Callaway Made 1 Huge Mistake with the NEW OPUS Wedges?

The New Opus Wedge from Callaway Golf but One thing is MISSING!
A couple video notes - 1:34 and 4:30 in the video - The Opus Blue finish I mentioned is Opus Black
5:29 in the video - The Opus Chrome does not have MiM Tungsten - that tech is specific to the Opus Platinum lineup.

[@Simple.Human.]

"Metal injection molding" sounds like a fancy way to say it was cast and not forged.

[@dwboston1]

Kind of like the old Cleveland "Form Forged" wedges, that weren't really forged.

[@ianpierre7020]

Sounds like Cobra MIMs to me🤷🏾‍♂️

[@JFein]

Modern Vokey wedges are not forged. “Forged” does not always equal good, and “cast” does not always equal bad. Just saying!

[@Simple.Human.]

​@@JFein I understand that it comes down to the preference and feel of the individual. I just wish there was more transparency and less marketing. I should also note that cast tends to be more brittle than forged.🍻

[@ryanferebee7606]

Actually, the feel of a MiM wedge sits somewhere between a cast wedge and a forged wedge. Most people think MiM wedges feel softer than a standard cast (i.e. Vokey) wedge. Personally, I've never tried one, so I can't comment on it. Just sharing information I've heard elsewhere.

[@notchosen9]

How many of those range balls did you take home?

[@Mdrnsamurai]

lmao... $180 - $230... you can keep em... costs are getting out of control... great video!!!

[@taylorhering3856]

I just bought a new set of jaws raw at pga tour superstore. Less than 24 hours later these come out.

[@michaelboen2314]

$180 is standard for new premium wedges now across the board...$230 for the platinum is just retarded

[@Jason-rr1xu]

@@taylorhering3856i was looking for jaws and they were gone but im happy with the opus

[@SteelTiiTan]

Something that maybe doesnt seem that big until you play with Callaway wedges is the ability to keep the grooves clean! My Jaws lob wedge has way easier to clean out grooves compared to vokey gap and sand wedges.

[@maness2112]

Bring back the pm grind.

[@Nate-yl8kl]

Keeping the jaws wedges in the bag !

[@briantulloch7222]

Prefer alignment with grooves, not a big fan of grooves all over the face, if you hit it out on the toe with a 60 degree (its a crap shot) its going nowhere with or without full face grooves, that’s my opinion, much nicer look with a nice face framed with chrome borders! Good video 👍

[@michaelmorales6408]

When we received the Opus wedges for demo where I work at in the PGA superstore in Las Vegas yesterday where I work two days a week. I picked up both wedges and felt immediately the weight difference between the 2 wedges. I asked my Mgr to feel the weight difference and he said he did and weighed them to determine the weight difference was around 8 grams. Great video cause I also play the Jaws Raw wedges.

[@nqcowboy6874]

As a jaws full face user I won't even consider changing if they're not going to offer it in the Opus

[@willholloway8590]

full face on the 56 and 60 minimum is a must at least for my style

[@ryanferebee7606]

Just to clarify for the audience. MiM is only a feature of the Opus Platinum model as is the “Platinum Blue” color. The standard Opus wedges black color is named “Black Shadow”.

[@mikelee5390]

I currently play the Jaws Full & before that both PM Grind versions...I love the full face...It would have been nice if they came out with full face option for these...

[@marybetheby5184]

I have a few J grind full face wedges as back ups..👍

[@pwoeckener]

Very good breakdown of the wedges, and demo with the different shots. Love this.

[@terrypeeples1942]

I totally agree with your review. I put them in my bag, replacing a set of ping wedges.

[@raisethereef]

Only the Platinum comes in Platinum Blue. What you have is the regular Opus in Black Shadow. Talk about “One Big Mistake”

[@alksjda]

The platinum blue is NIIIIICCCEEEE ! Perfect timing too, was looking for a new set of wedges.

[@MrMatthew262]

I love videos that point out the “one big mistake”. Amazing

[@tjvbham5831]

Thanks for this review. I learned some things. I agree that a full face wedge is the way to go.

[@bessergolfmitalex]

I love full groove wedges too. Therefore my gamer is the 60° Cleveland rtx. And btw I placed a piece of lead tape at the back in the upper section (looks ugly but who gives a s) and indeed the flight comes lower with a lot of spin. Love it. 👍for your video

[@newfinishautospa]

Is anyone going to mention the grip? What was callaway thinking? I just bought an opus and the grip is a full inch shorter than a standard grip. I had to buy a grip with the new club! I wear an XL glove and my thumb actually hangs off the end of the baby grip they put on the club. So dumb.

