Please, when you can, go and hit a few with your Ventus blue shaft and let me know your thoughts.I wanted to try the B21 with the ventus blue yesterday at the scramble, but my wrench was inadvertently left at home, so I rolled with the RCH.
I will reiterate what others have said the B21: it is not a mask for a truly **** swing. You can still slice it. That said, if you are just a bit off , the lateral mitigation is crazy.
I am a big fan of the sound / feel of the standard Mavrik but I will echo James here, I think this thing is better. Touch more solid. It’s pure joy to hit.
The RCH just works. It still feels a touch loose in the tip to me, but it straight up performs. I am not a long ball hitter, but the stability of the head and shaft encourage me to really go after it, snd the number of straight and baby fade bombs yesterday were sky high. Touching 300 twice into the wind, and I don’t say that to brag, as it isn’t the norm, but only to highlight that B21 makes ZERO concessions when it comes to distance.
it’s a marvel. I don’t know how they did it, but I’m glad they did. I encourage anyone on the fence to just try it. Even if you might not think it’s for you, at least hit it. It’s really fun.
And the blue crown is perfect.
RCH 65 in mine. Will swap in my ventus blue 6s next time outPlease, when you can, go and hit a few with your Ventus blue shaft and let me know your thoughts.
From your post, it looks like you really liked the RCH performance. Was it the 55 or 65?
Hey, 300 is longer than me and most of the world, time to retire that not a long ball hitter thingI wanted to try the B21 with the ventus blue yesterday at the scramble, but my wrench was inadvertently left at home, so I rolled with the RCH.

I think the fear of left thing is being overplayed in the heads of many when it comes to thinking about this. It’s not going to magically cause hooks or for faders to start hitting draws automatically. It definitely takes flights to more neutral though.I feel like this is a driver a person tries, hits the first 2 left and from there out adjusts and the rest is fantastic.
It’s a driver you can adjust to very quickly.
IMO
The most apt quote in this thread from Sir HarryPotter >>> You can still slice it. That said, if you are just a bit off , the lateral mitigation is crazy.
Not every time , but have had a couple both rounds out with the b21. I just can’t believe how good it is.Hey, 300 is longer than me and most of the world, time to retire that not a long ball hitter thing
So we can expect the full review today? Different shafts, thoughts, experiences, likes and dislikes? In the bag, not in the bag, etc.???????I wish I could get a 7.0 version.
More on that today though!
There will be an update.So we can expect the full review today? Different shafts, thoughts, experiences, likes and dislikes? In the bag, not in the bag, etc.???????
I CANNOT WAIT.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My options for golf equipment when I go into town is a small Edwin Watts and DSG. Neither had the B21 driver. I even had trade bait in the trunk.
Looks really good with the Evenflow shaft.Played a round today. Hit a couple of bombs. Got to hole 17 next to my house and checked the porch (course was backed up all the way around) and got my Project X Evenflow white in. The blue pops so much with that white. Did not get the extra weight in but on 18 caught a high toe high draw into a 10-15 mph wind and hit it 235 (a good number for me period, but a phenomenal number into the wind). This head has so much pop it's ridiculous. I hit 2 other bombs with this today and I also had some misses all over the face (I am still a mediocre golfer) but those misses all had pop on them and felt launchy. The face on this thing is fire.
That looks like a deadly combo.View attachment 8965562
this is a good look
09-26-20 Testing at driving range
I took the Big Bertha B21 out to the localdriving range this afternoon. I was pretty amped to hit this driver again after getting some pretty stellar numbers on the sim earlier this week. I had my reservations though. I know that sometimes what you see on the simulator doesn’t manifest itself in real time.
So, how did this new Callaway driverperform?! Well...it basically lived up to all the “hype” surrounding it at launch! Folks, it isn’t hype, it’s the “Truth!” Callaway has a sure enough unicorn here.
My first swing produced a pushy-fade. IfI had been hitting my gamer, that ball would have ended up at least one fairway over. This one just gently faded out to the right edge of the range. After that initial bad(better result than most I have hit in the last year), this club proved what it could do! Everything was either straight or with a little draw! I couldn’t believe it! As a serial slicer, it was absolutely astonishing! The ball launches quickly off the face resulting in a mid-high trajectory and seemed like it was carrying forever before it landed. And, something I couldn’t get out of my current gamer...when the ball landed, I could see it hop and continue to roll!
I, in true internet golfer fashion, tinkeredwith the opti-fit adapter. I de-lofted the BB B21 1°. Hoping for a lower ball flight. The trajectory lowered slightly, but it seemed like I wasn’t getting the same output in the stock setting. So, I put it back in the stock position and just lowered my tee height a touch.
This driver is super forgiving and LONG!Callaway truly have created a forgiving, low spin, draw based driver that absolutely hammers the ball! This driver would probably benefit 80% of the members on the forum! If ego didn’t get in the way.
Lastly, I want to talk about the “madefor” RCH shaft. I had concerns about hitting such a light shaft. After giving it the ol’ waggle test, I definitely was apprehensive! BUT...there’s something to this thing! It feels loose or super active when you waggle it back and forth, but when you make a full swing, it feels great! My current gamer has a Project X HZRDUS Black Smoke 6.5 60g shaft. My favorite is the standard HZRDUS Black 6.0. There is some definite voodoo here. I can feel where the club head is at all times. It’s stable without being overly stout, it’s smooth in transition, and definitely tip active. This shaft and club head combo works really well! I’ve not gone after one yet because I won’t have my stint removed until next week, but I want to see what this combo can do when I really hammer on it!
My only critiques so far are...1-I need acorded grip due to the humidity and I’m not a huge fan of the “bullseye” on the face. It’s just not my cup of tea. But, that’s just trying to find a negative with this driver.
I guess the only thing left to do at thispoint is to update my WITB!
