Origin of the Name The name "Fourteen" is derived from the maximum number of clubs a golfer is allowed to carry in their bag during competition. The company's mission is encapsulated in its fundamental principle: "To equip golfers with the best 14 clubs." This philosophy drives the design and development of every club they produce.
Design and Development Process Fourteen employs a meticulous six-step process in the planning, design, and development of its golf clubs:
Development Concept: Identifying the target players for the new product to form a focused development concept.
Dimension Design: Detailed design of the club head dimensions, including size, lie and loft angles, sole width, and face shape, based on extensive research data.
3D CAD Design: Simultaneous simulation of various club head dimensions, such as shape, center of gravity, and moment of inertia, to enhance the fusion of design and function.
Final Shape Confirmation: Creation of a resin model based on the 3D CAD design to finalize the club head shape.
Copper Master: Production of molds for mass production using the confirmed club head shape from the 3D CAD design.
Sample Model: Conducting swing tests with head samples. Specifications such as shape, center of gravity, and strength are carefully checked by robots to ensure they match the design.
