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. Your dad was Lee Trevino? My apologies to Morewood; I hadn't read the whole thread before posting this.

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, donât know. Why play pasture pool, donât know. What I do know is that the wedge looks used and the 10 doesnât. Hint maybe. đ I haven't used the 10 because of the 14 club rule and I always use the PW when I would use a 10. 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. Do it like we do it with rifles...take them to the practice range and hit them, and see which one you'd rather have when a 9-iron is just a bit too much.

Maybe this offers some insight. Just by how clubs are numbered, it seems logical that it falls between a 9 -iron and a PW. A Gap Wedge maybe? https://www.answers.com/Q/Is_the_No_10_Iron_a_Pitch_or_Sand_Wedge

When I had my private range I used to play pasture pool by setting golf balls from 50 to 300 yards and shooting them. Bottom hit out of a 22LR at 50 is an impressive chip shot. Bottom shots with centerfires @150 were awesome drives. đ

It doesnât really matter what you call them, the loft is what matters and that changes. The pitching wedges used today are about the same loft 8 irons were 25 years ago.

Excellent. Good find. What is a 10 iron golf club?A 10 iron is usually found in Callaway golf sets of irons, it is basically a pitching wedge. I have an old set of Yonex ADX irons and it has 3-10 iron with P and S wedge. The standard wedge degrees are as follows:Flop Wedge-64 degrees Lob Wedge-60 degrees Sand Wedge-56 degrees Gap Wedge-52 degrees Pitching Wedge-49/48 degrees I believe the 10 iron is around 44-45 degree. But the better question is do you need one in your bag?

This is amazing! We've gone three pages (by my screen) and have yet to hear from anyone denouncing golfers, golf, and everything connected with it.

My dad bought his first set of golf clubs from a coworker in '63 or '64 and had irons 2 thru 10 and woods 1 (driver) thru 4 + a putter. The local public course we had didn't allow players under 12 or 13 to play, so I had to wait a year or two before playing. When I did start, dad just split his set with me - he took the "odds" which left me with the "evens". A new putter and a cheap bag and off we went. So, I grew up using a 10 iron. Haven't played in about 10 years, but never was able to hit a driver - got a driving iron (1) instead,

I had a set long ago that I think had a 10 iron, but I donât recall whether there was a PW included (I donât think it did). It was an older set and back then the lofts werenât as strong as they are today.
Todays stronger lofts stroke the egos of some golfers making them think theyâre hitting the ball farther.

I carry 5 wedges, 44, 48, 52, 56, and 60.
My 9i is 40.
I refer to these as Approach, Pitching, Gap, Sand, and Loft wedges.
Itâs not all about loft either. Might wanna check the bounce, although I would expect bounce differences to become more useful in the higher lofted wedges.

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°.
Except for the lob wedge, gap wedge and sand wedge.

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) from that picture the 10 looks wider on the bottom therefore has more bounce and loft, would likely be between the P and S wedge. My Ping set has P, U, S and L wedges. Full swing I hit them 125, 105, 90 and 60, I only use the P and S in play, my shots aren't consistent enough to play that may wedges. Probably the 10 is the same as my U wedge. Kent

My high school golf team buddy, who is still a 70's shooter, came over to the house this morning and I showed him my clubs and he said he could tell, just by looking, that my PW had more loft than the 10 iron, so I am going to put it in my bag and play it. I'm going to remove the 3 iron.

Interesting. Thanks, JoeBob. Thatâs why people today commonly carry three or four wedges when in the past they might have a pitching and sand wedge. Lofts in all the clubs have gotten stronger so there are gaps on the bottom that have to be filled with wedges. Thatâs also a reason average golfers canât hit long irons anymore. Todayâs three iron ainât too far off that one iron that used to be so difficult to hit.
