A truly satisfying "absolute feel." That's the feeling you've been waiting for. A feeling of pure delight that appeals to all five senses. The "form," "feel," and "forgiveness" are in perfect balance, like the golden ratio. The new TB-5 FORGED is now available in a diamond black satin finish.
■Forever beautiful. Diamond black satin finish.
The diamond black satin finish exudes a refined and powerful presence. Compared to conventional black plating, it offers superior wear resistance, maintaining its beautiful condition for longer. The shaft color also features a black finish to match the head, enhancing the overall presence of the club.
【PERFORMANCE】
■The performance aspect that should not change is the functionality of the TB-5 FORGED itself.
Fourteen develops all of its products with a target player in mind. The target player for the "TB-5 FORGED" is the "expert" or "veteran" amateur golfer with a long golf career and a strong preference for their playing style and clubs. The target player remains the same for the new model, and Fourteen believes that there is no need to change the features that were "perfect" in the previous model.
■Center of gravity design that clearly targets the target player
From the center of gravity distance, depth, height, and moment of inertia, the NEW "TB-5 FORGED (25)" has an absolute policy of deliberately maintaining the same precision as its predecessor, in terms of how easily the ball gets airborne, how easy it is to grip, and how forgiving it is on mishits.
■What performance aspects should be further refined? The feel itself, including the feel of the impact.
Fourteen believes that the value of soft iron forged irons lies primarily in their exceptional feel, especially the impact. The purity of the feel conveyed to the player by a single-material forged structure is something that composite structures simply cannot match. The true value of a good feel lies not only in the exhilaration gained from a good shot, but also in the ability to provide clear feedback (good or bad) when a shot is mishit. The undeniable evolution of the new "TB-5 FORGED" is in the feel itself, starting with the impact. The pure, excellent feel of soft iron forging encourages improvement for amateur golfers. The best feel when you hit a good shot. A moderate feel for a mediocre shot. The new "TB-5 FORGED" mercilessly delivers the best feel to amateur golfers.
■ Evolution of feel = Evolution of Theater Blade
In forged irons made from a single material of soft iron, the development theme for achieving a soft feel is to increase the thickness of the impact area. A major advantage of the theater blade structure is that the thickness can be freely changed to the intended location without altering the function (center of gravity performance). The theater (curved) area from the toe to the heel was made smaller, and the thickness was increased in the curved area of the sole closer to the impact point. Another important aspect of the "TB-5 FORGED" is its design, which appeals to the aesthetics of veteran players. The design theme was developed to create a "solid feel" and "thickness" that is closer to that of a muscle back iron.
The grooves on both sides of the toe and heel, which mark the boundary between the curved section from the theater blade to the sole, are intended to gain excess weight while utilizing the design, but they are also a difficult design to achieve with the forging process. "Clubs must be beautiful." The "TB-5 FORGED" embodies both the policy that Fourteen has upheld since its founding and its functionality.
■ Universal sole suitable for all types of terrain
The universal sole originated in the "DJ series" wedges, designed for ease of use for average golfers, and was developed with versatility in mind. The sole, which can accommodate any head angle of attack, was improved for irons in the previous model, "TB-5 FORGED (21)," and is an important feature that greatly contributes to practical ease of use. In "TB-5 FORGED (25)," the round shape has been further refined with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in excellent turf interaction that can handle any lie.
■A sheep in wolf's clothing
During the process of adjusting the thickness of the Theater Blade, the thickness of the top blade and the appearance of the neck were refined to create a head shape that is even easier for veteran players to set up. While the head size remains unchanged, it has evolved into a semi-gooseneck shape that feels sharper while maintaining a more straight feel. The "TB-5FORGED (25)," with its ultimate forgiveness and sharp appearance, is truly a "sheep in wolf's clothing." Black Friday
