With the JC-406 and JC-606, we have designed a club with optimal spin characteristics by perfecting, in particular, the CG height. With this balancing of the CG position, we have not only managed to balance distance and accuracy, but we have also upped the trajectory stability for long, penetrating drives. At Fourteen, we have independently concluded that the ideal CG position lies roughly 40% of the way down the club face from the crown. Slightly lower-CG drivers can be long off the tee, but also inconsistent, with frequently diving or bending trajectories, and lost distance.
What has allowed us to achieve this optimum spin rate design is the 3-piece titanium club head construction. The crown is a 15-3-3-3 Titanium, the face is a forged 700 Titanium, and the body is a precision-constructed 6-4 Titanium, each quite different in character, fused for CG perfection and ultra high MOI. The sound and feel are also first rate.
The volumes of the JC-406 and JC-606 are 410cc and 430cc, respectively. The shorter CG length of the JC-406 lends it more to harder hitting, sharp swingers. The JC-606, with its longer CG length and MOI, is better geared for slower, smooth swinging types.
We have also managed to nail our ideal club head shape with these drivers?they feel good at address, they inspire confidence, and they just scream, “hit me!” I think we have created a pair of drivers that really harness the potential of the golfer.
