Another clear-cut winner from Callaway. The new 2014 Callaway Big Bertha driver boasts many enhancements including its adjustable features and sliding eight-gram weight; this drives more ball speed and the ultimate forgiveness.
You owe it to yourself to give the 2014 Callaway Big Bertha a spin.
STREET PRICE: $400
LOFTS: 9, 10.5, 13.5HT (all adjustable)
TECH TALK: Eight settings on the adjustable hosel independently change loft and lie angle. A sliding eight-gram weight in the back adds a draw or fade bias. The re-engineered variable-thickness face is designed for a larger sweet spot than last year’s RAZR Fit Xtreme, and a lightweight composite crown makes a more traditional D-2 swingweight possible.
PLAYER COMMENTS:
L: “There’s a ton of adjustability without it being in your face.”
M: “A powerful feel: muted, but crisp and pleasing. Plenty of giddy-up at impact.”
HOT: Callaway has smartly enhanced its adjustable features, including the sliding eight-gram weight. Plus, this driver gets two big things right: ball speed and forgiveness.
NOT: If you’ve got “man hands,” the small dual rings on the adjustable hosel can be a little tricky.
