Callaway Opus vs Takomo Skyforger 002 Wedges (2024)

Verdict

The Callaway Opus and Takomo Skyforger 002 are both chrome cavity back wedges built for the same versatile role, so the differences come down to loft range, damping and price. The Opus runs from 46° to 60° across 8 lofts, every one on the S grind, which makes it the easier set to gap at the top end. The Skyforger 002 covers 50° to 60° in 6 lofts. The Opus is also the only one of the pair tagged with vibration dampening. A golfer who wants matched lofts below 50° has a clear reason to look at Callaway. A golfer who only needs sand and lob wedge lofts loses little by going with Takomo.

For most players the Skyforger 002 is the better value. At $99 per wedge against $159.99 for the Opus, it is $60.99 cheaper per club, and that gap grows with every wedge in the bag. Pick the Callaway Opus if you want the wider loft range, the S grind throughout, or the vibration dampening for feel. Pick the Takomo Skyforger 002 if price matters most and the lofts you need start at 50°.
