xchangmanx Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Fourteen V4 silver finish. I counted them they have 16 grooves apposed to most wedges 15. I was trying to figure out why they spin so much.... lol Another side note>they say forged but they are cast.... lol At address the shape and slightly reflective surface gives a sharper feel. Taper blade reminds me of the yamaha 08 wedge. The V4 had almost same traj as the yamaha. Same uber spin. As you can see the grooves are dam huge, they sliced up my brigdestones. Super Spinners. First impressions: DG shaft -Beautiful wedge at address. -Great feel, very spongy soft, very grabby, but not soft like epon soft/solid. -Easy to hit full, pitch, chips low. -Tight lie and fairway shots are just darts to the flag that stop on a dime. Significant differences: just my opinion -I noticed I slightly skulled a few balls trying to chip w/this guy...(less forgiving) never happens w/kgx. -I noticed an increase of 5-10 yrds on sweet spot shots than any of my other wedges.(vector) My normal 56* only goes about 100 yrds, but w/the V4 I found it easy to get to 110 and crank it up further too. -Sand and rough shots are difficult> they do not feel as easy to hit as kgx wedge and vokey wedges. Also Sand and rough shots do not sound and feel the same as good as vokey and kgx... Vokey and kgx are more consistent in the scrambling. as the grooves wear I will report in...

jacksonlui Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 very nice looking wedge. if they stamp forged but are cast, isn't that misleading? i've been having lots of luck on the tourstage 101 xwedge, seems to work better than my kgx for now. keep us posted, looks like you have more than a set of V4 wedges.

gocchin Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The Fourteen MT-28 V4 and JSPEC II are both forged. Previous generations of the MT-28 were all cast. The wedges look amazing at setup thanks to the reverse taper blade design they use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that makes sense. Glad they forged them; however, even if they weren't forged, I'd still buy them. They are great wedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Regarding 15 v 16 grooves....are the grooves spaced tighter on the Fourteen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xchangmanx Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Regarding 15 v 16 grooves....are the grooves spaced tighter on the Fourteen? OK so I actually measured them. And yes the grooves are 1mm tighter than all my other wedges. There you go folks. Fourteen Grooves are tighter and offer 1 more groove. (I'm sure this makes HUGE DIFFERENCE in spin.... I obviously notice it, especially on the greenside chips, I'm talking 10-15yrd fringe chips that spin back 2 feet) Edited February 16, 2009 by xchangmanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breal Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks real good to me has a great finish.. Time to get back in the thick of things going on been busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe295 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree those are very attractive. I'm needing to stock up on wedges because they sometimes treat me funny and need to be left in the closet to ruminate on their behavior. That's the theory anyway.

samuee Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The Fourteen MT-28 V4 and JSPEC II are both forged. Previous generations of the MT-28 were all cast. So the v3 is cast??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 So the v3 is cast??? I thought the V3 were cast but I noticed Fourteen USA's site has them as Forged nickel chrome molybdenum which is the same as the new V4. I double checked and they are indeed 鍛造ニッケルクロムモリブデン鋼 which is indeed Forged nickel chrome molybdenum so I stand corrected. Ha I always thought they were cast that felt like forged.... but come to think of it looking at a few used ones here they do ding like forged!
