I have a set on Yonex irons that came with both a PW and a 10 iron. They look the same. Any difference you know of in loft? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/104764.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/104765.jpg) SW on right

Don't know about a 10 iron but dad always said if you were caught out on the links during a thunderstorm to hold up a 1 iron because even God couldn't hit it.

The pitching wedge is the lowest-lofted club typically called a wedge. It lies on the cusp between the numbered irons and the wedges (in fact it is sometimes labelled the "10-iron"), and is useful for a variety of short shots from firm or semi-soft lies. The traditional pitching wedge had a loft of about 50-52°, but the "de-lofting" of modern cavity back irons including the pitching wedge has resulted in a loft range centering on 48°.

Yes I did. Could not find a definitive answer. One golf forum said they are the same, but I ask why did I receive both with the set?

Your pic could be deceiving but the the #10 looks to be fatter/heavier and a different angle where the shaft meets the head. Also the face on the 10 looks to be a bit wider in the pic. Why both, don’t know. Why play pasture pool, don’t know. What I do know is that the wedge looks used and the 10 doesn’t. Hint maybe. 😀

But now, I am rethinking this, and short of taking them both down to the pro shop and have them measure the loft, I figured someone here may know.

The difference? A few degrees of loft. You’re welcome.

Technically, there's no such thing as a USGA sanctioned 10 iron. Like the pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and lob wedge, it's all a matter of degrees. Those are listed from low to high loft. The degrees can vary within those particular wedges from 47-53 for pitch, 50-54 for a gap, sand is 54-58, and lob is 58-62 degrees.
You can only carry 14 clubs. I choose a pitch, sand, and lob wedges. I broke my gap otherwise that would be in the bag too.

When was the last time your golf buddies counted the clubs in your bag? Seems a little personal. Anyway, take the clubs out to a flat spot in your yard. Set a flat paver on the clubface so that the clubface is level. The back will settle into the lawn. Look at the angle the shaft points towards the sky. That'll tell ya which has more loft, and that's all ya need ta know. Guessin it's the equivalent of a 60 deg wedge.

It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.