[@AndrewNeilBaird]

Tex-Mex sure out wedge , with Lee Trevino sombrero had grooves at 30⁰ to parallel across the face so when it was opened up in a bunker the grooves , and in theory the ball spin, was straight , not cutting across, so making the shot easy peasy. Can't wait for the next revolution in golf wedge technology featuring " Ai oblique grooves " 😂

[@supersoup5509]

Great video. Like how you show up close vs just talk about it. I love the jaws 60 but might consider one of these.

[@coozieray]

i cant stand the look of full face wedges so if thats the only thing holding it back from being perfect, might have to buy it myself!

[@jeffreypino339]

Same 😅

[@mikewilliams1479]

Gimme a 60 with full face grooves, 6-8 degree of bounce in a raw finished and you got me sold

[@dougdog360]

I bet they are going to do the full face as they did with the Jaws in the short future

[@scottwhitlock9201]

Yeah it will be coming in the next couple months...i got the full face jaws after I bought the reg jaws... the reg have been sitting doing nothing for a year

[@ek9589]

That is nice they have an option with extra weight. I tested the jaws and found them way too light

[@johnhoie-hj7cg]

That 56 degree with the tungsten weight really hit the ball on a low trajectory.

[@cranium33333]

Love the full faced grooves. I use the jaws.

[@chrisewalt5328]

Hate the full face wedges, if you hit it that far out on the toe it's going to be a terrible shot anyway. Love your videos!

[@JimmyRawlinson-bp4dc]

Always learn something from your videos

[@brandonowens888]

Love the full toe wedges, not sure why they wouldn't keep them in the line up!

[@myxom4647]

Love my callaway sure out eheh

[@marcuscastillo514]

Vokey’s don’t have a full face. But Callaway will definitely have a full face model come out

[@MichaelHicks03]

I’ve been waiting for them to come out with a wedge with lots of spin. This may be them.

[@nu2comments]

Did you live back to Southern California and leave north metro Atlanta? If so we will miss you at the various courses and driving ranges. Keep up the good work!

[@davidgolf3245]

Mr. short game, first one here, so therefore I win a new Callaway wedge!!! Thanks I appreciate it and have a good one. Appreciate the video.

[@steelershayabusa4550]

Great video and I totally agree on the full face

[@NonfortisCedtenax-e8q]

Cobra was the first using MiM in their King Tour Irons and wedges

[@Murf1802]

I agree with the full face wedge, but maybe a late addition, after we spend a thousand on 4 new wedges, they'll come out with a 56 to 62 opus full face , so another 300 add on lol, my first look on callaway web page and i sighed up, I just ordered the chrome opus it's the only one available so far, the platuim isn't available until August, unless your a big shot like you utubers hahaha, well at least in New York area, I can fill 4 golf bags with all the wedges I have purchased thru out the years, from every different company out there, Wilson makes a decent full face, but the best feeling wedge I've tryed is a Honma wedge, really great quality, but it will cost you, I don't dare go on muria page for any golf equipment especially wedges , I almost pulled the trigger numerous times , but the check out price is insane, hopefully one day I'll just hit buy. lol , thanks, Matt. love your game.

[@briandenton2097]

They probably will in a few years do full face grooves. Have to have something new to up sell for a new release later.

[@Pud56]

So agree with you, full face wedge would be better

[@joeylo73]

MrSG are you in Cali? That doesn't look like GA. Looks like Carlsbad but can't really tell. Love your stuff. Happy July.

[@TS1r731]

Angled micro grooves will get blasted away after about 3 rounds of hitting shots out of sand, rough, hard packed dirt, mud, pine straw, leaves, etc..

[@golf007sd2]

Not true. They had these sane groves on the Raw Jaws Full Toe. I had mine for 2 years now.

[@billsinclair313]

My preference, I use full face wedges. So these are out for me. I do like idea of the weight at top. Would be nice in a full face to try.

[@moon_wobble7782]

I play jaws wedges and like them

[@dannyc91a]

pretty sure cobra had a "MIM" wedge a few years ago

[@jerrypetersen5739]

The full toe grove is coming later

[@jacoblott4002]

Love the content my guy. Let me get one of those wedges 😂😂😢😢...please lol Keep up the great work!!!!

[@jrshields3]

Need more offerings for lefty to get me to consider leaving Vokeys

[@Alstarlacrosse]

What course is this? Thats an awesome short game area

[@jayburbs15]

MIM is an amazing technology

[@bobgomavitz1330]

Oh it’s coming! You know it….Cally is the marketing champ

[@Mackahroney]

Might just add some lead on the trailing edge

[@brandonderrick006]

That looks exactly like my Calloway CB wedge…

[@maness2112]

No it doesnt

[@gunner9010]

I prefer wedges to have grooves all the way across the face. Just makes sense to me.

