  We explore a set of jet substructure observables that use grooming techniques
such as the Soft Drop procedure by performing simulations with the hybrid
strong/weak coupling model for jet quenching. The results obtained for the
observables presented in this proceedings, namely the number of Soft Drop
splittings, or $n_{\rm SD}$, and the sharing momentum distribution $z_g$ for
different angular cuts between the two main branches in a jet, can be easily
understood as arising from the fact that among all the jets with a given jet
$p_T$, those jets which are wider in opening angle, meaning that they have a
higher jet mass and come from showers featuring more splittings, tend to lose
more energy than the narrower jets. We comment on the comparison to data from
ALICE and CMS, and point out the caveats arising from the consideration of
smearing effects due to the presence of a large fluctuating background.
