For a wedge, full swing is still only about a 3/4 normal swing if you're doing it right.
Maybe Im doing it wrong, because when I need 80-100 yards Im always thinking full swing with either Sand wedge or pw. My tempo is much smoother but my swing is almost the same as irons.

When I wan't to pitch the ball of course I don't use a full swing. Im not consistent with either PW or SW so maybe I need to shorten the swing.
