Rick, would love to see you incorporate some investigation in your videos when you mention things like the club feeling smaller.

I’m the opposite to you Rick, having full face wedges for me has helped my chipping and pitching no end, it actually gives me more confidence. Also deliberately hitting it out the toe on delicate chips without it rolling away because you do get a little more spin off them is honestly great.

Thank you! I think ALL clubs should be grooved across the face. My fairway wood and hybrid are. My driver has a smooth center and grooves everywhere else. Why not my irons and wedges? I’ve always found it silly that they don’t.

That's really interesting. I find Full toe makes them look bigger to my eye. I've got a Jaws Raw full toe, and that definitely doesn't look smaller than my old Vokey's. I wasn't a fan of the overall look of full toe for ages, but it's definitely grown on me.

Really like the look of those, smart, no frills a seriously good looking wedge... The full face grooves are a product of the modern short game, using all areas of the club face for a variety of shots has become very popular, so full face grooves are in line with playing all the different types of short game shots. Unfortunately Rick has always seemed scared of wedges, dispite Dan Grieve trying to change Rick's fears. They seem a little pricey, but if they elevate your short game to greater heights, then I'm sure people will pay for that.

For anyone on a budget, wedges are the only clubs you should splurge on a bit, they're the clubs that can save you the most strokes and after a full 18 they're 100% the clubs you used the most, yeah you use putter more but a good putter will putt well with a broomstick, putters are vanity clubs (still love my scotty though!).I got friends with 4/5 year old vokeys that still rip it back 20ft no problem

I'm just saying that many things today seem to have a built in shorter life span/ planned obsolescence.
