Callaway Opus SP Chrome Golf Wedge - Graphite Shaft
The Callaway Opus SP Chrome Golf Wedge is designed for golfers who want greater control, consistent spin and a penetrating flight when attacking the flag. Its innovative Spin Pocket™ Construction strategically moves mass higher in the head to raise the centre of gravity, helping produce more spin and a lower, more controlled launch.
Combined with the advanced Spin Gen 2.0 face and Tour-validated Shape 6 profile, the Opus SP delivers the precision and versatility needed for everything from full approach shots to delicate greenside shots. The X Grind adds bounce and versatility, making it particularly effective for golfers who like to manipulate the face or play on firmer turf.

Who Is the Callaway Opus SP Chrome Wedge Best For?
The Opus SP is best suited to mid-handicap, low-handicap and experienced golfers who want greater control over trajectory and spin. Its Tour-inspired shaping and X Grind make it particularly appealing to confident wedge players who regularly vary their shot selection and like to open the clubface around the greens.
Higher-handicap golfers can also benefit from the added bounce and versatility of the X Grind, although the precision-focused design is likely to appeal most to players who have developed a consistent short game.
Fit & Shaft Guidance
This model features a graphite shaft, making it a good option for golfers who prefer a lighter club or want a softer-feeling alternative to a traditional steel wedge shaft.
As with any wedge, selecting the correct loft and grind is important. Consider your existing iron set, typical turf conditions and preferred greenside technique when choosing your specification. A professional fitting can help identify the ideal setup for your game.
