Callaway Big Bertha Driver Review
- Staff
- #1,227
I had another awesome day driving today with the Bertha. There were a few holes that called for less than driver, but I hit 8/9 fairways on the driver holes. The one I missed actually went through the dogleg into a bunker I've never reached. Everything was going straight or just a slight bit of fade. Swing easy and let it fly! Drove of the day was 250 perfecly straight into the wind. This driver has given me so much confidence on the tee, it's just sick.
Just have to take advantage of the improved driving.

Another great day with Bertha. 9/14 FWs, but the misses were good misses. I'm pulling driver more than ever.

Pulling my driver right now. Since I set it to the draw setting I have made some swing changes and am hitting it much further but pulling it. Wondering if I need to go back to the N setting.

Most of the time, changing the face angle will not rectify this.

It made me smile to see you killing that thing buddy, I kept telling Rancey how the lessons and finding the Big Bertha have transformed your game. It is a sight to behold.
Personally today I hit 11/13 FWs with the Big Bertha, I really did not have the A game to day but it seems that BB doesn't care, it is just a fairway finding machine.

Those two things are caused by the same issue. Coming over the top.
Went 6 of 7 for fairways on the back 9 today on my first go round with the Big Bertha. For someone who has NEVER been able to hit driver, I'm ecstatic. The one miss was a ball I played my usual fade on that just went straight (and long). I love this thing already.

Putt Bertha back into play today (big thanks to Kang again). She's got some bite and definitely is taking some time to transition from the lightweight Optiforce. I hit a could really nice drives with it and am looking forward to being old friends come July.

For the most-part I agree, but it depends on WHICH Bertha HC you compare it to...
Absolutely love that Masters head cover.
I had another interesting day with Bertha yesterday. Only 4 fwy hit. Still working hard to get a predictable miss. Had some left and some right.

Love that headcover Jman! Where did you pick that up from? Would match my green bag perfectly.

Black R1. It was kicked to the curb after a few rounds with Bertha.

r u using the stock stiff?
Had a poor ball striking day with my woods today, but I was impressed with how playable (and long!) my mishits were with the Big Bertha. Nothing out of play, which was great. I'm really happy with this driver on both the good and bad days.

Tim what setting? I assume stock shaft.
Another round this morning with BB and hit 11/14 FW and the ones I missed were in the first cut. I even had a few over 250 and one that went 272. Granted that hole has a downslope, but it still put a good swing on it.
Once you get the settings dialed in, this driver is a beast. This year the only club that comes close IMO is the BIO Cell.

After playing 9 Saturday and struggling with a big right miss I moved the sliding weight to the draw - 3 setting on the range today. After getting warmed up I settled in and started seeing some very consistent results. I wouldn't say I took the right side out of the "course" but aside from a few mental/tired swings I keeping drive after drive in the "fairway" on the range. The distance was noticeably longer than I'm used to as well. I aimed on the left flag and watched the ball fall right off that line. I can't wait to keep working with this driver!

I'd be curious to see the direct impact of thinking with the sliding weight. I didn't have 1 long enough to tinker, and not that I would have anyhow but I'm curious nonetheless.

Unlike the other drivers out there sliding weights, it actually works and works well, its all about the location. Saw it with multiple users in my testing for the review on the homepage.
