[Luxury Collection] 1879 Golf GBT "Hitting Utility from the Bunker" View original image


"Utility Wedge."


The 1879 Golf GBT Series (photo), known as the 'icon of innovation,' makes news starting with its utility-style design. GBT also stands for "a club to escape bunkers with a sweet potato-shaped head." For golfers who lack confidence in bunker shots, the utility concept has been introduced into the wedge, securing a leading edge more than twice as wide. You simply lightly strike the sand behind the ball, like an approach shot. The blade covers two-thirds of the sole, providing a wide and large bounce, making shots easier.


It is perfect for women and senior golfers who generally have less power. The low-center-of-gravity blade face strikes the ground first, preventing the head from digging deeply into the sand. Distance is naturally adjusted according to the backswing size. Available in three lofts: 50, 55, and 60 degrees, and four colors: Gold, Purple, Red, and Black. There are an impressive 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 conducted experiments over a long time with domestic male and female professional golf tour players under various conditions to find specs that make bunker escapes easier," adding, "It is the utility most suitable for the Korean golf style." Fitting and production are available through 65 affiliated fitting centers nationwide. For more details, visit the official website.
