OPUS WEDGES REVIEW // Are Callaway's New Wedges The Best of the Year?

[@Noximus03]

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a Callaway v Titleist v Taylormade v Ping wedge death match!!!

[@grahamwatkins3604]

Cleveland has to be in there

[@zacks9105]

Mizuno and Cleveland too lol

[@wkndwarrior4733]

@@zacks9105came to say this

[@Captainchaos14]

@@grahamwatkins3604top three this year are cleveland callaway and the new ping wedges are surprisingly good. apparently mizuno wedges are good but i haven’t tried them to know

[@LeprechaunGinger]

I nominate Mikey for the death match! I work in wills and estates call me to get your affairs in order Mikey!

[@FROGHORN1]

PLEASE BRING BACK THE WET CLUB/BALL TEST IT IS THE ONLY 1 THAT MATTERS

[@zacharymilos392]

Initial review is cool but really ought to start making formal testing off real grass, maybe include rough and sand shots

[@Sportsfanatic7-7]

Opus took the cake for me this year. Phenomenal feel and spin numbers

[@xavierperez9725]

Can’t wait for the platinum vs. standard comparison video. Z vs T grind please!!!!

[@cleveland2022]

Just hit these for the first time today and I agree with Ian felt really nice and had a nice soft feel to them.

[@patrickbeach3070]

Hoping to see this tested outdoors soon for turf interaction. The Florida Bermuda is a different animal!

[@Lap-kw8hw]

Trying to decide on these or waiting for the platinum can’t wait to see your thoughts on the platinum as well.

[@brendanhobbart]

Can you guys comment on the CG story a little more here? Ian mentioned a lengthened hosel to get the CG where they want it. Does that mean it is particularly heel-side on this wedge? I assume the longer hosel would also raise the CG a little of course which is a good thing... I'm currently playing the Mizuno S23 due to their more central CG, and I was encouraged to see the SM10 taking a step in that direction too. Curious why some companies continue to produce heel-side CG designs as it's hard to see a benefit there.

[@ryanlocke6339]

A more heel-side CG, especially for higher-lofted wedges, helps close the face through impact faster than a more centered CG. This way, for fuller swings of the higher-lofted wedges, you don't get the open-face high right miss as much. But as you mentioned, for SM10, the PW went closer to the center for CG to prevent the left miss since it is generally easier to close the face down for lower lofted wedges. But there is always a balance for some. Some prefer the more centered CG for their swing, and some like to feel the face close down more.

[@breakandrun70]

I was thinking about replacing my four wedges, but not with Callaway, well maybe with the opus. Excited to see them come out with some new wedges, my old ones were Mack Daddy's. Great video guys, keep them coming.

[@nealfreeman01]

It's really good and wait till you see the fitting system! 🤯

[@tedyong9085]

Been playing with the 50 and 54 for the last week. Really great feel subjectively and produces more spin than my Vokeys. Need to get used to the extra spin on full shots.

[@knee1499]

Would love a full grind comparison for the Opus. Would be quite crazy since Taylormade lineup is stacked as well

[@jiverson90]

Just bought a set of the black ones over the weekend. They look like old Cleveland wedges at address. So pure.

[@TommyDawson]

These looks unreal! Extremely impressive.

[@Steadfast_Training]

These spin like no other. Just hit the 60 and 54 on the gc quad and had them spinning at 13,200 and 11,500. Literally ripped the cover off the balls

[@jimgoble6832]

Just picked up my opus 54 & 60 to replace my Jaws full face raw, the Opus are a huge upgrade. I’ve played Jaws for a while and the feel of the Opus is night and day better than the jaws. If you’re in the market, I would at least try these.

[@cleveland2022]

Agreed. I thought the Opus felt so soft compared to the Jaws MD5 and those have performed well for me. These felt so soft and smooth

[@doggoronnie3387]

As others have suggested a wedge battle would be awesome, esp if you can try in wet conditions somehow as well!

[@CarlosSaintPatrick]

Impressive performance from Callaway. Loved the Jaws Raw looks and performance wise. Not a fan of the look of the Opus, but really impressed by the results.

[@Cheddarsharp]

Great review! I’m excited for it to show up in my shop in Cincinnati. Looking forward to see the sugar daddy 3 review and new TM. Opus set a high bar and will be tough to beat

[@passwordistaco507]

Miles of golf Cincinnati has them. I hit them yesterday.

[@Cheddarsharp]

@@passwordistaco507 club champion Cincinnati has them. They just came in the next day after this video was posted. Got the new SD3 Pxg wedges, opus wedges, Taylor made high toes, p770/p790/p7cb, gen 7/black ops, ai 200/ai300/new apex, and mizuno 925 line. It was a super cool last 3 weeks at club champion Cincinnati.

