What the differences mean
The JAWS Raw offers the wider selection: 24 loft/bounce/grind combinations against 17 for the Opus. The JAWS Raw also has the deeper grind catalogue: 5 sole grinds against 4.
The JAWS Raw is sold from 48° to 62°, the Opus from 48° to 60°. Only the JAWS Raw comes in 62°.
The scoring lofts are where bounce and grind choice matters most: at 56° the JAWS Raw offers 4 options to 2; at 58° the JAWS Raw offers 5 options to 4; at 60° the JAWS Raw offers 5 options to 4. More options at a degree means more ways to match the sole to your turf and swing, which is what a wedge fitting actually selects.
The Opus arrived 2 years after the JAWS Raw as its replacement. Wedge generations usually carry over the core loft ladder and adjust the grind catalogue, groove spec and finishes, so the older model is the value buy while stock lasts — the trade-off is the newer grooves, which matter more the more you play.
Which should you choose?
The Opus is the newer generation, so it carries the current groove spec and the fuller retail availability; the JAWS Raw is the value buy while closeout and used stock lasts. The option chart above is the tiebreaker — if the exact loft, bounce and grind you play is only in one of them, that decides it.
Both option charts are reproduced in full on their own pages: Callaway JAWS Raw specs and Callaway Opus specs.
