What does AW stand for when it comes to golf club wedges? What is the avg loft for these? It stands for aproach wedge also known as a gap wedge. it is about a 50 or a 52 degree's of loft club. It stands for 2 things depending on the manufacturer. One calls it an attack wedge and the other being Callaway, because I own one, is the approach wedge. I believe approach wedge,50-52 degrees. Pitching Wedge (PW) A loft of around 48 degrees For shots out of the rough and uphill For distances of 120 to 130 yards (110 - 120 meters) to the hole Approach Wedge (AW) or Gap Wedge (GW) A loft of around 52 degrees Meant for filling the gap between the PW and the SW Sand Wedge (SW) A loft of around 56 degrees Generally for shots out of a bunker Also used for shots out of high rough Lob Wedge (LW) A loft of around 60 degrees You can make a lob over various obstacles, for example water hazards, rough, ground under repair areas and bunkers, or uphill to the green High Lob Wedge (HW) Wedge with a loft of around 64 degrees Last Wedge (LW) Wedge with a very high loft of around 68 degrees Can be helpful for very high shots out of the bunker or for shots uphill http://www.all-about-lady-golf-clubs.com... I think one of the first companies to use the term AW was Hogan clubs and they called it the alternate wedge , giving you the choice between the sand wedge and pitching wedge. This took place about 20 yrs ago as companies increased the standard loft on clubs to try and help golfers increase distance, this then led to the short irons being less lofted i.e an additional wedge was needed the AW alternate wedge . ( normally between 49 / 54 Degrees ) |
