With my Wilson clubs, the wedge seems to be the same angle, style and shaft length.
Pitching wedges have a sharper angle, or are supposed to. It isn’t much different, but it is different. Here’s an article to explain the differences.
Pitching wedge is for chipping up on the green. A 9 iron is for giving some smack down the fairway.
@Dutchess_III But how are they different? I already know what they’re used for…
Just consider a PW a #10 iron. Make sense now?
@kritiper from the citation I gave, the 9 iron has a 41 degree angle, the PW has a 45 degree angle.
@Blackwater_Park Sorry. I don’t have a 10 iron I could compare it to.
@seawulf575 Thank you very much for your help answering this question! Your response was right on and very descriptive!
@kritiper There is really no such thing. Some sets have one, but it’s the same as a pitching wedge.
@Blackwater_Park Must be English… They have weird names for all kinds of stuff.
@kritiper…well wook at them!
@Dutchess_III ? Look at what? I looked at the clubs and could tell no difference. I didn’t have my protractor so I held both club heads on a flat surface and guess what? The shafts were parallel.
Google them.
