Arriving at THP's New York branch this week will be the Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 816 Fairway Wood. If you are looking for a compact fairway wood that is loaded with technology, this should grab your attention. We will use this thread to update with thoughts and feedback throughout the testing process.
Tech Features & Benefits
High Ball Speed From Cup Face Technology
Good players already generate high ball speeds, and the Forged Hyper Speed Face Cup will generate ball speed on center and off-center shots with this fairway wood.
Tour Preferred CG Positions
Move the adjustable weights (3g and 16g) for the ball flight you want to play. When you want to lower spin put the weight forward, and when the weight is back you’ll have more forgiveness with higher launch. It can be a long option off the tee or a more playable club on approach shots - it all depends on how you want to use it.
Modern Shaping and Sole Design
A slightly larger head provides more MOI than you would expect out of an elite player’s fairway wood. The sole design provides control from a variety of lies. The matte black finish provides an uncluttered look at address.
OptiFit Adjustability
Tune the fairway wood 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.
The Big Bertha Alpha 816 Fairway Wood can be found in stores on 9/18/2015. The price for these clubs will be $299.99 and they can be purchased in lofts of 14, 16, and 18 degrees.
