Fourteen introduces new TC-788 iron
Fourteen Golf is trying to pack everything it can into a forged club. A compact cavity back that looks like an heir to the low-handicapper-focused TC-770, the TC-788 is forged from a solid block of S20C steel with no additional additives. The irons also feature a nickel chrome plated satin finish with stock Nippon NS Pro 950GH HT shafts.
Fourteen describes the 788 as a high ball speed, mid-to-low handicap players iron that uses “every technique possible to increase distance while still keep pliability in a one piece forging.” The TC-788 also fully optimizes center of gravity throughout the set based on each club’s loft. An undercut cavity allows Fourteen to deepen the COG.
Alex Schack, manager of media relations, says
“The difference in blade height between the 7 and 6 irons is more than 3mm. This creates an extremely dynamic CG change from the short irons to the long irons.”
Players will see a compact head shape with minimal offset at address. Likewise, when striking the ball, the TC-788s beveled trailing edge is apparent. It allows for optimal turf interaction and thinner overall clubhead feel. The MAP price is $1349.99 for a 4-PW set, and the clubs go on sale today, November 10.

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.

Thick top line and these are way overpriced for what they are IMO.

Isn’t it interesting that with all the angles and dangles in the new stuff the EYE 2 perimeter weighting is still the best and simplest. Look and probably just like many earlier models from several mfgrs.

Is that feather emblem forged into the club or is it upset because I can’t tell.

Looks great at address, other than the usual thick top line. Guess it’s time to get used to that.

“… the TC-788 is forged from a solid block of S20C steel with no additional additives.”
———————-
Please confirm it is “hot” forged. Also are the markings inside the cavity part of the forging or is it only a decorative metal plaque with the fine detailing that may not be achieved with a forging process?
Just asking because of the P-790 fake-forged cast steel body controversy. Thanks.
