Callaway Opus SP+ wedges improve precision spin (reviewed)

Advantages and disadvantages

✅ Higher center of gravity due to Spin Pocket construction plus tungsten provides a lower launch with more spin and control on full and partial shots
✅ MIM-formed face with advanced grooves and face texture provides consistent spin across different lies
✅ Z, S and K grinds cover a wide range of attack angles and conditions, from firm, tight lies to soft sand and rough
✅ A sleek, tour-inspired design will appeal to better players who prefer a compact profile and refined leading edge
✅ Multi-piece construction helps tune the sound and feel for a more solid, responsive stroke
❌ Limited to 54°, 56°, 58° and 60° lofts, so they are a specialist scoring wedge option rather than a full wedge matrix
❌ A higher unit price than many standard wedges can deter value-oriented golfers.

2026 Callaway Opus SP+ Wedges Specifications and Design

The 2026 Opus SP+ is built around a redesigned three-piece construction that combines a tungsten weight, a metal injection molded (MIM) face insert and a cast 8620 carbon steel body.

This design has allowed Callaway to reposition the mass high in the head to raise the center of gravity, which in turn keeps flight low while maintaining very high spin rates on both full and controlled shots.

A larger Spin Pocket cavity sits behind the hitting area and redistributes weight to fine-tune launch and spin while maintaining ball speed when contact deviates slightly from center.

The MIM face uses advanced groove geometry and face texture derived from the Opus SP platform, creating predictable spin in dry, wet and rough conditions.

Visually, the head shape is compact and tour-inspired, with a traditional chrome finish and a refined leading edge that sits neatly under the ball at address.

The SP+ is offered exclusively in lofts of 54 degrees, 56 degrees, 58 degrees and 60 degrees, each available in the three signature grinds – Z, S and K – to create targeted scoring wedge setups rather than full gap-to-lobe coverage.

The Z Grind is the most versatile shotmaking option for players who like to open and close the face, ideal on firmer grass and tighter lies where a slimmer sole and more heel relief help keep the leading edge low.

The S Grind is an all-rounder suitable for a wide range of swings and standard conditions, best for golfers who tend to play more square shots and want predictable grass interaction on full swings and easy chips.

The K Grind is the widest, most forgiving sole design in the SP+ range, built to glide through softer and rougher sand, and to help steeper swingers avoid digging into bunker shots and pitches.

Callaway Opus SP+ Wedges Review: Are They Good?

The Opus SP+ wedges have been introduced for golfers who prioritize trajectory control and spin management in their scoring clubs.

Compared to the Opus SP, the higher center of gravity, larger Spin Pocket and tungsten weighting combine to provide that low launch and high spin window that better players and improving mid-handicappers want from 100 yards and in.

They fit best in the bags of golfers who are already making relatively consistent contact and want to close dispersion, get the ball flying downhill, and attack firm or elevated greens with confidence.

Mid to low handicappers will also appreciate the compact, tour-inspired look and the ability to choose a gravel to suit their swing and course conditions, whether that’s the versatile Z, the balanced S or the more forgiving K.
