As of Dec. 2008:
Not all Taylor Made Irons sets carry an "A" Wedge.
In all sets that do, the loft angle is 50 degrees.
See: http://www.taylormadegolf.com/product_detail.asp?pID=227§ion=specifications
for the specifications page for the current "Burner Plus" model.
the sand wedge for this set is 55 degrees
Taylormade offers four options for wedges in their iron sets, listed below from longest distance to shortest:PW - pitching wedge, 44oAW - approach or "attack" wedge, 49oSW - sand wedge, 54oLW - lob wedge, 59o
The TaylorMade Burner SuperLaunch gap wedge typically has a loft of 50 degrees. This loft is designed to provide versatility for approach shots and short game scenarios, allowing for better control and accuracy around the greens. The gap wedge is positioned between the pitching wedge and sand wedge in terms of loft and is useful for filling the distance gap between those clubs.
I believe 47 degrees was standard.
The 54 is a sand wedge, SWs have a higher bounce to get the ball out of sand easier.
46 degrees. Also the A wedge is 51 and the sand wedge is 55.
Depending on manufacturer, it would range from 54-56 degrees. The most common would be either 54 or 56 degrees.
55 Degrees
It stands for "Approach Wedge" which is the same as a gap wedge and its loft is generally about 50 degrees.
The "A" stands for "Approach". The loft is in between a pitching (P) wedge and a sand (S) wedge. Approach wedges are used for short, precise shots onto the green and are the same as Gap wedges.
The "D" is for Dual. It's a dual wedge w/ a 50 degree between pitching wedge and sand wedge.
Well I recommend the TaylorMade wedges it doesn't matter the loft on the wedge. As long as it is TaylorMade it will work just fine. Make sure you get it custom fit. The the longer it is the more the ball will go.
