KZG – KZG loves golf lefties… the ZO Plus Blades and more

September 12, 2017 – KZG,  known for its award winning forged irons for golf, now adds the left hand model of its popular ZO Plus Blades for competitive lefties.

Lefties often feel like the step child with less equipment options than Righties.  This is truly not a function of ignoring lefties, but rather more about commercial feasibility.  When you consider the cost of tooling and amortizing that cost over a smaller volume of equipment sales, most golf companies opt for fewer leftie models.

“But KZG has always been different”, reports Jennifer King, President of KZG.  “We are a golf company, not a marketing company.  Rather than change models every year (or every six months), KZG keeps its models available for many years…KZG clubs actually have intrinsic value!”

Lefties are just like other golfers…they have unique swings … and thus one size does not fit all.  KZG carries 7 models of left handed irons so that KZG Master Fitters can select the design features required for each lefty golfer:

  • ZO Plus: Forged blade for the competitive player
  • Evolution III: Forged midsize cavity back for the mid to low handicapper
  • Forged V: Forged cavity back with low cg for the mid to high handicap player
  • EC II: Progressive cavity back for the mid to low handicapper
  • XCB: Deep undercut with low cg for the mid to high handicap
  • HPS: Oversize with wide sole and low cg for the high handicap player
  • LDI: And the new insert iron that will make everyone’s game “young again”.

“KZG has held the position as the #1 Custom ProLine due to its continuing commitment to offer equipment that is ‘demonstrably better’” reports Jennifer King, President of KZG.  “We don’t skimp on our materials or our manufacturing processes … we insist on perfection.  We know our lefties will love the new ZO Plus which will prove to be the most versatile and accurate blades on the market”.

The ZO Plus Blades are available in both RH and LH, #3-9, PW.  Each ZO Plus Blade will be custom fit and custom built with the ideal shaft for every golfer’s unique swing. MSRP starts at $179 per club depending on shaft selection.

KZG – Introduction of new RSG wedges with a slightly softened leading edge

August 19, 2017 – KZG, the #1 Custom ProLine, launches the RSG Wedges, the ideal short game tools.

The RSG Wedges feature a classic profile with a standard grind.  They are engineered with a slightly softened leading edge to preclude digging and a relieved trailing edge for shot versatility.

Every RSG Wedge features a micro-milled face and laser cut scorelines to assure increased spin rates from all lies and in all conditions.   KZG uses a softer grade of stainless steel and heat treats the RSG clubheads to give a “Feel of Forged” without the cost of a forged clubhead.  Each Wedge is beautifully balanced for consistent performance.

The RSG Wedges are best suited for those golfers playing on softer conditions.  The relieved trailing edge aids the golfer in adapting to more mid to firm courses when needed. Traveling or tournament golfers who play in a myriad of course conditions will find that the RSG Wedges will give them the versatility they need to accommodate various conditions.  For players who habitually play on harder conditions they may want to consider KZG’s XRS or XSC Wedges with a C Grind.

“KZG takes great pride in offering every golfer the design features suitable for their unique swing,” reports Jennifer King, President of KZG.  “The RSG is one of five models of wedges offered in a myriad of loft and bounce options to perfectly fit every conceivable golfer.  We know the performance of the RSG Wedges will be ideal for so many golfers preferring the more popular standard grind and who play in softer conditions.  And the RSG truly have the “Feel of Forged” at half the price.”

The RSG Wedges are available in a soft satin finish in the following lofts and bounce options:

  • RH: 50º, 52º, 54º, 56º/8º, 56º/12º, 58º, 60º/4º, 60º/10º
  • LH: 52º, 56º, 60º

RSG Wedges are available solely through KZG Authorized Dealers.  Every wedge will be personally fit and custom built for the golfer.

KZG – Expansion of its most popular hybrid line, the H370 Hybrids

June 21, 2017 – KZG, the #1 Custom ProLine, is expanding its most popular line of hybrids by adding 3 new lofts – RH 38º and 42º and LH 30º.

The H370 Hybrids have proven to be KZG’s most popular line of hybrids to date.  Combining the best features of both woods and irons, the H370 Hybrids have received rave reviews for its superior performance coupled with universal appeal to golfers.

Offering the greater distance of a wood, and the control of an iron, the H370 Hybrid has taken off in popularity and is quickly replacing more and more irons in golfer’s bags.

“We listen to our worldwide network of dealers which is comprised of the most highly skilled Master ClubFitters” reports Jennifer King, President of KZG.  “Our dealers have their hand on the pulse of the industry, and because they deal with golfers daily, they know what golfers need to play their best.  They asked for more lofts, and we complied with 3 more additional lofts”.

