Callaway JAWS Full Toe Wedge Review

The Callaway JAWS Full Toe wedge is an updated take on the popular full-face/high-toe wedge design seen on the market. Deemed to provide total shot control in terms of spin, trajectory, and versatility around the greens, the JAWS Full Toe wedge is an adequate option for players of any skill level.

Callaway JAWS Full Toe Tech and Specs

At its core, the Callaway JAWS Full Toe wedge can be categorized as a player’s wedge with game improvement tendencies. This is due to the ultra-wide hitting area and extended grooves across the face - which aides with forgiveness - coupled with a sleek, slender sole and topline better players will prefer.

Each wedge features the namesake JAWS groove system, which consists of “groove-in-groove” milling throughout the extended face. Essentially, two sets of grooves (one diagonally cut through the face with a second, horizontal groove set on top) work together to produce higher spin rates on flops, chips, pitches, and full shots.

As with other wedges with a high-toe design, this extended face increases the overall effective hitting area of the wedge. This is helpful for when you want to lay the club open, for example, without compromising control and spin that you might otherwise sacrifice with traditional groove designs.

Each wedge also features four variable weights along the bottom of the club near the sole. This design moves the club’s COG (center of gravity) away from the heel and gradually toward the toe, which promotes more consistent ball-striking and impact location.

Finally, JAWS Full Toe Wedges come stock with a premium Lamkin UTx grip, True Temper’s newest Dynamic Gold Spinner shaft in steel, or a Project X Catalyst wedge shaft in graphite.

Performance and Feel

As someone who has a tendency to hit my chips off the toe and pitches toward the heel, the JAWS Full Toe gradual weighting was my favorite aspect of the wedge. On longer shots, this toe-weight placement eliminated any threat of hitting the hosel (which I’ve been known to do). Shorter chips maintained their spin and predictability thanks to this feature as well, which gave me all the forgiveness I needed for another common swing flaw: hitting off the toe.

In terms of general spin numbers and behavior, however, I didn’t notice anything different from my gamer wedges. The JAWS Full Toe provides spin similar to many other wedges on the market, which isn’t a bad thing. Shot distances were also similar and predictable, which is exactly what you want in these scoring clubs.

I did not care for the shape of the wedge. The high-toe design, as is the case with others in this category, is distracting to me especially on chips. Having played traditional “cup shaped” wedges for years, it’s safe to say that I have a preferred look at address for these delicate shots, which differs greatly from what the JAWS Full Toe provides. That stated, I have no doubt that I could get used to the look over time and with enough practice.

Overall Impression

The Callaway JAWS Full Toe wedge is a fine option for fans of this wedge shape. Spin rates are predictable and controllable, the full-face grooves provide enough forgiveness no matter your impact point, and the high-toe shape extends your hitting area for more creativity around the greens.

If you’re comfortable with a visually different wedge at address and keep an open mind, these wedges can benefit you greatly. If you’re more a fan of traditional wedges, like me, it might be best to look elsewhere.
