Most likely a PW but possibly a gap wedge
An E 'iron' is actually a Pitching Wedge. It stands for Equalizer, but the loft is the same as a PW.
PW means "pitching wedge"
It would be 3-PW. This means in a set of irons, you would get a 3 iron all the way down to a pitching wedge (PW). This is how most sets of irons come.
no there isn't anything good about an iron golf club and: 1.it is dangerous and anyone behind you can get hurt while your swinging 2.it is too heavy 3.its no better than any normal golf club
pitching wedge
Depending on manufacturer your average name brand iron set degree of loft is as follows; 3 iron 21* of loft { The higher the # the higher the ball goes 4 iron 24 *{ The lower the # the further the ball goes 5 ----27 { * represents degree } 6-----30 * 7-----33 * 8-----37 * 9-----41 * pw=pitching wedge any where from 45* to 48*
I found this information for the Taylor Made Burner XDs. * #4 (21-degree loft; 61.5-degree lie angle; 6.7mm offset) * #5 (23-degree loft; 62-degree lie angle; 6.3mm offset) * #6 (26-degree loft; 62.5-degree lie angle; 6mm offset) * #7 (30-degree loft; 63-degree lie angle; 5.7mm offset) * #8 (34-degree loft; 63.5-degree lie angle; 5.3mm offset) * #9 (39-degree loft; 64-degree lie angle; 5mm offset) * PW (44-degree loft; 64.5-degree lie angle; 4.7mm offset) * SW (49-degree loft; 64.5-degree lie angle; 2mm offset)
Yes. They are legal. "1 iron golf" system clubs do not normally mean using a single golf club to substitute for all irons normally used in the play of golf with a swivel head so that the angle of loft is changed. The term "1 iron golf" generally refers to a system where there are the normal number of irons in a set. However, the length of each club is the same, with only the angle of loft of the head of each club changing. The benefit is that the golfers swing never changes throughout the use of all of the irons in the golf set. The distance is controlled by the angle of the head of the club producing increasing loft as the club number goes up from 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 to the PW (pitching wedge.) The disadvantage of this system is that there is a small decrease in the distance that you can attain with the shorter club length. This would normally only be a problem with the 3 iron since this is used for the longest iron shots and therefore you, theoretically could not get as long a shot with the "1 iron golf clubs as you would with the similarly numbered conventional golf clubs that get shorter with each successive number. If, however you mean a single club with a changeable or rotating head to simulate the loft of different clubs, then this is illegal.
usually a 3iron through pitching wedge or 4 through pw. a pitching wedge is considered an iron since its usually sold with an iron set so 7 or 8 depending if they use a 3 hybrid or 3 iron. some use more hybrids than others. its 14 clubs to a bag. a driver,wood,3h or 3i-pw,3 wedges and a putter.
I have a registered set from the 60's 3-PW.
3-PW is a 3 iron through to pitching wedge. 4-AW is 4 iron through to approach wedge, and approach wedge is mainly referred to as a Gap wedge as it fills the gap between a pitching wedge and a sand wedge, it is usually around 50-52 degrees of loft. The 4-AW set allows a player who maybe doesn't like long irons to have more scoring options on the shorter shots. Although it would not be uncommon for someone to have 3-PW, then a gap wedge and a sand wedge.
