Fourteen Golf introduces TF-616 irons, expands TF wedge line
Fourteen Golf has officially launched its new TF-616 irons. The California-based company also announced it is expanding loft options on the TF Wedge series.
Fourteen’s TF-616 irons are targeted at mid-handicappers who need a little more forgiveness but still want to play a forged iron. They feature a single material structure engineered with an undercut cavity during the manufacturing process, according to chief operating officer, Masashi Kamoda. The design is intended to maximize center-of-gravity in the iron.
See what GolfWRX members are saying aboutthe TF-616 irons in our forum.
“Fourteen Golf is excited to offer the new TF-616 irons, which have been designed specifically for mid-handicap players who have been looking for the soft feel of a forged iron while not wanting to sacrifice ease of use,” Kamoda said.
“In our longer irons, the center-of-gravity (CG) is set as deep as possible, helping to get the ball up in the air quickly and promoting a longer ball flight,” Kamoda explained. “In the short irons, the CG is placed as shallow as possible, with a higher CG height. This promotes well-controlled shots and a more penetrating ball flight.”
With respect to the TF wedge, which is already sold in lofts of 52, 56, and 60 degrees, Fourteen is adding 50- and 58-degree lofts.
Tour player input was critical to the TF wedge design, according to Fourteen. The pros are often looking to create different shots using the same wedge. Accordingly, the engineers at Fourteen rounded the toe and heel areas of the TF wedges and removed the rear portion of the sole for maximum shot-type options.
MSRP for TF-616 irons in sets of 4-iron through Pitching Wedge is $1,000. The TF Wedge series, MSRP: $150. Fourteen has also recently redesigned and relaunched its website, which is the best avenue for club purchases.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
