Fourteen Golf RM-12 Wedges?

[EbenSalgado24]

Was thinking of getting a new set of wedges to go along with my new MP-54s. I currently have the SM4 Vokeys but wanna try something new and have read some reviews on these RM-12 wedges being good, wanted to know in your opinion if you think they are great wedges or not? What you like or don't like about them? Thanks

There are many japan wedges that are very very good..here are 5 great companies..on off, miura, fourteen, yamaha, and yururi

[EbenSalgado24]

Only ones I was really considering were the Miura and Fourteen because they are more accessible, but good that you mentioned other brands cuz I wanna stay away from the mainstream clubs

RM12 are incredible. Very soft and great spin. They spin as much or more than my Yururis.

I just ordered a set of these after seeing them in so many bags on the LPGA tour. There are quite a few on the PGA tour but it makes sense that if they work for the ladies then maybe I can have a chance. I know that's weird logic but I like the fact that they're forged instead of cast and look to have beautiful craftsmanship as well as nice grinds. They are supposed to deliver tomorrow so I will have a go with them this weekend and let you know my thoughts.

FYI - I'm a long time Vokey guy and have bounced from Clevelands, Ping Eye 2 and Ansers. I have high hopes for these babies and have a feeling they will be in the bag for a while. I've had that feeling many times so hopefully this is the ticket!

I have played Vokeys myself and just thought since I got new irons why not get new wedges, especially since I have a gap to fill and saw these and they look awesome. Please let me know how it goes.

I've played Cleveland TG's it seems like my whole life and was needing a new set of wedges. I've been spotting the Fourteens in some tour bags and got curious. When I finally got a chance to hit them I couldn't believe how they felt and responded. The look at address is really close to the 588 Cleveland's but the spin and feel are unreal. I got the black ones and love the non-glare design. The clubs are absolutely beautiful. My only issue was how quickly the black finish is coming off, but what is left behind is kinda cool looking. Anyways, I highly recommend them! You won't be sorry.

What bounce did you get on the 58?

[Bimmer1]

I think 56/12 and 58/08 are the way to go.

[duffer888]

I'm still using MT-28 V4s and they aren't going anywhere. Since they use a slightly harder metal than 1025, the grooves are still quite sharp after all these years.

[*]-> My thoughts were: "It's the Indian, not the arrow!" - " When it's look like a duck(wedge), walk(weight) - quack(degree) - move(head shape) - swim(bounce) like a duck then it is a duck and they're all the same."
[*]-> Saw RM12 on discount.
[*]-> Bought my first Fourteen.
[*]-> Now ... "It's the indian, not the arrow! But wthecckk this is ways much better arrow !" and oooh my.. "Super duck is really exist!"
[*]-> Felt like age got discounted 14yrs+ many discount on my strokes and felt stupid enough didn't care or dare to pull the trigger on it earlier.

Sorry but this whole post made no sense to me ha

[Bimmer1]

I think he's happy with his Fourteen wedge!

[maslie]

Sorry for being ackward on last post..lol.
IMO, it's a great wedge with stock shaft(DG). Perhaps the balance which make a different for me and so give better judgement on distance control. As the size and shape it's just like Cleveland CG line so I don't expect much when I bought it but on course it performs way better for me than my other wedges(Cleveland/Titleist/Nike). It might looks like just regular wedge but it worth to try.

I first took a liking to Fourteen's 56* low bounce ( about 8* ) wedge. It was surprisingly versatile and very playable. I've picked up a few 58* Fourteen wedges since though I only use them when I play newer clubs for a change of pace.

I have a 53* and 58/08 in raw finish with Black Onyx S400 TI and I am really enjoying them. Great feel and predictable spin and I really like the raw finish. I was playing tour issue ATV's that I really liked as well but the Fourteen's are much better for my game. Really no adjustment period at all.

I picked up a used RM-11 52 degree on ebay at a great price and just love the feel of it. I have a lot of Vokey wedges but this has that softer feel .

[/quote] I found them way short, but admit they spin well. I have the 588 forged, and the RM-12 was consistently 6-7 yards shorter

I have the 52 and 56 in the black/raw finish. I like the grind on the sand wedge a lot. You can open it up easily, plays from sand well and like others have said they spin well and have a good feel. I wouldn't say buttery, but it is no off the rack vokey or cleveland feel either. I think the grind is the best asset of them though and they are an all around really nice wedge and in my bag for the foreseeable future, but I have wanted to try a gekku wedge.

On a side note, I got the fourteen fh1000 blades after liking the wedges so much on a whim for a used set and I hated them. Sold them after only 3 weeks after 5 rounds and range time. I wanted to like them, but I just hated them. They were hands down the most forgiving blade I have ever hit though, distance on mishits was noticeably un blade like......then again so was the look at address and feel...
