Wedges: Full face vs regular grooves

I have both.

Honestly I can't steer you one way or another, can't tell any real difference on lobs.

All that I can say is that I keep coming back to Vokeys.

There’s a lot of things in life that confuse the hell out of me and the new full face wedge trend is one of them.

I'd never consider a full face wedge for anything but a lob wedge. I use my sand wedge for shots up to 110 yards out, and looking down at a full face wedge for a full shot just doesn't work for me.

I've used a full face lob wedge for shots around the green and from bunkers and it makes more sense to me on those type of shots where you're more apt to open the face up and cut across the ball. I still think the Cally PM Grind lob wedge is like cheating from bunkers, but that has as much to do with the grind and bounce as it does the full face grooves.

I like full face. It’s one of those things where I don’t see any drawback to it. I don’t know if it actually helps, but it certainly can’t hurt me. But, I also suck as a 12hc so I’m sure someone in here will explain why full face is killing my wedge game.

I was more thinking about my misses

maybe...On full swing or even 3/4 swing misshits, you'll still lose so much distance that the grooves wont help. So it will come down to misshits on shorter controlled shots. I would think your misshit rate would be much lower on those shots anyway.

IMO, the only wedge it remotely makes any sense on would be the one you use out of a green side bunker the most. Other than that, I feel like it's a marketing ploy for hackers.
