Callaway is aiming to take spin and control to the next level with the launch of the new Opus SP+ wedges.

They’re a brand that has brought us the Jaws and Mack Daddy wedges, just name a few. Played and trusted by some of the tour’s finest players, Callaway is a giant in the golf industry.

They are a brand that has long been recognised for moving short-game performance forward.

Designed for players who want to flight the ball down and attack pins with confidence, the Opus SP+ wedges looks to build on the momentum gathered by the popular Opus line.

Make no mistake, these are built to be scoring clubs. With a refined tour-inspired shape and performance upgrades across the board there is definitely a sharper focus on better precision inside scoring ranges.

So, here’s a closer look at Callaway’s latest wedges and if they have the minerals to stack up to their predecessors…

Callaway Opus SP+ Chrome Wedges: The technology

The Opus SP+ features a re-engineered three-piece construction that consists of tungsten, a metal injection molded face (MIM), and a cast 8620 carbon steel body.

This multi-material design allows engineers to precisely control weight distribution within the club head.

Compared to the previous Opus range, the SP+ wedges are equipped with a 25% larger Spin Rocket. It helps to enhance the spin rate and increase the control golfers can exhibit over each shot.

Callaway has incorporated some tungsten weighing along the topline. So much so that there is 23 percent more tungsten in the SP+ compared to the Opus Platinum model.

This added tungsten helps to elevate the centre of gravity even further which generates more spin and a flighted launch.

By placing tungsten high in the head, Callaway has engineered more control into the SP+ models.

Elsewhere, Callaway has revealed their most advanced face yet in the OPUS range. Their new Spin Gen 2.0 face which includes a 17-degree groove angle combined with tighter groove pitch spacing.

This increases groove contact to produce a more consistent spin rate across a variety of different lies.

Whether you are playing from the fairway, a bit of rough or some tight turf conditions, Callaway believes this will deliver more bite and a greater stopping power.

The overall profile is one that reflects a more Tour-preferred appearance that appeals to players who value precision and shot-making versatility.

Callaway believe it will provide an all-round clean and confidence-inspiring look at address for golfers.

Who should play the Opus SP+ wedges?

The defining characteristic of the Opus SP+ is its higher CG. By strategically repositioning mass higher in the club head, Callaway engineers have produced a wedge that launches the ball on a more penetrating trajectory while increasing spin consistency.

Golfers who prefer to produce lower flighted strikes into greens are the ones who will benefit from this raised CG.

Having a tour-inspired shape that has major champions of the sport have taken a liking to may sound intriguing, but it is meaningless unless you feel comfortable using it.

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
