Would the benefits of going Opus Platinum be more noticeable in a high lofted or lower lofted wedge?
OPUS AMA World Of Wunder
I see there is both a DG and a DART shaft as stock options. How much testing went in to make sure the wedges worked with a lightweight graphite option as well as a more standard steel wedge shaft?
The desire for more offset in wedges hurts my brain. It kind of makes sense as it is described but does it make much/any difference in physical performance or is it really just a mental confidence thing when opening up the club?

What finish are the tour guys are leaning towards? Anyone putting the blue in the bag?
I'm hoping Xander has at least one blue in the bag for the Olympics. He's already got the red putter, and chrome can be considered white in this case, right?

Seeing the tour Wishlist is really interesting! Why was more offset wanted?
This is so cool! I love the info from JW. His WoW post is really detailed.
I need the full toe for open sjots since I tend to hit them off the tow, but I wonder if moving the cg high in the hosel would mitigate that.

Ooooo……how about a red version Opus plus the chrome and blue? That would be amazing.
Red? Has to be Xander‘s new wedge if that happens lol

Which grind will be easiest to get out of a greenside bunker?

Probably 52-56 due to the very high CG. The ball will come out substantially lower

They cycle through a ton of testing for this. The shafts are picked based on performance (obviously) and the application for all golfers in a wider bucket. Both weights serve a broad demo for steel or graphite all while maximizing performance

Not sure exactly but it is early days so I imagine more options will be available at some point

Only Tom McKibbin in the 58Z that I know of
Interesting. Why do you think that is?

Because any face progression kicks the ball to the right (RH golfer) Off Set in any club will always help start the ball straight. Same with leading edge as far as optics. If it's too straight, optically it looks right biased. Obviously depends on how you play shots but this is very true for open faced players which is pre dominant on TOUR
@JohnnyCallaway for hard dirt like bunkers where the club tends to skid vs dig what grind do you like? Still the w?
