I think one of the first companies to use the term AW was Hogan clubs and they called it the alternate wedge , giving you the choice between the sand wedge and pitching wedge. This took place about 20 yrs ago as companies increased the standard loft on clubs to try and help golfers increase distance, this then led to the short irons being less lofted i.e an additional wedge was needed the AW alternate wedge . ( normally between 49 / 54 Degrees )More Questions & Answers...
