By dimension
Forgiveness
Strong for a spin wedge - the Full Toe shape provides more face area with an enhanced but refined toe peak, and four weight ports become progressively shallower from heel to toe to move weight toward the toe and help on open-faced shots. More forgiving than the tour-blade Jaws Raw, though still a greenside specialist rather than a cavity-back.
Distance
A standout - the full-face JAWS grooves and raw face deliver impressive, controlled spin, the grooves giving consistent distance control. Among the better wedges for distance control.
Workability
Highly workable - the specialized J-Grind makes short shots around the green easy to hit, especially bunker shots and high flops, with the high-toe shape favouring open-faced shots, the full-face grooves spinning it anywhere on the face. Among the more workable wedges - a greenside shotmaker.
Feel
Soft and direct - the raw face enables a more direct connection between ball and face at impact for impressive feel, a clean, responsive contact. Among the better wedge feels - a soft, direct raw-faced feel.
Sound
A clean, crisp note - the raw face's direct contact gives a crisp impact, a clean acoustic. A clean, crisp note.
Looks at address
Distinctive and clean - the high-toe full-face shape with grooves across the entire face is striking at address, a raw, low-glare look. A clean, distinctive high-toe shape - polarising but striking.
