Fourteen Golf continues to grow as a prominent leader in wedge design, offering high-quality products and being recognized on top product lists such as GolfWRX’s “Best of” list.
Now, with the release of its first line of forged blades, the FH-1000 irons, Fourteen Golf has entered the blade iron market.
The new irons feature what Fourteen calls “Reverse Muscle Back Design,” which is borrowed from the company’s wedges. According to Fourteen, the reverse muscle back shape helps improve clubhead stability at impact, as well as workability.
“These exquisite FH-1000 forged blades were developed for professionals, low handicappers or those seeking the ultimate in playability,” said Marcy Kamoda, Fourteen Golf COO in a press release. “Golfers of this caliber can maximize the advantage of the muscle back design and will appreciate their workability.”

Fourteen says the FH-1000 long irons launch the ball higher and land softer because of a relatively lower center of gravity, while the short irons have a higher CG that promotes a lower ball flight. Overall, the FH-1000 irons have a sleek, straight neck shape and a minimal amount of offset, which better golfers tend to favor.

According to the press release, Fourteen’s R&D group took a unique approach when positioning the center of gravity in its FH-1000 irons. Engineers matched the CG distance of the irons with that of a tour-model driver. That helps golfers the transition from a driver to an iron, Fourteen says, promoting better swing and shot consistency.
The FH-1000 forged irons are made from soft S25C iron and have a pearl satin finish.
Below you can see the 5 iron, 7 iron and PW and how the mass is moved from the long irons to the shorter scoring irons. Top club fitter Joe Kwok, who fits pros and the public, says that the way Fourteen distributes its mass through an iron set makes for “a special type of design.”
