Man, I just love my 815 but that is a sweet looking club. I will try to hold out for a while

Lofted up to what degree brother?Spent about 20 minutes on the range with this one today. I cant get into a lot of the tech details yet, about adjustments and such, but I think it will surprise some people that are viewing it as a driver with two gravity cores. As usual in the goal to beat real media to the punch, some places put up incorrect info.
This thing is really low spinning for me. I lofted it up and was hitting the ball pretty well, so hard to tell on forgiveness so far. More coming soon.
Lofted up to what degree brother?
Basically it was explained to me the Core weight is moved to address a miss. High toe, the weight goes up in the toe. If your miss is low heel, you move the weight down into the heel section and the other weight/plug is moved into the other chamber. There was also a weight in the back center like the standard weights in the current drivers.
Everyone that buys this can go ahead and send their old 815 heads to me
Oh goodness... another club that I will be forced to look into lol
They will definitely be out at the range for people to demo.
I hate this stuff. I am not hitting my driver well right now and they come out with a beauty like this! not only am I getting thinner but I can see my wallet getting thinner too....lol
Kinda sounds like this one will be fun to hit for those who get the early opportunity. Would you put it at DBD low spin? Or still too early to tell?
Unless I missed something, that number is probably not ideal for shiels at all.I just watched the video reviews that Rick Shiels did on YouTube. I'll be honest, I'm not blown away by the new GBB but I'm loving the looks of it compared to the previous Big Bertha with the sliding weight.
As for the 816 DD, I think they've got a winner with this thing (at least from the numbers that Rick Shiels put up). Sub-2000 spin consistently is pretty darn impressive. I know everyone will hit this thing differently but that kind of consistency is pretty solid. And, again, I'm loving the matte black with the grey-ish face. I think it frames the ball really well. This head with the right shaft pairing could be pretty awesome.
I'd say September is a solid guess.Anyone have a more concrete idea of when this will be on sale to the public? Have heard rumblings about late August/September, but only because that matches Callaway's release schedule last year.
Fingers crossed!I'd say September is a solid guess.
It was kind of hard to tell since he was on GC2 and you couldn't see the real ball flight compared to the launch monitor results. The LM obviously showed a crap ton of roll after the ball landed but I'd suspect that you'd definitely see the knuckle ball effect at those spin rates. I guess the encouraging thing, as you mentioned, is that higher spin guys (myself included) could possibly see a solid reduction in spin numbers with this new head. One would hope from what I've seen thus far, at least.
