Which to choose
Both wedges spin hard, but they handle it differently. The 2022 Jaws Raw has an unplated face that is meant to rust and very aggressive grooves. It checks hard on full shots and chips, but testers say the spin can be hard to control, especially to back pins. The 2025 Opus SP pairs a forged face with a cast body. Testers found its spin consistent even on off-centre strikes, with a lower, penetrating flight and dependable distance control.
On forgiveness, most testers call the Jaws Raw a demanding wedge. Opinions on the Opus SP are split, and several testers said it depends on the grind. In 48° form both have 10° of bounce and a 64° lie. On either one, choose the grind carefully for sand.
Choose the Jaws Raw Wedges if…
you want maximum bite from a raw, rusting face with aggressive grooves, and you have the technique to control strong check on chips and one-hop-stop shots.
Choose the Opus SP Wedges if…
you want spin that stays consistent on off-centre strikes, a lower and more penetrating flight, and dependable distance control on full and partial swings, and you're happy to get fitted for the grind.
Common questions
- Which is more forgiving?
- Most testers call the Jaws Raw a demanding wedge that isn't built for game improvement, though one found its strikes very consistent. Testers split on the Opus SP: some found it steady on mishits, others called it demanding, and several said it depends mostly on the grind.
- Which spins more consistently?
- Both spin a lot. Testers describe the Opus SP's spin as consistent even on off-centre strikes, while the Jaws Raw's very high spin can be hard to manage, especially to back pins.
- Which is better out of bunkers?
- It mostly comes down to the grind. Avoid the Jaws Raw S grind and the Opus SP T grind in sand. Look at the wide W grind on either model, or the X grind on the Opus SP.
