[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] "Left-handed golfers' worries are over"


1879 Golf has introduced the left-handed exclusive Orak79 (ORAC79·photo). According to statistics compiled by the International Left-Handers Association, 12% of the global population and 5% of Koreans are left-handed. Based on last year's domestic golf population of 5.15 million, that amounts to 250,000 people. However, left-handed golfers face difficulties from the start. It is not easy to find a batting spot at practice ranges, and when playing night golf, they have to play with the lights behind them.


Due to many inconveniences, only about 30,000 remain as left-handed golfers. This is why 1879 Golf launched a new weapon exclusively for left-handers despite the challenging conditions. It features a black and white concept. Combining a simple and sophisticated design with excellent technology, it delivers the best performance. The set includes a driver, woods (3 and 5), eight irons (5~9, PW, AW, SW), a mallet putter, premium headcovers, and a caddy bag.



These clubs are exclusively for fitting. By disrupting the distribution structure, it guarantees maximum benefits to customers. They can only be purchased through 1879 Pro. Chairman Lee Dong-hyun, who said "26.5% of the total golf population is from the MZ generation," added, "As more golfers pursue their own individuality, trendy needs have emerged," and expressed high expectations, saying, "We will create a new market combining fitting and customer service tailored to consumer demands."
