Though technically a wedge, pitching wedges are generally treated as if they were numbered irons.This is for a number of reasons: first, before the term "wedge" became common for high-loft short irons, the pitching wedge was actually numbered as the "10-iron" of a matched set, and to this day it follows the normal loft progression of the numbered irons.
TaylorMade was independently owned until 1984, when Salomon S.A. acquired the company.

Cable bindings, also known as Kandahar bindings or bear-trap bindings, are a type of ski bindings widely used through the middle of the 20th century. It was invented and brand-named after the Kandahar Ski Club in 1929 by ski racer and engineer Guido Reuge. [1] They were replaced in alpine skiing by heel-and-toe "safety bindings" in the mid-1960s.
Thus, mishits are less affected by the newer clubheads. The loft of a long drive club is also much lower than a consumer club, sometimes around 4 or 5 degrees, as opposed to 10.5 degrees for an amateur's driver. The reason for lower lofted driver heads is to greatly reduce back spin.

In a master-keyed lock, some or all of the pin chambers in the lock have three pins in them instead of two. Between the driver pin and the key pin is a third pin called the spacer pin, also known as a master wafer. Thus each pin line has two shear points, one where the driver and spacer pins meet, and one where the spacer and key pins meet. So ...
