I've gradually settled in on not hitting anything inside 130 yards with a full swing, hitting anything from an 8 iron and shorter, usually with a half swing, sometimes choked up depending on the yardage. What's the longest yardage you take a full swing from, and anything you're thinking/trying to do with your less than full swings?

Haha full swing with my 55* wedge is 50 yards. So ... fiddy
 
I will full swing my 58° out of the rough green side. Open up the blade and swing!!!! I prefer not to do it, but sometimes necessary.
 
If I have a club that will work with a full swing, I make a full swing. The 60-degree wedge is the only one where I probably stop at something like a 3/4 swing, just because a full swing with the 60 makes the ball go straight up for miles with an unpredictable distance. But from 56-degree through Driver I always make a full swing if I can.

ps my full swing 56-degree distance is about 80 yards

Most of the times about 95 yards because that is where my 56 full swing is.

I’ll full swing from my LW distance out. I’ll hit a partial for anything 5i and below. For me it’s mostly about distance. Every time I play for the extra roll it never seems to come, so I don’t count on it with receptive greens.
 
100 yds with the 60

Trying to do the clock drill with less than that
 
Full swing to me means swings about 85-90% which for me is what I do with most every shot beyond 85 yards.
 
I will full swing my 56 wedege, which is good for 90. That said, I will partial swing shots out to 120 if I want a different flight.
 
95 yards with the 58*
 
105 yards with 58*
 
85 yards with my 56 on a full swing for me
 
100 yards for me. Anything less than that is a partial swing.
 
110 with a 55. Have a 60, but no way will I try a full swing with that thing.
 
95-100 yards with a 58*

But it's really more of an 85% speed

I think part of it for me is feeling more confident hitting a knockdown/half swing PW than a full SW for example.
