I picked up a pitching wedge the other day that has me a bit confused.  It is a Team Daiwa 153ms-02, which I guess is a model number.  It has 53 degrees stamped on the back of the club face, but on the sole where is identifies the type of wedge it is, it does not have the letter P, but the letter F.  First time I've ever encountered this letter on an iron.  Can anyone tell me what the F is supposed to mean?  Appreciate it!

Back in the day they used to have F Wedges or Fairway Wedges. Basically an old school gap wedge. 52 degrees...ish. 

 

It could also be f grind I suppose.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I think @ChetlovesMer is exactly right that the F is for "fairway" wedge and it's another name for a gap/approach/utility wedge that fits between the pitching wedge that is usually 46-48 degrees and the sand wedge that is 56 give or take.

But it seems that is not the only unusual thing about that particular set.  I googled it and found a set on ebay and it doesn't have a pitching wedge either but rather a "10 iron." 🙂

I love the 10i language :-) I mean, what the hell. Why not just go 2i through 13i!?

Interesting. I've never seen an "F" wedge before, but that makes sense.

I remember on the old Cleveland sets the equivalent was a "D" wedge, although I don't remember what the D stood for.

My favorite club as a teenager was a hand me down wedge from my dad that I used everywhere.  Pretty sure it was Titleist and it was called a Dual Wedge - so that would be my guess on the D.

Yup. That's it. Dual Wedge.

Thanks!

Wedges typically used to have distinct design features that differentiated a wedge from an iron.  These days, any club with a high loft is called a wedge.

One of my golf dreams is to play a high quality round, on a course where the right strategy calls for regular use of clubs between driver and 4i, with driver, putter, and irons, 2i through LW :-D

To me a "D" wedge is when I pop my driver straight up.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
