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.

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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
