Hirota Golf Co. (Location: Nishi-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture), a developer, manufacturer and seller of original golf equipment and tools, will release new soft-iron forged forged wedge models on May 31.

Three types of high-cosmetics forged wedges are newly released

■About the new products

The wedge is an important club because a change in your short game can drastically change your score.

Three types of wedges with different characteristics for various golfers are newly released.

These models are made of soft iron, the most popular material used for wedge heads in golf clubs.

While stainless steel and other materials are used for wedge heads, advanced players prefer soft iron. There are two types of soft iron: cast (lost wax), which is formed by pouring the material into a mold, and forged (forged), which is formed by pressurizing the material.

The soft material of soft-iron forgings provides a good feel and sound, and the sensation of the golf ball absorbing into the face is addictive.

Many golfers have an image of soft-iron forgings as being difficult or expensive, but Hirota Golf's Forged Wedge is a new release because we want golfers from all walks of life to experience the advantages of forged wedges.

■Product Features

HT-009 Forged Wedge made of ** soft iron forging + CNC precision machining

The HT-009 Forged Wedge is a luxurious but high-cost model, with a soft-iron forged head machined by CNC precision machining one by one.

The CNC precision-machined sole provides good forgiveness, and the five holes in the back face allow for a high center of gravity for weight distribution and easy backspin.

HT-0X Forged Wedge, the Japanese craftsmanship of Ichikawa, the birthplace of Japanese golf manufacturing.

Each HT-0X head is handmade by Japanese craftsmen, and a scoreline is placed on the entire face to enable various shots with full use of the face.

The non-plated black-dyed finish allows the player to enjoy the hitting feel of the material itself.

In addition, we are now accepting reservations for the Vintage Plating model, scheduled for release in mid-July.

Vintage plating is a plating process that brings out the flavor the more you use it, allowing you to enjoy the vintage look with a few modifications yourself.

HT-011 Forged Wedge, which highlights the Japanese craftsmanship of Ichikawa, the birthplace of Japanese golf manufacturing.

HT-011 is a gooseneck specification where each head is handmade by Japanese craftsmen.

HT-009 and HT-0X forged wedges have a straight neck, but HT-011 forged wedge has a gooseneck design.

The gooseneck design makes it easier to impact with the face slightly closed, making it suitable for Japanese grass where the ball tends to float. This model is also recommended for golfers who want a simple approach.
