or
- Speed = Distance: The combination of AM355 stainless alloy and an off-the-face weld construction creates a thinner, hotter face and wider sweet zone
- Stability = Forgiveness: The Nike PowerBow creates extreme deep CG. This provides a wider sweet spot and higher trajectory
- Launch: The deep undercut repositions 50 grams of weight low and back to the Nike PowerBow for high launching shots that travel far and land softly
- 70 gram lightweight iron design with low kick-point to deliver higher trajectory and longer carry
- Radical new construction method combined with a hot, thin alloy face creates the fastest Nike iron ever

Degrees are a specific way of measuring the loft of a club. Every 60 wedge has 60 of loft (duh). The loft on the "named" clubs loosely corresponds with degrees, but it varies by manufacturer and even product line.
So a pitching wedge is generally between 44 and 48. A sand wedge is generally 54 or 56. A lob wedge is generally anything higher than a SW (58, 60, 62 or 64). A gap wedge (sometimes an approach wedge) makes up the "gap" between PW and SW, so usually between 48 and 52.
With that said, a trend now especially in iron sets for high-handicappers is to decrease the loft on clubs without changing the name. My first set of clubs was an SGI set (super game improvement, very forgiving and marketed at beginners or weekenders) and my PW was 44. That created a huge gap between my PW and my SW at 56. So I needed a gap wedge. I also like to play with a lob wedge for close around the greens, but it's not a necessity.
You can see the lofts of your clubs if you just google [set name lofts]. If those are Nike SQs, the lofts are here: Amazon.
If the highest loft club you have is the AW at 50, you might consider getting a SW or LW. Otherwise anywhere inside about 100 yards and you're going to have to take half or quarter swings with that AW.
