Took this to the range and will have an update tomorrow. Really interesting club.
What I want to know, is can it possibly challenge my love of the 815.

This sir is something im very curious about as well. The 815 is just so good!What I want to know, is can it possibly challenge my love of the 815.

Yes. Maybe not for everybody, but for a large segment.

Looking forward to your thoughts.Took this to the range and will have an update tomorrow. Really interesting club.

Good stuff JB. So is the lateral forgiveness equal to or better than the 815 based on the sampling done so far?
Good stuff. To say a driver could be better than the 815 is saying something.
I'm interested to see the interplay between the 816 and GBB. I've read that the GBB is set to replace the V-Series. If so, I'm wondering if the 816 DBD will play closer to the 815 than the 815 DBD in terms of forgiveness.

Okay so I wanted to give a brief update on the swings I put on this driver. It's still very early, but so far I think I am liking what I am seeing. I only had 3 drivers with me yesterday, which was a Ping G30, my current gamer the Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 and and the Great Big Bertha. I cant get into the tech yet, but it's coming very soon. I like both of these drivers, but preferred the Big Bertha Alpha 815 to the G30 based almost solely on sound/feel.
Before I go on, I should tell you that the 815 was fit for me and the G30 was not. I hit the 815 Alpha about 8 yards further than the G30 with similar numbers. I hit the Great Big Bertha right out of the gate, the same distance I hit the 815. It reminds me of the 815 and the V-Series having a Giant Baby and they name it Great Big Bertha. I got great launch out of the gate using my Project X LZ shaft (non-handcrafted version) and the forgiveness laterally was as good as I have seen to date. Very similar to the previous 2 drivers I was hitting this day.
I have to limit my swings right now due to an injury, but felt pretty good, so took 8 with each of the 1st two and 9 with the Great Big Bertha. Its going to stay in my bag for a bit as I continue to work with it, but so far so good.
JB, based on what you've seen, what segment of the population do you think this club wouldn't work well for? I realize that it's very early in your testing and the full information isn't out on these clubs, but I would think that Callaway are going after different types of players with the 2 driver releases.
But... It's on the Internet so it must be true. Counting down the days to the 4th for facts on this one to be released.Sometimes, what people read before release is not all that accurate...:angel:
