The new Opus line of wedges makes use of a tighter pitch for the grooves and groove-in-groove along with face blasting to put additional spin on shots which is especially handy for short scoring shots around the green.

The premium Platinum model is metal injection molded construction combined with a large tungsten weight in the topline which raises the center of gravity and lowers the launch angle helping to add control to every shot.
