Callaway’s Opus SP+ wedge hides its best feature on the INSIDE. In this video I break down the “spin pocket” — a hollowed-out chamber and high-tungsten weighting that raises the center of gravity to give better players a lower, more piercing, higher-spin ball flight.
Here’s what I cover:
• What the “spin pocket” actually is and where it lives in the head
• Why raising CG (the opposite of your driver) is the secret to flighting wedges down
• How the SP+ differs from the standard SP and SP Platinum (25% bigger pocket, more tungsten)
• Who the SP+ is GREAT for — and who should skip it (high-flight strugglers, wet-condition players)
• On-course testing with the 60Z grind at Grand Cypress, Orlando
If you play a sand or lob wedge (54°–60°) and want more control and spin into greens, this one’s worth understanding before you buy.

You mention a Z grind. Is that something you can use around the green and on full shots?
These wedges are great. I have the 52* 10S in the regular SP. Look great at address and so easy to hit. I have the regular Opus in a 58*