[@bylertrown]

love these guys and their videos! on a related note, i don’t know why brands keep trying to compete with Vokeys. 😝

[@jaychu3850]

Ping Glide wedges are some of the best imo for us amateurs. We play game improvement irons so why not wedges? Some of the most forgiving wedges ever…looks great too. Also play more bounce people…we need it!

[@ethanperkins890]

"if you want a wedge to be a wedge.. this is a wedge" 😂

[@dominiquevanvoorhis5162]

Anyone considering getting fitted by TXG (I struggle with the Club Champion buyout) should go immediately. I did irons and driver and I have never hit the ball as well as I do now. Easier to hit, longer, higher, better.

[@blakebarone1809]

Nice man. I also struggle with the CC nonsense, but TXG seem quite knowledgeable.

[@marcroy7542]

Why is it that we never see wedge reviews on Cobra wedges? every other company but never them.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Gonna get the platinum ones, theyre amazing

[@dannypratt.]

The wedge bracket?…

[@sidtaubman6007]

I use epon wedges. What do u think of Opus as a replacement?

[@StevelandCleamer]

Idk I recently bought both the Wilson forged wedge and an opus. Both are good, but the Wilson feels so much better than the opus.

[@michaelraffi5122]

Wilson Forged wedges are crazy underrated!

[@StevelandCleamer]

@@michaelraffi5122 they’re SO good. Full face grooves too!

[@patrickhockey615]

Second this. Feels better than my previous Cleveland and the shape is exactly what I want

[@StevelandCleamer]

@@patrickhockey615 the shape on the 60 degree I bought rules. Somewhat of a high toe, medium bounce, I feel super confident manipulating it however I need to

[@JayJay-jx3zg]

Do they perform better on average? Forgiveness, tech?

[@DavisBensch]

Gonna need a wedge matchup between the big manufacturers

[@socalgolf9978]

Why their all exactly the same

[@CrispyGFX]

Truly everything old is new again

[@philipf9601]

Thoughts on compared to mg4??

[@tytuz1994]

Love ir

[@jsh_golf]

I’ve never played callaway wedges before but I think it might be time to changed that.

[@danp9646]

Which grind pattern is most like the TW MG4?

[@johnbrodnik839]

Thinking the Platinum version is not forged…

[@nanidaddy32506]

This video is gonna make me try these dang wedges I have Mizuno wedges I’m happy with but 9500 for 70yds is a 1000 more than I get on a draw wedge smh

[@BigBogieGolf]

Hopefully a full face next year

[@J_media1018]

Cleveland still on top

[@ArmyGolfBC]

Im out on expensive wedges. Im not denying R&D entirely, but at my skill level (6 cap) strike is all that matters when using a wedge. I'd rather buy a cheaper option twice as often, but thats just me.

[@marybetheby5184]

Thankfully we wont have to hear Roger Cleveland talk about technique when hitting wedges with this release..😂😂

[@michaelbardeleben4519]

Yeah they are really great looking and performing wedges…but for me do not match the Cleveland Rtx zipcore 6 tour rack in terms of aesthetics and tour grind shaping. No raw finishes and no 6 degree tour grind option in the platinum. You gonna pay $240 dollars for a wedge and not get the grind and bounce you want. Thats the only thing Callaway have let themselves down on retail launch for the recrearional golfer. There are rumors that tour spec raw opus will follow but too vague.

[@realfaux7333]

#1. Yay.

[@TaroZak]

Need lefty options 😢😢

[@ryandavidtrapasso]

Oh god fellas I play jaws raw I don’t see new wedges yet

[@cleveland2022]

Yeah did not like the look of the Raw wedges. To me the rust look was very distracting, and not confidence inspiring. These look great

[@michaelmontgomery5525]

The pricing of these wedges are getting ridiculous now! There is no way they are worth the extra cost over what is already available. I'll admit I was interested up until I saw the cost. I'll stick to Cleveland and Wilson wedges.

[@JLong2544]

I am not sure I got value out these videos from CC lately. Alain’s skill can play with any wedges and I don’t know how it related and help me replace my existing wedges and most of them from major brands.

[@random_dad99]

Can’t wait for you guy to buy some land and be able to have an indoor to outdoor hitting bay 🙄🤷‍♂️

[@tomlassar1089]

c'mon--no way to really assess wedge performance off of an indoor mat !

[@cadillacstsv8312]

I'm sorry, but you can't do a wedge review off of a mat. Come on guys.....

[@23rounder]

I couldn’t agree with this more. Personally I think all irons should be tested and fitted outside but with wedges I don’t even see how testing inside adds any value.

[@guillermo6032]

I think that all new wedges are actually a rip off, no difference to wedges from 5-10 years ago.

[@socalgolf9978]

This! No tech in wedges their all the same .

[@colinwalker7466]

My wedge collection are 2-24 years old and get rotated in and out depending on weather and/or season. Just want a wedge to suit my eye and let me hit the shots I want. Not bothered about age, tech nor spinning it off the green 😅

[@Tigersmundo]

Taylor-made embargo ends when?????
