What the differences mean
The Opus SP offers the wider selection: 24 loft/bounce/grind combinations against 17 for the Opus. The Opus SP also has the deeper grind catalogue: 5 sole grinds against 4.
The Opus is sold from 48° to 60°, the Opus SP from 48° to 64°. Only the Opus SP comes in 62° and 64°.
The scoring lofts are where bounce and grind choice matters most: at 56° the Opus SP offers 4 options to 2; at 58° the Opus SP offers 5 options to 4; at 60° the Opus SP 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 SP arrived 1 year after the Opus 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 SP is the newer generation, so it carries the current groove spec and the fuller retail availability; the Opus 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 Opus specs and Callaway Opus SP specs.
