Our Callaway Opus and Opus Platinum wedges have been crafted with precision to cater to golfers seeking maximal spin and flexibility in their game. Both models are forged from cast stainless steel, but the Opus Platinum series goes a step further by integrating internal tungsten weight, providing a more refined experience with enhanced performance metrics.
Enhanced Spin with Spin Gen Face Technology
One of the standout features of both the Callaway Opus and Opus Platinum wedges is the revolutionary Spin Gen Face technology. This includes an array of creative enhancements such as additional grooves and reduced space between them, promoting lower launching angles and increased spin. Embedded between these grooves are angled microgrooves that further augment spin generation, especially in challenging greenside shots.
Exceptional Surface Roughness with Quartz-Created Treatment
A distinctive process in crafting these wedge faces involves blasting quartz at high velocities to enhance the roughness of the hitting area. This special treatment, combined with the microgrooves and main grooves, contributes to a significant uptick in spin—approximately 500 rpm more from rough conditions and about 1,200 rpm more in the wet, compared to previous models.
Versatile Grind Options to Suit Any Play Style
The diversity in sole grinds across the new Callaway wedges ensures that golfers can find a perfect match for their technique and conditions:
- S Grind (48-60 degrees): Ideal for traditional shots with a square face, providing uniformity across a variety of turf conditions.
- W Grind (50-60 degrees): Features greater bounce options, optimized for soft turf and bunker play.
- C Grind (58-60 degrees): Offers enhanced heel and toe relief for creative shot-making close to the greens.
- T Grind (58-60 degrees): Best suited for golfers with a shallow divot, facilitating better interaction with tight lies.
Advanced Construction Techniques
The Opus Platinum distinguishes itself by employing a metal-injection molding process, which enhances the precision in shaping and provides a remarkably soft feel upon impact. Complementing this is the 17-gram tungclidean topline weighting, strategically placed to lower the center of gravity and optimize launch conditions.
Sole Grind Features of Opus Platinum
For those seeking refined control and customization, the Opline in Opus Platinum wed is available in:
- S Grind: Offers a balanced 10 and 12 degrees of bounce for consistent performance.
- Z Grind: This grind incorporates a pre-worn leading edge and trailing edge relief, available in 8 and 10 degrees of bounce for versatile play.
