I believe attack wedge and gap wedge are just different names for the exact same club .... the club to fill the gap in loft between PW and your sand wedge. With PW lofts getting stronger all the time, gap wedges are pretty popular.
Attack wedge is a newer term, probably born for marketing reasons as it sounds cooler

I don't believe it's so. Because its made by the oem, it's made to follow the pw, which is never going to be 52* in today's iron sets.
I'm going to say that it depends on the manufacturer in my set of Cleveland's i had a D wedge @ 50 degrees it was after my pitching wedge and now in my set of cobra's I have a G wedge also at 50 degrees. I think when you get into wedges it's more important to look at the loft rather than the letter on the bottom. I still don't know what the D stood for.
A little off topic here but, My next purchase will be a 52* wedge. I plan on carrying a P,A,G,S,L. Seems crazy, but I have about a 25 yd gap between my A and S wedges right now. They are 49* and 56* respectively. AW is a burner the 56 is a vokey. I think that also contributes to the gap problem.

You could do that, but I'd just bend the 49 to 50 and the 56 to 55 and have 5 degree gaps through my wedges.

I ended up getting t 52* wedge and I am already liking it. I now have what is considered 5 wedges in my bag. PW, AW, 52*, 56* and 60*. I never really like taking partial swings with my burner AW. Now I feel like I have 3 wedges that allow me to do different things around the green and from 100 yards and in.
I didn't use my 3 wood much and could only hit maybe 5-10 yards longer than my 2h. Hopefully this is a change that will increase my scoring opportunities.
D stands for dammit, which is what you say after mis-hitting it again.I'm going to say that it depends on the manufacturer in my set of Cleveland's i had a D wedge @ 50 degrees it was after my pitching wedge and now in my set of cobra's I have a G wedge also at 50 degrees.

I always thought AW meant approach wedge and was pretty much the same thing as a GW. Like G4L says I have never seen a PW GW/AW SW set ever. Not saying it doesn't exist.
If you have a low lofted PW I suppose you could call your next wedge an AW, next a GW, then SW, LW. Something like 44 48 52 56 60. I could see a 48 wedge getting an AW designation as lofts become increasingly strong.
Another name for the Approach/attack/gap wedge is the utility wedge, I think Ping is the only one to use that name/letter.