[@saechoi]

can you do a wedge review of mizuno the craft?

[@jeffreypino339]

Full groves on the face are horrible for wedges (for me lol) so I’m definitely replacing my jaws Rawls with this 🔥

[@golf007sd2]

What practice facility it this?

[@notagolfer9340]

Full face would've been nice but no C grind on a 54 is a deal breaker for me.

[@CrisHansen-ig5wv]

Were this standard shafts? Looked like they were graphite

[@ecliqxse9591]

Big brands keep making stuff but it’s not the equipment, it’s the person holding the equipment lol

[@zacharysbrennan5376]

Hey Mr. SG, have you ever shown your parents on a video? Did you ever play golf with your dad? Curious to see what your dad’s reaction to your success on KZbin. Apologies if I’m asking too much personal questions. Enjoy your videos! ⛳️ 👍😎

[@shanebenson5374]

Why would you test a wedge with range balls anyways

[@chYnaRIP]

im currently looking at new wedges, and i won't bag anything that isn't full faced

[@kimale91]

Cant understand why they will wait with raw...

[@paulmcgee1867]

Marketing 😂

[@robinneibert7079]

They didn’t do the full face because they’re going to release that six months from now and people are going to buy it, again.

[@nicpaolo7940]

54-56 10 degrees is lowest bounce offering? WTF?

[@RxverWZ]

you are my fav youtuber

[@BlackArcher221]

Where are you at? That course or facility looks So. Calish.

[@gerencher]

LaCosta ?

[@see-me-9255]

these look alot like the vice wedges

[@chrisengland1]

At last no raw face - can’t wait to try

[@JonathanPajakLensCulture]

MG4s literally has the crosses directional grooves too thats not much new

[@EdKrisiak]

Opus? I think of Opie 🤣😂

[@TheCaliking03]

So basically Callaway copied TaylorMade MG4 wedges with the micro groves.

[@johnbachman8908]

You act like MiM technology is something new. Cobra has been doing it for years. I currently play the King MiM tour irons and they’re great. Callaway didn’t come up with anything revolutionary.

[@foxtrot789]

If the touch shots are so important why are you using range balls?

[@justinstephenson9360]

As Callaway is a Californian company I wonder whether the Opus name is also a homage to Opus One Wines of California (superb wine at an eye watering price). I am liking what I see with the Opus wedges but feel I would need to do a head to head comparison with, for example, the Ping wedges

[@leonardhandzlik6008]

Not impressed by their "more edges" on the face. You counted 17 grooves, Cleveland RTX FULL FACE wedges have 23 grooves. By my way of thinking, more grooves, more edges. Micro grooves are meaningless, IMHO.

[@rvoykin]

No industry is better at selling you the same product year-over-year again with such minor changes not only try to tell you how much better the new version is but shamelessly put down the previous years model aka the thing just a few months ago they were saying was the best option available

[@OneRealThe]

Bruh you're miles away from the ball. lift the club up so you get it on the air !

[@Oro-xc7vg]

MD4 still the best

[@shininigans9553]

I don't think it's a mistake not extending the grooves. I think it's just a preference thing. I like how it frames the ball when I looking down. I much prefer that over extended grooves.

[@1ifbyland2ifbysea]

I would never buy these wedges but that being said I'm a taylormade guy and I play callaway wedges exclusively. Callaway cb wedge that is lol so my wedge game isn't that good don't listen to me at all but my game did improve a lot with cb wedges.

[@TheDedloc]

Can I have one, please? I only own a 58 degree :( need more short game in my life!

[@michaelsmoot5200]

Believe in destiny…

[@paulmcgee1867]

And the price? Totally affordable 😂

[@scottsmith6871]

The reason is because they didn't sell full face JAWS wedges enough. Follow the money dude. You are the exception not the rule evidently.

[@mikemaybe5999]

229.99 😂

[@johnpaugh1607]

17 grams = .6 ounce

[@kevinvassago]

"Metal injected".... so they're cast. I'm gunna start calling my vokeys metal injected. It just sounds better

[@tomnelson8515]

In the end, they are all just hunk some metal at the end of sticks

[@edkolbe1850]

I dont care they are RH only

[@gregschulte2953]

never liked the full faced look

[@booger65man]

Clickbait title. Stupid. Immediate channel block.

[@iPat1962]

Dam, I bought Vokeys because they said they had the most grooves. Now I have to come up with another excuse/line of BS to tell my wife so she lets me buy these.🤔
