There are plenty of ways to play a shot around the green. Depending on your comfort level and sense of adventure, you can play it safe and keep the face relatively square and simplify the motion or you can make things interesting. Maybe you open it, change trajectory, move the handle or use different parts of the sole to match your lie.
Callaway’s new Full Toe SP wedge is built for golfers who like to use a wedge in more than one way.
The new model combines a higher toe shape, full-face Spin Gen 2.0 grooves and the largest Spin Pocket Callaway has used in a wedge. The idea is to give golfers more usable face area when they open the club while also pushing the center of gravity higher to increase spin and help control launch.
A Shape Built for Open-Face Shots
The Full Toe name gives away the most obvious part of the design, and the visuals are immediately noticeable. Callaway increased the toe height and extended the grooves from heel to toe for a reason. When the face is opened, contact often moves higher and farther toward the toe.
Jacob Davidson, Callaway VP of Global Equipment Strategy, explained that golfers tend to use wedges in a much wider variety of ways than they use most other clubs.
“When you get people around the green, it really brings out so much creativity,” Davidson said. “Some people play it with a square face, open face. Some people go high, low, hands forward, hands behind.”
On a traditional wedge, an open-face strike can move toward an area where the grooves begin to run out. Full Toe SP gives golfers more room to work with, along with 44 percent more groove area than a conventional wedge. The Spin Gen 2.0 grooves also use 17-degree tighter pitch spacing to increase groove-edge contact.
“With the Full Toe shape, we’ve increased that area of that high toe, which allows you to have more room on that side of the club,” Davidson said. “And by adding full-length grooves that extend across the face, there’s much more groove area to work with on this wedge.”
Callaway’s Highest Wedge CG
The other major part of Full Toe SP is hidden inside the head. Callaway introduced Spin Pocket construction with Opus SP as a way to remove mass from lower in the head and reposition it higher. Full Toe SP takes that concept further.
According to Callaway R&D Manager Brian Hurr, the Spin Pocket in Full Toe SP is 18 percent larger than the one used in SP+ and 35 percent larger than the standard Opus SP version. That allows Callaway to move the center of gravity higher than it has in any previous wedge.
“With the Full Toe, this is a new level for us from a CG placement standpoint,” Hurr said. “That high CG promotes extra spin.”
With the face square, Callaway is looking for lower launch and higher spin. Open the face, and the higher toe, added offset and full-face grooves give the golfer more room to create higher, softer shots while still keeping spin in the equation.
Hurr described the Full Toe SP as having “the best of both worlds,” with high-spin, lower-launch performance on square shots and higher-launch, high-spin performance when the face is opened.
More Offset Than Opus SP
Full Toe SP also carries more offset than Callaway’s traditional Opus SP shape. Callaway added that offset to help increase launch from bunkers and make it easier to produce softer shots from the sand.
“We’re excited to bring some of that featuring back into the wedge, and bring in some of that offset, which is good for bunker play,” Hurr said. “It increases the launch angle, makes it easier to get out of the bunker, softer bunker shots.”
That also helps explain why Full Toe SP looks noticeably different from a more traditional wedge. The shape, offset and higher toe are all working around the kinds of shots golfers tend to play when they start manipulating the face.
Callaway Full Toe SP Grinds
Callaway developed sole options specifically around the Full Toe shape.
J Grind
The J Grind returns with additional camber from heel to toe and front to back. Hurr said the change is meant to make the sole more forgiving when the club enters the turf slightly behind the ball.
“If you hit behind the ball a little bit, you’re not going to lose as much speed,” he said.
The grind also uses aggressive heel relief and lower effective bounce, which helps the face sit open without raising the leading edge excessively.
JW Grind
The new JW Grind, available only in 62 degrees, uses a wider sole and more bounce.
“The JW is, I feel like, one of the most fun soles we have ever played with, It’s the ultimate in forgiveness. You take that thing in the bunker; you don’t even have to open it up.”
Davidson described the JW as the wide-sole version of the J and pointed toward golfers who need more help getting out of bunkers.
Who Is the Callaway Full Toe SP For?
Callaway is keeping this lineup focused on scoring and recovering. Full Toe SP is offered from 54 through 62 degrees, so it’s designed as a sand and lob wedge option rather than a full wedge-set replacement.
The design fits golfers who regularly open the face, play a variety of trajectories and want more usable groove area when contact moves toward the toe.
It isn’t limited to highly skilled players, either. The wider JW Grind is aimed at golfers who want more help from bunkers, while the J Grind gives players more freedom to open the face and work the sole through different lies.
Our Take – Callaway Full Toe SP
Full Toe SP is built around the shots golfers play with the face open. Callaway increased the toe height, extended the grooves across the face and used a much larger Spin Pocket to move the CG higher. The J and JW grinds were then shaped around the way golfers are likely to use the head from rough, sand and tighter lies.
That gives Full Toe SP a different role than simply serving as another high-lofted wedge option. Square-faced shots should benefit from the higher CG and lower-launch spin profile. Open-face shots get more usable face area, full-length grooves and sole geometry that gives golfers more room to create different trajectories.
