionality of the theater blade structure.
The material is super mild soft steel S20C.
Another important feature of the TB-5 FORGED is the design that meets the aesthetics of veteran players.
An iron that pursues forgiveness while also combining the feel and beauty of a muscle back iron.

“Clubs must be beautiful.”
The TB-5 FORGED combines this policy, which Fourteen has followed since its founding, with the performance as a club.

Performance that should be refined is evolution of simplicity.

The Universal Sole for a wide variety of lies

The Universal Sole grind borrowed from the DJ series wedge and adapted for iron play.
The versatile grind helps prevent digging and is forgiving from a wide variety of lies.
Better turf interaction equals better and more consistent impact leading to straighter shots and more distance.


Simple and beauty

While maintaining the reassuring head size and the large sweet spot that produces excellent distance and direction, the thickness of the top blade, the appearance of the neck, and the face progression have been updated to suit the preferences of veteran players.
