1879 Golf GBT "No More Worries About Bunker Escape"

"Utility Wedge."

The 1879 Golf GBT series (photo) has emerged as news. It is interesting that the utility concept was introduced to the wedge for golfers who lack confidence in bunker shots. GBT stands for a sweet potato-shaped head bunker escape club. The starting point is a leading edge more than twice as wide as a regular wedge. The blade covers two-thirds of the entire sole, providing a wide and large bounce, making bunker escapes easier. You just need to lightly hit the sand behind the ball like an approach shot.

It is perfect for women or senior golfers who have relatively less power. The low-center-of-gravity blade face strikes the ground first, preventing the head from digging deeply into the sand. Carry distance can be adjusted depending on the backswing position. It comes in three lofts: 50, 55, and 60 degrees, and four colors: Gold, Purple, Red, and Black. There are a whopping 174 combinations including T-Weight 240~340g (10 levels), S-Weight B0.0~E.10 (40 levels), CPM 160~340 (19 levels), and Length 33-55 inches (23 levels).

It even helps find the optimal club suited to the golfer’s swing style. Chairman Lee Dong-hyun said, "We repeatedly experimented under various conditions with domestic male and female tour players for a long time to find specs that make bunker escapes easier," and added, "It is the utility most suitable for the Korean golf style." Fitting and production are available through 65 affiliated fitting centers nationwide. Detailed information is provided on the official website.
