I don’t understand why most wedges are not full face, all Irons for that matter. It just makes sense that the more surface hitting area you have the better the club will perform (results from a mishit). I can’t think of any shot in golf (long or short game) where hitting the ball out of the toe of the club has resulted in a better result due to the absence of groves.
