Meet the Callaway Opus SP+ Wedges

If you’re the kind of player who wants your wedges to flight down, grab harder, and behave the same from lie to lie, Callaway’s new Opus SP+ wedges are absolutely worth paying attention to.

Some wedge launches make a lot of noise while others simply make a lot of sense. Callaway’s new Opus SP+ wedges fall into the second category, offering a smart, thoughtful evolution built for golfers who care about trajectory control just as much as they care about spin. And if you’ve been following the success of the original Opus SP line, the progression here feels natural: take what worked, add more precision, and refine every detail that matters around the greens.

At the core of SP+ is a simple idea: a wedge shouldn’t balloon. It should fly flat, predictable, and with the kind of stopping power that comes from spin, not height. To get there, Callaway went all-in on raising the center of gravity. That’s the headline theme you’ll see repeated across everything...higher CG, lower launch, tighter control, more spin.

Callaway achieved this through a redesigned, multi-material construction that builds on the original Opus SP. The Spin Pocket, the internal cavity behind the face, has been expanded by 25 percent. That extra real estate made room for more mass to shift upward without compromising turf interaction. Pair that with 23 percent more tungsten than even the Opus Platinum, and you get a wedge that keeps the head stable while producing a more penetrating window on both full swings and those delicate, flighted shots we all wish we could summon on command.

The face itself also gets a refresh with the new Spin Gen 2.0 system. Tighter groove spacing, a sharper 17-degree groove angle, and a deeper cross-hatch laser pattern create more groove edge contact and more consistent bite. Whether you’re in a tight fairway or sitting down in the rough, the spin characteristics stay reliable, something better players will appreciate.

Shape is another big piece of the story. Callaway kept the now-tour-validated “Shape 6” profile, the final form selected through Tour testing. It’s compact, clean, and gives you that crisp look at address that better players gravitate toward. The sole geometry is also refined, supporting versatility without demanding perfection.

Three grind options round out the lineup:

  • Z Grind (low bounce, versatile for players who open the face)

  • X Grind (higher bounce, built for steeper swings and soft turf)

  • S Grind (mid bounce, the all-around playability choice)

Across all of it, the theme stays the same.  Lower flight. Higher spin. More control. And a feel profile softened with a MIM face for added precision.

If the original Opus SP wedges were a welcomed step forward, Opus SP+ feels like Callaway tightening the screws even further. For players who want scoring clubs that behave with consistency, these wedges are worth checking out.
