The divots are there, but they are not really there ;)

The divot on the faces of the slopers offers a little more purchase than a traditional sloper that is completely smooth. What this means to you, is that you can engage a little more than normal on these slopers. What makes them "Steep Wall" is the slight incut. This is a great choice for beginners on vertical walls. This set will yield V2 on vertical quite easily. Maybe even V1 depending on how you grade. On a 45 degree wall, there are some random divots than you can thumb-scum on which eases up their difficulty.

V2 on vertical
V5 on a 45-degree wall

Sometimes you gotta go big

These holds are great.

The texture and shaping with the little dimples create a fun and versatile level of hand positions and grip strength depending on the angle of the wall and problem created.

If you're limited on space though, the holds have a larger footprint and may not allow for maximum coverage of holds on a wall.

That being said sometimes for fun and different movement you just gotta go big.

I felt like I had a solid V5 rating with these holds at a 45 degree angle.

Perfect large sloper set

Would highly recommend these. I have them on my 10 degree and 30 degree wall. I use the more positive side on the steeper wall and rotate them for a more difficult sloper on the 10 degree wall. They are plenty big for two hand matching.

Tunable and fun

You have a lot of options when setting these. Between the divots and the fact that there are noticeable differences between the 5 slopers in the set, I feel that these are a bit more beta intensive holds. On my 40 degree wall, these feel slightly more difficult than the "Large Steep Wall Slopers (Scoops)". That could just be because with these holds you have to be more precise to catch the divots right whereas with the Scoops you don't have to worry about that.
