NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (April 16, 2003) - KZG, known for offering
the finest forged irons, wedges and putters on the market, today announced
the expansion of their hand-crafted forged wedge series. The complete
line-up now includes six different lofts in right hand: 50 degrees, 52
degrees, 54 degrees, 56 degrees, 58 degrees, 60 degrees; and 3 lofts
in left hand: 52 degrees, 56 degrees, 60 degrees.
KZG spares no expense when it comes to the design and manufacturing of their forgings. Each forged wedge is perfectly engineered, hand crafted and ground to perfection by expert Japanese craftsmen. According to KZG President, Jennifer King, "KZG forged wedges are the finest quality, and offer the ultimate in feel and accuracy."
The distinctive feel and playability of KZG forged wedges and irons can be attributed to the time and cost intensive measures KZG takes in the forging process. Premium carbon steel bars are heated to 1,200 degreesC and placed into tooling dies to sustain a 1.3 ton air stamp hammer forging. After cooling, the heads are trimmed and blasted to remove burrs. The heads undergo yet a second forging: heated to 800 degreesC, forged under a .5 ton air stamp, cooled, and blasted again to remove burrs. This critical second forging eliminates all voids in the steel and ensures extraordinary consistency.
"KZG's forgings are the finest in the world and are now available in
wide variety of lofts in both right and left hand. Each forged wedge
is available in both a high polish nickel chrome or 'raw' finish. We
developed a full range of forged wedges to meet the needs of better golfers," stated
King.
The new lofts are available now through authorized KZG Dealers with a MSR of $89 with steel, and $99 with graphite. KZG proudly invites you to view the new forged wedge series as well as the entire line of award winning golf products at www.kzgolf.com.