The H370 Hybrids are a mid-size profile, with offset and a low center of gravity for ease of play and ease to launch the ball.  The face insert is maraging steel forged with roll and bulge for hot, hot rebound.  The gear effect of the roll and bulge maximizes forgiveness.

Most golfers are achieving an additional 10 yards in distance with the H370 as compared to an iron with the same loft.  And given the low center of gravity, the H370 makes it easier to launch the ball.  “Our network of dealers are literally fitting golfers with H370 hybrids to replace every iron from #3 to #9” reports Jennifer King, “and seniors and recreational players are enjoying their game a great deal more as a result.”

Now available in: RH: #3/18º, #4/22º, #5/26º, #6/30º, #7/34º, #8/38º and #9/42º; LH: #4/22º, #5/26º and #6/30º, as a custom fit and custom-built hybrid club exclusively through KZG Dealers.

KZG – Launch of ZO Plus blades, the competitive player’s dream irons

February 9, 2017 – KZG, The No1 Custom ProLine, has launched the ZO Plus Blades designed for competitive players.

Known for its award winning forged irons, KZG now adds the ZO Plus Blades to its line. The original ZO model was played by many touring professionals as well as avid players around the globe and has been in the line for many years. Unlike other brands that change models each year, KZG maintains its models until such time a better performing version can be created.

Each ZO Plus clubhead is triple forged from virgin carbon steel to assure the maximum compaction of the molecular structure thereby eliminating all voids for perfect repeatable consistency on every shot. And equally important is that each clubhead is forged in one piece, a more expensive manufacturing process but critical for energy flow and feedback. Many forged irons on the market are forged in two pieces requiring the hosel to be welded to the body, thereby interfering with energy flow.

Another critical feature is that each ZO Plus clubhead is totally CNC milled to assure pinpoint accuracy in every specification. Over the years, KZG has found that hand finishing was often faulty due to human errors.

The ZO Plus Blades will delight the ardent player. A slight amount of offset was added to the ZO Plus to help create more launch angle and more spin, yet the offset is well concealed. The leading edge has been softened to improve turf interaction. The KZG panel of prototype testers report very little loss of dispersion or distance on off-centre hits… beyond their expectations.

“KZG has held the position as the No1 Custom ProLine due to its continuing commitment to offer equipment that is demonstrably better”, reports Jennifer King, President of KZG. “We don’t skimp on our materials or our manufacturing processes… we insist on perfection”.

“We also give our network of Dealers a wide selection of models so that they can select the optimum design features needed for every golfer. We are so proud to now offer the ZO Plus Blades which will prove to be the most versatile and accurate blades on the market. With the addition of the ZO Plus, KZG now offers 13 distinctly unique models to enable every golfer to achieve a perfect fit.”

The ZO Plus Blades is on the market since February 1, 2017 at KZG Dealers worldwide and are available in RH #3-9, PW. Each ZO Plus Blade will be custom fit and custom built with the shaft ideal for the golfer.

KZG – Triple XSS Forged Wedges, optimum performance for the short game

KZG-XSS-Forged-Wedge

September 13, 2016 – KZG, the Nº1 Custom Pro-Line, has launched its triple Forged XSS Wedges… designed for golfers who want optimum performance in their short game.

Each XSS Wedge is triple forged to assure that every void is eliminated in the carbon steel, giving pure, consistent shots on every hit. KZG utilizes the costlier method of forging their club heads in one piece, rather than two, so that the golfer can enjoy unparalleled feedback as there are no welds or breaks that interfere with the flow of energy.

The body of each XSS Wedge is completely CNC milled so that every specification is perfect. As a result, the golfer will enjoy pin-point precision and the tightest tolerances in the industry. The XSS comes in a wide range of bounce angles to allow the fitter to precisely match the wedge to the golfer’s swing and the conditions they typically play from. The face is micro-milled to assure maximum spin and the classic, standard grind will appeal to a broad selection of golfers.

“KZG is different from the major brands” reports Jennifer King, President of KZG.  “Rather than offering one or two models of wedges each year, KZG offers five distinct models to allow its network of clubfitters the opportunity to select the design features they need to perfectly fit their golfers”.

“And the XSS Wedges will appeal to a broad selection of golfer’s who want superior performance from their short game clubs that are perfectly fit and built to their exacting specifications.”

Chic, classic, clean.  Beautifully finished in brushed satin to reduce glare.  Available in RH: 50º, 52º, 54º, 56º/10º, 56º/14º, 58º, 60º/4º, 60º/10º. RRP: Steel shafts, $169; graphite, $179.
