The new Opus wedges from Callaway Golf come with different grind and bounce options across the different lofts. They are very specifically designed to help with different shots. Let’s run through them.

The T Grind is available on what might be called the lob wedges (58° and 60°) with a very low bounce of 8°. The leading edge will slide under the ball very easily without taking a divot or only taking an ultra-shallow divot.

These are for precise shot-makers who are very consistent in their shot-making and prefer to use a square face at address.

The C Grind is also available in 58° and 60° lofts with slightly more bounce at 9°. Still very little bounce but enough to offer a little support. These will work effectively for those golfers who take a shallow divot.   

Again, for precise shot-makers, but these will offer a little bounce support to those who want to use this club for bump and run shots around the green in addition to the more traditional flop-type shots.

The Z Grind is available in, 54°, 56°, 58° and 60° lofts with two bounce options at 8° and 10°. This is a more friendly lofted wedge. Still for golfers with a shallower attack angle using this club, but the bounce and grind offer a little forgiveness.   

If you like laying the face open on your higher lofts, then this grind keeps the leading edge low and still allows the face to appear like it will make square contact.

The S Grind is available in, 48°, 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60° lofts. Two bounce options at 10° and 12°. You might call this your standard grind. It is certainly easier to use consistently on square-face shots.    

Many of our golfers will choose this for what might be described as their pitching and gap wedge.

Golfers looking for the maximum assistance and forgiveness on shots around the green (including bunkers) who currently take deeper divots will favor the W Grind. A really wide sole in 12° and 14° bounce across 50°, 52°, 54°, 56°, 58°, and 60° lofts.

Many golfers are unfamiliar with how to get the most out of their grind and their bounce on wedges. Spending time on this subject in an assessment or indeed a lesson is very worthwhile if you want your short game to be easier and better.
