A buddy of mine has a set of irons, and one of them has a letter "A" stamped into it. Just what is it for?

Thanks

Gap Wedge.

The A is for "Approach"

In a set I have (Callaway Pro Series X-14 Steelhead irons), it's actually a gap wedge, but like Franco said, the A stands for "approach" as in "approach wedge". The loft of my A-wedge is 52-degrees.

It's possible. However, since OP didn't give the brand/model of club there's no real way to check & see what the manufacturer of those clubs call the "A" wedge. With my Callaways, it's definite that "A" = Approach Wedge.

With other brands/models, who knows? Carnac the Magnificent maybe? And, we're assuming the club with the "A" on it is a wedge. There's no real certainty of that unless OP tells us.

I believe it's a set of Calloways. Looks to be a wedge. Thanks all!!

      2025 NFL Draft

      By mcanadiens ·

      After the Watson disaster, it really seems like the Browns are hedging their bets with quarterback now.  My guess is that Flacco is still seen as the old reliable that can play if need be, but they are just hoping one of the other three can separate himself. Somebody is going to be the odd man out by the time the season starts, so it makes for an easy daily storyline out of Berea come training camp. Still kind of thought that with the 2026 QB class so well thought of, building the other positions made more sense, but nobody is paying me to run a football team.

      I think the initial red flag is having Deion second guessing every coaching decision. Blabbering in the media about his kid being under utilized and unable to shine.   I think the secondary fear is Deion wanting to coach and turning the team ownership and leadership into a chaos and a clown car! The more talking heads I had heard, have reported that Shedeur showed up for interviews unprepared and unserious. And that is not how a #1 draft acts. it would be 1 thing if he was the most talented QB who played at a top ten school. But he played in a lesser division and as someone else stated, had to score a lot just to win (9-4 & 4-8).
