refimprove date February 2011 A gap wedge , also known as an approach wedge , is a wedge golf wedge used to hit a shot with higher and shorter trajectory than a pitching wedge and lower and longer trajectory than a sand wedge . The name derives from the club s design to fill the gap between sand and pitching wedges. History Over time the loft angle on irons has been reduced for multiple reasons including improved designs and the desire to advertise longer ranges for clubs. This has affected long and short irons including the pitching wedge which is now pitched about the same as an 8 iron from the 1960 s, generally about 48 degrees. However, sand wedge s did not because they must retain 54 58 degree loft necessary for bunker golf sand .

A wedge has five faces, nine edges, and six vertices. A wedge is a subclass of the prismatoid s with the base and opposite ridge in two parallel planes. A wedge can also be classified as a digon al Cupola geometry cupola . Wedges can be created from decomposition of other polyhedra. For instance, the dodecahedron can be divided into a central cube with 6 wedges covering the cube faces. The orientations of the wedges are such that the triangle and trapezoid faces can connect and form a regular pentagon . A triangular prism is a special case wedge with the two triangle faces being translationally congruent. Comparisons A wedge is a parallelepiped where a face has collapsed into a line.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date June 2008 The inverted wedge is a military formation resembling a V or inverted triangle, and is sometimes known as a V formation . In the inverted wedge, two units advance abreast of each other, and a third unit follows behind and between the two, in reserve. It is roughly the reverse of the flying wedge formation. The inverted wedge is particularly effective for encirclement encircling an enemy force, village, or other strategic objective. The leading units envelop the objective to the right and left, while the remaining unit is free to search, attack, or support one or both of the leading units as the situation requires. Arguably the most famous use of the inverted wedge was by Hannibal at the Battle of Cannae , where he completely surrounded the numerically superior Roman force. The inverted wedge formation is used ceremonially by cadets at the United States Air Force Academy each year at the acceptance parade in the fall, when the new fourth class cadets freshmen join the Cadet Wing. The formation is reversed at the spring s graduation parade, when the soon to be commissioned first class cadets seniors leave the Cadet Wing in the flying wedge formation.

Refimprove date August 2008 Charles Wedge was a surveying surveyor and explorer of the North West of Western Australia . He was the eldest son of Edward Davy Wedge and the nephew of John Helder Wedge , with whom he arrived, together with his cousin John Charles Darke in 1824 in Van Diemens Land . From 1826 he was an Assistant Surveyor with the Survey Department in Van Diemen s Land, resigning in 1836 to follow his uncle John Helder Wedge to the newly established settlement in the Port Phillip District . In Port Phillip Charles Wedge managed the Wedge s sheep station at Werribee, Victoria Werribee and then established a sheep station in the Western District, Victoria Western District of Victoria Australia Victoria . He was a member of the Denison Plains Association , a group of Victorians that made an unsuccessful bid to settle in the North West of Western Australia . Later under direction from the resident magistrate , Treverton Sholl, Wedge was given the task of exploring Port Hedland, Western Australia Port Hedland as an alternative port as though Roebourne, Western Australia Roebourne was chosen for a settlement the distance from the coast was found to be a disadvantage. Wedge encountered difficulties in his efforts, as he was hampered by heavy rain and the tidal creeks around Mangrove harbour and unable to get to the preposed port site to survey its suitability. Wedge reported Independent of the port being difficult to access from the landside, the want of a natural supply of water must always be a serious impediment. He also felt that the deep sand and lack of wood for building made the land very inferior. It is evident that his bad report meant that the development of Port Hedland was dropped until about 1891. The Port Hedland industrial suburb of Wedgefield is named in his honour. Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

A series of thrusts Vergence geology verging towards the Oceanic trench trench are formed with the youngest most outboard structures progressively uplifting the older more inboard thrusts. The shape of the wedge is determined by how readily the wedge will fail along its basal decollement and in its interior this is highly sensitive to pore fluid pressure . This failure will result in a mature wedge that has an equilibrium triangular cross sectional shape of a critical taper . Once the wedge reaches a critical taper, it will maintain that geometry and grow only into a larger similar triangle .

Design history Though technically a Iron golf Wedges wedge , pitching wedges are generally treated as if they were numbered Iron golf 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. Also, even though it has been named a wedge, many matched iron sets for retail sale include the pitching wedge even when not including other wedges. Finally, the loft of modern irons has been reduced compared to older designs. This is both to compensate for cavity back iron designs that launch the ball higher for a given loft, and to increase the distance carried by each club for the average golfer s clubhead speed. Professionals now also use similar designs, preserving the gap in hitting distance between the amateur golfer and the pro. As a result the loft of the pitching wedge decreased along with the numbered irons from a traditional loft of between 48 54 to between 45 50 , similar to that of an older 8 iron. Many pitching wedges have a loft close to 50 . Usage The pitching wedge is a very versatile club.
