![]() ![]() “Again, when players open up the club, they tend to hit more towards the toe,” says Dawson. The weight ports on the back of the club also play a role in moving the CG more toe-ward. That extra mass pulls the CG higher and more towards the toe. To make up for the lower profile, Callaway has added a little extra mass to the toe pad. The Jaws Full Toe is still high in the toe but is more Berkshires and less Himalayas. The high toe design is purposeful as it pushes CG higher and more towards the toe for spin. PM Grind also featured a toe-peak that was damn near Himalayan in proportion. ![]() It has more toe and heel relief and a touch more bounce than the C-Grind you’d find on MD5, which should make sand and flop shots easier. Jaws Full Toe has considerably less offset and a noticeably straighter leading edge. And while there’s still plenty of PM Grind DNA in it, Jaws Full Toe is closer to a traditional-looking wedge than it is to PM Grind.Ī common beef with PM Grind was the combination of aggressive offset and rounded sole grind made it a challenge to hit on full shots. It’s important to note the Callaway Jaws Full Toe wedge is replacing the two-year-old PM Grind and not the two-year-old Jaws MD5, although you can bet the ranch an MD5 update is coming soon. You’re still getting a groove that’s grabbing your ball and hit hitting it at an oblique angle.”ĭawson says Callaway’s testing showed those angled micro-positives added more spin on open-faced shots but wasn’t all that helpful on full shots. And Offset Groove-In-Groove is at an angle so when you open it up, it’s still perpendicular to your shot direction. “Around the green, you tend to open up the club and your impact location tends to migrate towards the toe,” says Dawson. Callaway says it’s “angled micro-positives that provide additional spin on partial shots and pitch shots.” Of course, the grooves are full face and feature Offset Groove-In-Groove technology which debuted in the 2019 PM Grind. ![]() For the record, we haven’t heard anyone say their grooves are only sorta-kinda aggressive or even modestly passive. At the time they told us they’re the most aggressive grooves in golf. Callaway brought back the Jaws name two years ago with the Jaws MD5 wedge. Since then, TaylorMade, Wilson, Cleveland and a few others have joined the party.Īs the name suggests, the Callaway Jaws Full Toe features Callaway’s Jaws groove technology. So, yeah, you can say Callaway re-started the full-face, high-toe wedge thing back in 2015. And it’s one Callaway says will be more of a weapon from 50 to 100 yards than its predecessor. In other words, Callaway is blending the PM Grind with Jaws MD5, plus a dash of panache, to give you a better-looking wedge. ![]() The PM Grind was more of a specialty wedge.” “(Jaws Full Toe) is going to be money on full shots. It would either dig in too much or we’d have to add more bounce to it. “But as soon as you hit a full shot, the head would tend to deloft the club and you’d lose the bounce. “The sole was configured so it worked really well with short shots,” says Dawson. The leading edge was too rounded, there was too much offset and the overall profile was, well, an acquired taste. While the PM Grind was most useful for partial shots around the green, it was less useful for anything resembling a full shot. “It just didn’t quite fit the broader audience.” “The PM Grind was becoming more and more specialized,” says Patrick Dawson, Callaway’s Senior Manager for Wedge R&D. It was Phil’s wedge and a direct descendant of the PING Eye 2.
