Fourteen has never made an iron easier to use. ■The target player is a golfer with Driver head/swing speed of less than 40 m/sec. The two most important factors that active golfers with a long history of golf look for in an iron are "ease of use" and "a shape that is easy to set up." The new "PC-3" is a composite forged iron that perfectly achieves the high trajectory that is the key to ease of use, while also combining a moderately sharp and beautiful shape that feels easy to set up. These irons meet the aesthetics of the playing style established by long-time veteran players. ■Elite D Steel is used in the face for the first time. #5 through #7 clubs feature the new, ultra-high-strength "Elite D Steel" face material. The thinnest face thickness in Fourteen history, at 1.75 mm, enables even higher trajectories with high initial velocities. #8 through PW clubs use 2.0 mm high-strength nickel-chrome-molybdenum steel. It combines high repulsion performance with a mild feel. ■The benefits of the face's repulsion performance. Higher initial ball velocity directly translates into a longer trajectory. Even at lower head speeds, the club maintains the trajectory drop angle necessary to land on the green. ■Optimal score line design clearly defines the role of each club. #5 through #7 clubs feature shallower score lines to optimize resilience and enable higher trajectories. #8 through PW clubs maintain resilience while featuring deeper score lines to reduce flyering in the rough or on rainy days, ensuring consistent spin and the desired distance. ■Strongly repulsive head with a mild feel and impact sound. To overcome the excessively loud and hard impact sound of the pocket cavity design, which pursues higher initial ball velocity, a vibration-absorbing elastomer is injected into the bottom. This provides a pleasant, repulsive, and mild feel and impact sound. ■Center-of-gravity design aligns the actual impact point with the sweet spot. By utilizing the maximum amount of excess weight in the forged body, high-density tungsten is placed on the toe side to move the center of gravity closer to the center of the face. The precisely designed CNC machining adjusts the center of gravity, aligning the impact point with the sweet spot. ■No digging in even when hitting hard. The new PC-3 features the ridged sole with a bumper, a feature popular with the TB-5 FORGED and DJ series. The thick "bumper" shape on the leading edge creates a practical and easy-to-use sole that doesn't dig in even when hitting hard, contributing to a smooth swing. ■FT-50i Shaft: A lightweight carbon shaft in the 50g range designed for ease of swing.
