 NEWARK,
OHIO — Fusing forging and casting technologies,
The GolfWorks has melded together strength,
advanced weight distribution and superior performance
for its newest entry into the best-selling
Peak Velocity line of woods — the new
PV FST Fairway Woods. First introduced in the
2005 Master Clubmakers’ Catalog, the
new PV FST Fairway Woods incorporate a unique ‘Forged
Shell Technology’ that applies an innovative
combination of forged and investment casting
parts which have been individually designed
to achieve peak performance.
“The GolfWorks’ Peak Velocity (PV)
is one of the best-selling lines of woods in
The GolfWorks’ history,
so developing a line of high-performance fairway
woods to complement the PV line was extremely
challenging,” says Britt Lindsey, vice
president of technical services for The GolfWorks. “But
by bringing together key attributes from both
the forging and investment casting processes,
our design team created a great-looking, classic
fairway wood that simply out-performs most investment
cast fairway wood models.”
The new PV FST features a unique three-piece
construction of 17-4 stainless and maraging steels.
A stainless steel hosel, sole and back are investment
cast as one piece, while the head’s crown
is forged of stainless steel and the face is
forged separately of super-hard maraging steel.
Precise investment casting of the perimeter and
bottom shell ensures consistency in the FST’s
head size and shape, while forging the stainless
crown allows for a much thinner (9mm) crown than
is found in most investment-cast heads and also
permits weight to be redistributed in the sole
for a lower center of gravity. The face is forged
from maraging steel and has a thickness of 2.2mm.
Lindsey explains that the strength of the maraging
steel and forging process allows for the responsive
thin-face design, a much thinner face thickness
than is possible in most investment fairways
designs. The forging process also ensures the
face’s structural integrity by producing
a much more consistent material dispersion during
manufacture.
“With great playability and a classic shape
that fits well with the Peak Velocity,” adds
Lindsey, “the PV FST fairway woods are
an ideal match for our best-selling PV driver
line.”
