First, they built the Big Bertha Alpha. A revolutionary design where golfers could flip cores to change the CG, while still maintaining that excellent platform built by the Razr Fit and Razr Fit Xtreme drivers. Then they took it to the next level by introducing less spin with more forgiveness in a name that should have threatened even the more skilled golfers in “Double Black Diamond” with the 815 Alpha.
Today, the introduction of the 816 Double Black Diamond. A driver that is intended for highly skilled golfers seeking the ability of taking their driver game to the next level of low spin and customization, with two chambers for gravity core customization. Add in a deeper face, R-MOTO technology, and a fantastic looking matte finish on the head, and intrigue is effectively piqued. We can use this thread to discuss the latest driver from Callaway during the testing process.

Product Introduction:
The new Big Bertha Alpha 816 Double Black Diamond Driver is built for the best players. They’re already long, and they’ll get even longer with the new Dual Distance Chambers that give them exactly what they need to get every last yard out of their drives.
You can use the Gravity Core for more ball speed, and it’s easy to do. Just pick your Distance Chamber for a draw or neutral setting. Then flip the Gravity Core up or down depending on where your normal impact location is on the face. Set the gravity core up for impact locations above center, or down for impact locations at center or below. You do that, and you’ll get the ball flight that you want to play, with maximized ball speed set to your impact location.
Throw in a faster, deeper face and our OptiFit adjustability and you can see why this club deserves to carry the Alpha name. It’s the ultimate combination of distance and shot-shaping control for the highest caliber players.
Features & Benefits
Extreme Distance From Dual Distance Chambers - If you’re looking for a neutral or draw ball flight to work the ball with more control, pick the left or right chamber. Then set the Gravity Core up or down depending on where you hit the ball for maximum ball speed. It’s a distance turbo charger to increase your ball speed and the ultimate combination of extreme distance and shot-shaping control for the best players.
Ball Speed From Next Gen R*MOTO Technology - To get every last yard out of your driver, you need more speed. That’s why we put in our next generation R*MOTO Technology. It provides the structure for a thinner face, leading to high ball speeds on center hits and off-center hits too.
A Deeper Face, Traditional Shape and a Low Center of Gravity - The best players want a deeper face, a traditional shape and a low center of gravity to reduce spin with just the right amount of forgiveness and workability. And that’s exactly what we’re giving them with this driver. The shape of the crown, the open face angle, and the matte black finish with no distractions all suit better players’ eyes when they’re standing over the ball.
OptiFit Adjustability - Tune the driver to the settings you want to play with our 8-way adjustability. You can add loft, take loft off or adjust the lie angle to fit your swing.
