Fourteen has never known a more forgiving iron. ■Target players are golfers with Driver swing speed of less than 40 m/sec. The two main elements that experienced, active golfers look for in an iron are "ease of use" and "an easy-to-address shape." The new "PC-3," a composite forged iron that uses cutting-edge materials in the right places, perfectly achieves a high trajectory, which is the key to ease of use, while also possessing a moderately sharp and beautiful shape that feels easy to address. This iron responds to the aesthetics of the playing style established by veteran players with long careers. ■Elite D Steel is used for the first time in the face. #5 to #7 use the new ultra-high-strength "Elite D Steel" material for the face. This achieves the thinnest face thickness in Fourteen history at 1.75 mm, enabling an even higher trajectory due to high initial velocity. #8 to PW use 2.0 mm high-strength nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel. It combines rebound performance with a mild feel. ■Benefits of the face's rebound performance. Higher ball speed directly translates to a higher trajectory peak. Even in lower head speed ranges, it maintains the necessary trajectory drop angle to catch the green. ■Optimal scoreline design that clearly defines the role of each club down to the smallest detail. #5 to #7 clubs feature shallower scorelines to maximize rebound performance and enable high trajectories. #8 to PW clubs maintain rebound performance while employing deeper scorelines to reduce flyers in the rough or on rainy days, ensuring stable spin and accurate distance. ■A mild feel and sound on a powerful head. To overcome the excessively loud sound and hard feel of the pocket cavity structure designed for high ball speed, a "vibration-absorbing elastomer" is injected into the lower part. This provides a pleasant, mild feel and sound with a satisfying rebound. ■Center of gravity design that aligns the actual impact point with the sweet spot. By maximizing excess weight in the forged body, high-density tungsten is placed on the toe side to bring the center of gravity on the face closer to the center. The center of gravity is adjusted through meticulously designed CNC machining, resulting in a structure that aligns the impact point with the sweet spot. ■It won't dig in even when you hit it hard. The new PC-3 adopts a ridge sole with a bumper, which has been well-received in the TB-5 FORGED and DJ series. By making the leading edge side a "bumper" shape, it achieves a practical and forgiving sole that won't dig in even when you hit it hard, allowing it to slide through and contribute to a smooth swing. ■FT-50i shaft: A lightweight carbon shaft in the 50g range that pursues ease of swinging.
