-RR Wedges were used throughout this season to excel on the international circuit and secure a spot on the LIV Tour-
ORANGE COUNTY, CA – PROTOCONCEPT GOLF, a distinguished Japanese designer and manufacturer of premium golf equipment, is pleased to announce that an international advocate of the brand successfully secured a position on the 2026 LIV Tour using the company’s new RR Wedges.
This accomplished Japanese golf professional secured victories at The Crowns tournament and the Moutai Singapore Open this season, propelling him to a second-place finish in the international standings earning his entrance to the 2026 LIV Tour.
“His performance this season, culminating in the opportunity to compete on the LIV Tour, is truly commendable,” stated Marcy Kamoda, CEO of PROTOCONCEPT GOLF. “We congratulate him on this achievement and express our sincere gratitude for his continued support of our RR Wedges.”
The RR Wedges come in three sole designs. The champion, now a LIV Golf Professional, uses the Neutral Sole (NT) for both the 50-degree and 54-degree wedges, and prefers the Sweeper Sole for the 60-degree wedge.


Three RR Wedge Sole Options
Neutral Sole (NT) – Loft 46°–58°
The Neutral Sole delivers reliable results on full swings and offers forgiveness from different lies. Its chamfered leading edge paired with a sleek trailing edge enhances how the club interacts with the turf, contributing to smoother play
Aggressive Sole (AG) – Loft 56°–60°
The Aggressive Sole is engineered for golfers who tend to strike downward on the ball, incorporating a sophisticated weight distribution system that reduces face rotation. This design enhances shot accuracy and enables more controlled shot execution.
Sweeper Sole (SP) – Loft 56°–60°
The Sweeper Sole provides consistent performance, smoother turf movement, and improved bounce for greater playability and control.
