[Asia Economy Reporter Tae-won Choi] Gobungtal (1879 GBT series·photo) is a new concept utility club that combines the advantages of wedges and utilities, providing the best solution for bunker escapes.
Gobungtal is designed to lower the overall weight of the club while concentrating the weight in the head for easy control. Escaping from bunkers is one of the biggest challenges for beginner golfers. Gobungtal features a blade (leading edge) with a bounce that covers two-thirds of the entire sole. By lightly striking the sand behind the ball as if making an approach shot, it is easy to escape from bunkers. It is perfect for women and senior golfers with less strength.
Not only for bunkers but also for chip shots around the green and running approaches, it allows relatively easy execution of various shots and helps reduce the chances of duff shots and topped balls on tight lies, aiding in stable saves.
A representative from 1879 Golf said, “Customers who had difficulties with chip shots around the green (10~20M) showed positive reactions after using Gobungtal, and we believe that the psychological stability provided by Gobungtal and the use of bounce played a significant role.”
Gobungtal offers three basic loft options: 50 degrees, 55 degrees, and 60 degrees. It can be customized with over 1.74 million combinations including T-Weight (g) 240~340g (10 levels), S-Weight B0.0~E.10 (40 levels), CPM 160~340 (19 levels), and Length 33~55 inches (23 levels), making it easy to create tailored clubs.
Gobungtal, providing the best solution for bunker escapes, is available for purchase at 1879 Golf direct stores and online at 1879 Shopping.
