Pitching wedge
the goto club after the 9 iron, in the range of 44 - 48* A (attack) wedge - rarely found, I think the goto club after the pitching wedge, in the range of 48 - 50* Gap wedge - the distance found between the pitching wedge and the sand wedge - i.e. 'The Gap' the goto club after the Atack wedge if you have one, otherwise after the pitching wedge, in the range of 50 - 52* Lob wedge - the goto club after the sand wedge - the highest lofted club in the bag, in the range of 58 - 64* ANYONE feel free to correct me, heck I'm new around here too ![]() |

I believe attack wedge and gap wedge are just different names for the exact same club .... the club to fill the gap in loft between PW and your sand wedge. With PW lofts getting stronger all the time, gap wedges are pretty popular.
Attack wedge is a newer term, probably born for marketing reasons as it sounds cooler Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk |

I always thought AW meant approach wedge and was pretty much the same thing as a GW. Like G4L says I have never seen a PW GW/AW SW set ever. Not saying it doesn't exist.
If you have a low lofted PW I suppose you could call your next wedge an AW, next a GW, then SW, LW. Something like 44 48 52 56 60. I could see a 48 wedge getting an AW designation as lofts become increasingly strong. |

I'm going to say that it depends on the manufacturer in my set of Cleveland's i had a D wedge @ 50 degrees it was after my pitching wedge and now in my set of cobra's I have a G wedge also at 50 degrees. I think when you get into wedges it's more important to look at the loft rather than the letter on the bottom. I still don't know what the D stood for.

A little off topic here but, My next purchase will be a 52* wedge. I plan on carrying a P,A,G,S,L. Seems crazy, but I have about a 25 yd gap between my A and S wedges right now. They are 49* and 56* respectively. AW is a burner the 56 is a vokey. I think that also contributes to the gap problem. |

We have some good basic information on wedges, history and purpose of each on our website. http://www.scorgolf.com/wedges-101/ |
