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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
