Fourteen presents the new standard wedge. ■THE STANDARD WEDGE! The "FR-5" aims to be the standard for all wedges. The "FRZ" pursues linear operability, and the "DJ-6" has completely automatic functionality. The new "FR-5" aims to have functionality that is exactly in between these two models with outstanding features. It boasts versatility that can meet the needs of all golfers and achieves universal performance that can be the standard for all wedges. ■PERFORMANCE. A versatile sole that supports ease of use and allows you to showcase your technique. Fourteen's signature sole technology is a universal sole that brings ease of use to the wedge work of amateur golfers, and has been adopted in wedges since the "DJ-5" (2021). The bumper part of the leading edge, which is the key to ease of use, provides forgiveness in the impact conditions on the ball. Furthermore, it leads to a moderate bounce effect in the center of the sole and brings excellent turf interaction to wedge work, making it a truly versatile standard sole. ■Gooseneck shape with finely crafted details for easy setup. The "FR-5" features a moderately gooseneck shape, making it easy to pick up and control the ball, which is an important part of its "ease of use." While the gooseneck shape emphasizes automaticity, it can feel like an "obstacle" to players accustomed to straight necks. However, the curve of the neck shape was carefully designed to maintain the functional ease of use of the gooseneck while also offering the ease of setup of a straight neck. By adopting a neck shape that features an extremely gentle curve from the top to the bottom of the neck, the gooseneck feel is not excessively noticeable. ■Evolved by FR PROJECT. High-spin mirror forged face. The high-spin mirror forged face is adopted, which ensures consistent manufacturing precision even in mass-produced products, achieving essential elements for stable spin shots, from the flatness of the face to the groove edges that are right at the edge of the rules. Lateral laser milling guided by FR PROJECT improves basic spin performance, allowing for more stable spin shots from any lie or wet conditions. ■TS-114w Ver2. Developed in collaboration with Nippon Shaft Co., Ltd., this wedge-specific shaft pursues functionality and feel, aiming for "just the right amount of swingability" and "ease of use as a wedge." It features a feel that makes it easy to keep the ball on the face. (Black Friday)
