Don't know, never played, always thought the game of golf looked a little gay......... Can't straight guys wear colorful clothes, too??
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

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. Use that damned thing for a tomato stake.

The "campfire" is like belonging to a "men's shed", all subjects are covered and all problems solved.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Wedges are like ballistic coefficient. Fellas get hung up on the numbers and in the end, they don’t mean schit.

Bigger question is, why would you buy a set of golf clubs, manufactured by a tennis racket company ?

I've had two sets of golf clubs in my life, and neither of them came with a 10 iron. They stopped at 9, then a pitching wedge and a sand wedge. I would have to assume that a 10 iron has a slightly less radical angle than does a pitching wedge. Seems like a waste to have both in your bag, though.

Lots of golf stuff is Ford / Chevy. Hang around tour vans enough and you see all kinds of stuff. Especially trash cans full of shafts 😉 And Titleist Pro VI “range balls”.

Back in the day, Yonex were pretty good clubs. They were real high tech cutting edge stuff back in the early 90s.

It's good that they have golf. People who can't shoot have to have a sport too.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Strictly a mfg branding thing, and the mfg will tell you what the loft is, from there compare to other wedges out there. I've had a 1 iron in my bag for years, not much loft to it, not sure how it would compare to the woods, but it's good for a few laffs (only God can hit a 1 iron)...If memory serves, think there was a story years ago that Jack Nicklaus carried a 1 iron on occasion, which I believe to be 100% true, because I can.

I wouldn’t be worth a damn with either one I'm in the same boat as Hanco. I had an uncle that played. He was going to teach me starting out putting in the back yard in town. After the 2nd broken window he suggested I find another sport.

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? Because you paid for both.
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

10 iron is the same as a pitching wedge, although there is usually 1 or the other in a set of irons, not both.
