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.”

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

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.
