FOURTEEN FR5 NIPPON 101 BLACK WEDGES

The FOURTEEN FR-5 Nippon 101 Black Wedge is designed as an all-round scoring club that blends forgiveness, control, and versatility. Fourteen positions the FR-5 as the successor to the RM-α and as a middle ground between the more control-focused FRZ and the more automatic, forgiveness-oriented DJ-6. That makes it a strong option for golfers who want a wedge that feels workable around the greens while still offering help on everyday approach and short-game shots.

A key feature of the FR-5 is Fourteen’s universal sole design, which is intended to improve turf interaction and make the club easier to use across a wide range of lies. Fourteen also highlights the leading-edge bumper and bounce design for added forgiveness through impact and follow-through.

The head shape is built with a semi-gooseneck profile that aims to help players feel they can grip and control the ball more easily, while still maintaining a visually clean look at address. For spin, the FR-5 uses a forged, high-flatness face, rule-conforming grooves, and lateral laser milling to help maintain stable spin performance from different lies, including wet conditions.
