Where it wins
- Looks91
- Distance90
- Feel89
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a better player who flights the ball easily and wants a lower-launching, elite-and-consistent-spin tour wedge with a forged face and a full grind range.
You struggle to get the ball airborne, you want maximum forgiveness, or you want the softest possible feel.
Pros
- A Spin Pocket that raises the CG for a lower launch and more spin
- A 1025 forged face (forged-iron material) for a solid, premium feel
- Elite, impressively consistent spin from a new 17-degree groove and Spin Gen 2.0
- A full five-grind range covering every turf and stroke
Cons
- A player's tour shape - less forgiving than a cavity-back wedge
- A lower-launching wedge that may not suit those who struggle to get the ball up
- A solid, mid-spectrum feel rather than the butter-soft Opus Platinum
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongReasonable for a tour wedge - the two-piece Spin Pocket construction raises the CG for flight and spin in a refined tour shape, a premium player's wedge rather than a cavity-back. The tour shape rewards a clean strike, with the forged face and refined build adding a touch of polish - modest forgiveness by design.
Distance
Class-leadingBest-in-class - the Spin Pocket drives the CG high for lower-launching, higher-spinning shots, with a new 17-degree groove angle and Spin Gen 2.0 for more consistent spin from various lies, the impressive spin consistency giving dependable distances. Among the best wedges for distance control.
Workability
ExcellentHighly workable - five grinds (the high-bounce X, the low-bounce T lob, the all-loft S, the mid C and the wide-sole W) cover every turf and stroke, the tour shapes and full grind range giving shotmaking. Among the more workable wedges - the most versatile Opus grind line-up.
Feel
ExcellentSolid and forged - a 1025 Form Forged Face (the same material as Callaway's forged irons) giving a solid feel in the middle of the hard-soft spectrum, a premium, responsive forged contact. Among the better wedge feels - a solid, forged-face feel.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, snappy note - a full, snappy click that is below average in volume, a crisp, controlled acoustic. A clean, snappy note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingAmong the best - a new level of premium and the best wedge Callaway has made, with a clean tour shape and refined finishes (chrome and Black Shadow). Among the cleanest, most premium tour wedges.
