Posted September 10, 200816 yr 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!

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.

September 11, 200816 yr Author Not looking good.. their V4 wedges are forged in China too... Really? What about prior versions (V3, V2, etc.) of their wedges?
September 11, 200816 yr 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.
September 13, 200816 yr 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.
