Fourteen Golf FH-1000 Forged Irons
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.”

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

I own this set, 5-PW and they’re indeed awesome top of the line clubs. People speak of price on this set. I got mine for $825 plus tax. That’s overpriced for Japanese clubs? Really? I was also looking at the Callaway Apex Pro, $25 more for set! IMHO most people are sold on the hype of the main manufactures. When you watch the golf channel, what do you see? Yeah, you got my point. My whole set is Fourteen except putter. I think people who look at Fourteen with a negative view will try them and be like whatever-I like my Titleist! However, if you have an opened mind on GOLF CLUBS, you will see Fourteen is top notch. The FH1000 are like FREAKING BUTTER! On one more note, if Taylormade wanted me to play there clubs (and have a tour van following me everywhere) and pay me $10 million a year, guess which club I’d be hitting. ANYTHING that is so massed produced will quality control somewhere along the lines.

I have hit these and they feel amazing. I actually prefer the feel over some of the Miuras I’ve hit. Can’t find them everywhere, though. I think there’s only one set on eBay…

Over priced ! What or who is the parent company? TM? Callaway?
The”Money is no object clubs” is a way to show off on the course when the clubs look or are expensive then this guy must be a player (little guy) syndrome.

No, those guys buy Miura or the gold-plated Honma or Maruman lol

Aug 30, 2013 at 1:33 pm
i totally agree. with the money you pay to buy miura’s/honma’s or marunman’s clubs u can buy a 2-3 full sets of other brands. not like many players on tour play those clubs.

I have always wanted Fourteen to come out with a blade! Miura, its big brother in quality japanese irons makes the best blades I have ever hit and their price-point is even higher so these are definitely worth a shot. I prefer anything that you can be creative with out on the golf course, far more than using golf clubs that are too bulky and do nothing but go straight and also allow your 9 iron to go 200 yards! Definitely will be getting my local fitter to try and get his hands on these.

I wonder how many potential buyers will look for an upgraded shaft vs. the stock S200, especially at that price point. Weird call IMHO…

I have a set of their TC930’s I love them, but I agree they seem to be always heading in the wrong direction. If they offered their RM Wedges at a reasonable price they could make it in the U.S. Market. I’m surprised they are still alive in the USA.

They should have gone for prices similar to Miura but may be just slightly under priced, and then offering customized options, instead of going for the slightly more expensive off-the-rack pricing that we now see that nobody wants to really pay. A bad marketing plan. And the clubs are nothing too spectacular to justify the slightly higher prices than Mizuno or Titty.

Nice looking. Definitely not a mass market offering. I’d be interested to know how many sets they think they will sell in the next year. Knifes from a company with no big tour/retail/marketing presence…interesting product strategy.

Just hard to justify the cost… Not sure you get any better than the 714 MB’s yet those are the low end of the ” upper end ” player’s clubs.
