I have an old wedge in my bag that I use for just about everything.
Don't really know what it is.
It says its a Tomahawk "DW" Chico Miartuz signature model..

Ideas?

GW is gap wedge
PW is pitching wedge
SW is sand wedge
DW is ????????????????????????

I don't know to be honest besides probably guessing that its a club that was sponsored by him. He made a killing back in 1983...or did he :)

GW is gap wedge

The wedge between PW and SW seems to go by more names than just about any other club. I've seen it as AW and UW also. So, if I had to guess - and this is strictly a guess - I would place it at GW.

AW is usually Approach Wedge or Attack Wedge. I have no idea what UW stands for, or what DW would stand for.

And idea what the face angle is? Like was stated above, wedges have been given a lot of different designations by a lot of different companies over the years.

Ah ha, found it. Dual Wedge.

I believe UW stands for utility wedge, I have seen TW for third wedge instead of LW for lob wedge also. I vote for something more fun when you curse like the old niblik, mashie etc. #*!#* mashie etc.

"Dual Wedge"

Ding. I have a 52º dual wedge. Kinda like a high bounce gap wedge, so it functions like a sand wedge also.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
