Worldwide Golf has unveiled the Callaway Opus and Opus Platinum Wedges, which are designed to infuse every golfer’s short game with precision and control. Whether you’re aiming for Tour-level performance or simply looking to improve your game, the wedges cater to a variety of playing styles and needs.
Spin Gen Face Technology™
At the heart of the Opus Wedges is Callaway’s revolutionary Spin Gen Face Technology, which combines three key elements to deliver exceptional spin and control:
1. Tighter Groove Pitch: More grooves on the face ensure maximum contact and friction with the ball.
2. Offset Groove-in-Groove Design: This feature creates spin when the face is opened, allowing for more controlled shots.
3. Aggressive Face Blast: Developed for shots around the green, this provides the spin and bite needed for a precise short-game.
The three components work together to give golfers exceptional spin and control, making the Opus Wedges a formidable tool on the course.
Tour-Tested Shapes and Versatile Grinds
Callaway’s Opus Wedges feature the most Tour-validated shapes in the company’s history. With a higher toe peak, a rounded leading edge, and smoother hosel transitions, the wedges are designed for optimal performance.
One significant differentiation between the Opus and Opus Platinum Wedges is the variety of grind offerings. The Opus Wedges come in more grind options, providing golfers with a broader selection to suit their playing styles and course conditions. They include:
– S Grind: Popular and versatile.
– W Grind: Forgiving and ideal for various turf conditions.
– C Grind: Versatile and suited for players who like to open the face.
– T Grind: A Tour favorite for its playability.
Success on Tour
Already making a significant impact on the professional tours, the Opus Wedges, which come in two stunning finishes brushed chrome and black shadow, have been used by major winners such as Xander Schauffele, who won the 2024 PGA Championship, and Yuka Saso, who won the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open, highlighting their effectiveness at the highest level of competition.
The Opus Platinum Wedges
Taking innovation a step further, the Opus Platinum Wedges, available at retail August 16, incorporate metal injection molding (MiM) and tungsten for unparalleled launch control and precision. MiM construction allows for precise craftsmanship, while tungsten in the topline lowers the flight for better control and spin. These wedges also feature Spin Gen Face Technology and are available in blue and chrome finishes.
The Takeaway
Regardless of your golfing abilities, the new Callaway Opus and Opus Platinum wedges bring advanced technology, thoughtful design, and exceptional performance to elevate your short game.
