Callaway launches all-new Opus wedge range – Golf News

Callaway has launched a new range of tour-validated wedges, Opus and Opus Platinum, which feature all-new Spin Gen Face technology for the ultimate in short game control.

Spin Gen Face Technology provides spin and control by combining three key elements on the 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. These three elements work in conjunction to provide crisp, Tour-level spin that promotes short game action and control like never before.

A higher toe peak, radius in the leading edge, and easier hosel transitions further enhance performance, while a complete line-up of sole shapes from narrow to wide, available in popular S grind, forgiving W, versatile C, and Tour-favourite T grind shapes, will help players with different swing patterns to generate maximum spin control for all types of lies.

The Opus wedges are offered with a brushed chrome, black shadow or raw finish (the latter for custom orders only), while stock shaft options include True Temper Dynamic Gold MID 115g (steel) and UST Recoil DART HDC shaft 65g (graphite), paired with the Golf Pride Tour Velvet +2 Grey grips.

The new Opus Platinum wedges are a true leap forward, fusing advancements from metal injection molding (MiM), and tungsten for launch control. 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.

The Opus Platinum wedges are offered in Blue and Chrome Finishes with stock DG Mid 115 steel shafts and MCC grey/black grips.

TOUR VALIDATION

These new wedges are already a popular choice on Tour, highlighted by two major victories to date. Recently crowned PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele and reigning US Women’s Open Champion Yuka Saso both had them in the bag during their victories, while Valero Texas Open winner Akshay Bhatia, Sentry Tournament of Champions winner Chris Kirk, and Dow Championship winner Ruoning Yin are also among the group of players who have already won while using Opus wedges.

This week, at the 152nd Open Championship, a host of talent will be taking on Royal Troon with Opus wedges in the bag, including Danish twins Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard, as well Northern Irishman Tom McKibbin, who recently finished runner-up in the European Open.

Opus (RRP £179 per club) and Opus Platinum Wedges (£229 per club) will be available at retail from September 6.
