Callaway unveils all-new Opus SP+ wedges

Published

Feb 24, 2026

Callaway has today introduced its all-new Opus SP+, a new extension of the brand’s Opus SP family.

Featuring a Spin Pocket construction and tungsten tour-preferred shaping with an even higher center of gravity for more spin and precision, the wedges are available at retail March 6th and are priced at $229.99 per wedge.

“Opus SP+ takes on the best qualities of Opus SP, with lower launch, more spin, and engineering control. We’ve taken the Spin Pocket and made it larger; we’ve hollowed out more of the sole and doing that allows us to put Tungsten up in the topline. We have a larger Spin Pocket than we had in Opus SP. We’ve also added even more Tungsten up top to raise the CG, which allows us to flight the ball lower for more control.” – Brian Herr, R&D Manager – Wedges

Spin Pocket Construction

Opus SP+ features a re-engineered 3-piece construction head design (Tungsten, MIM Face, Cast 8620 Body) that strategically reshapes mass to optimize CG locations – with a 25% larger Spin Pocket compared to Opus SP. The construction redistributes weight higher, raising the CG, in design to promote a more penetrating launch. The result? More spin and enhanced control, in particular for when you need to flight shots or attack tight pins.

Tungsten Weighting

Positioned on the topline of the wedge, there is 23% more tungsten in Opus SP+ compared to Opus Platinum. The tungsten works in tandem with the Spin Pocket Construction to raise the CG even higher, in a bid to generate more spin and a flighted launch – from full shots to pitches around the green.

New Spin Gen 2.0 Face

Per Callaway, this is the most advanced face in Opus history. A new 17° groove angle with tighter pitch spacing is designed to deliver more groove edge contact for more consistent spin across a variety of lies. Combined with a deeper cross-hatch laser pattern across the face, Spin Gen 2.0 aims to offer enhanced friction for more bite and stopping power on all types of approach shots.

Shape 6 – Tour Validated Profile

Trusted by Tour players for its clean, confident look at address, Shape 6 offers precise leading edge shaping and refined sole geometry. Shape 6 is the 6th and final iteration in the Opus prototype shaping phase.

Grinds + Specs

Opus SP+ is available in Z Grind (friendly-low bounce option), a new X Grind (for maximum greenside versatility), and S Grind (for every situation). Specs are optimized with increased lob/sand wedge swingweights to D5 (D3 for Gap and PW). Shafts are True Temper DG S200, and True Temper Icon Velvet Grips.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
