draven Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Anybody else see this? Only link I could find in English... doesn't say much, but pretty much confirms the rumor. http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/Th..._Inc-2006117040 ABSTRACT: JAPAN - Daiwa Seiko Inc agreed to acquire the entire share capital of Fourteen Golf Inc, a manufacture and seller of golf clubs, from Takamitsu Takebayashi and other 5 individual shareholders. Should be very interesting to see what that means for future product lines from ONOFF and Fourteen at any rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots is going on right now, Let's hope Daiwa doesn't have fourteen produce their forged irons in China where they currently produce theirs.

samuee Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Chris, I know the 247 are forged in Japan but I thought the Plus forged irons are forged in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draven Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Not looking good.. their V4 wedges are forged in China too... Really? What about prior versions (V3, V2, etc.) of their wedges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinkwan Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Not 100% sure but 99%... V3 and the MT28 are all Japan.. At least the MT28 which I am using says made in Japan... If they have anohter production line then I won't know... V4 is listed as made in china on their Japanese website while the MT28 are still made in Japan... very good wedge btw.. beats everything that I have tried so far...

The V3 and MT-28 are cast wedges made in China. They are assembled in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 cast or form forged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 cast or form forged? Form Forged from what I understand is a casting using carbon steel mixed with graphite. I'm pretty sure the fourteens are cast cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
