    Why We Like It

    • Tighter-spaced grooves mean more groove edges on the ball for increased spin but with a lower, more controllable launch.
    • The offset groove-in-groove design creates spin when opening the face.
    • A new face blast provides extra bite on partial shots, especially out of the rough or wet grass when you need surface roughness and friction to prevent the ball from sliding up the face.
    • The tour-inspired shape is more rounded with a softer leading edge that players prefer when they open it up around the green.
    • Four grind offerings include the lower-bounce T-Grind for firmer turf conditions.
    • The Platinum model has a 18-gram tungsten weight in the topline to pull the center of gravity up higher to create a lower launch.
    • Top 5 in Performance, middle- and high-handicaps.
    • Opus: 17 options (48-60 degrees), 4 sole grinds, 2 finishes. Opus Platinum: 8 options (54-60 degrees), 2 grinds, 2 finishes

    Surviving The Hot List: Celebrity Intern

    From the Manufacturer
    Callaway Opus

    Led by innovative new Spin Gen Face Technology™️, these wedges provide extraordinary performance with unparalleled craftsmanship and Callaway’s most advanced engineering. Spin Gen Face Technology delivers spin and control by combining three key elements on the Opus face. An all-new tighter pitch puts more grooves on the face, an offset groove-in-groove design creates spin when opening the face, and a new aggressive face blast is developed for spin and bite on partial shots.

MiM Construction has opened the door for Callaway to deliver precision in wedge construction like never before, to dial in touch and feel where players need it. Tungsten has also been incorporated into the topline bringing the flight lower for more control and spin into greens. The designs incorporate Spin Gen Face Technology for Tour level spin along with Tour Certified Shaping.
