So i just got a job at a local golf shop and the Callaway rep's were in today showing us the new Big Bertha Line of drivers and 3 woods.... all i can say is wow..

The look is great sleek, the bottom is red and Blue and looks great

the feel, I cant believe how light this club is for having the choices for changing the weights for a draw or fade type of shot. The club just flows through the swing with no effort. right away I'm smashing the ball and it comes of very hot, better than my Xhot club. the miss hits didnt feel bad at all.

And the other driver was called the Big Bertha alpha.. it has a weight that can be flipped over to help reduce spin. this driver felt really nice too.

All i can say is once this club hits the market, i think I'm going to have to trade up.

take a look at the club here.

So it looks like that is the sldr's competition? That would make since with Phil hitting the sldr and Callaway was saying that they had something similar in the works.

I hope they looked better in person than they do in the photos Cally's released so far. Looks aren't everything, performance is what counts, but those don't look like clubs that would appeal to my eye.

Completely agree Russtopher. From what I've seen the X 2 Hot looks much better. Any idea when the Bertha is getting released?

O.K...I just took a gander at the club. Have to say, I'm Not a big fan of having screws all over any club, so that would be a deal breaker for me, I do however like the looks of the club.

Progress..........hum bug..

I will say that the pictures on the web do this club no justice.. it looks great, a nice deep blue and red on the bottom.. The slider is easy to move. on the machine.. I bet i had about 10  more yrds than my razr Extreme.

So that is the Big Bertha Alpha. It helps to lower your spin rate. I tried it and i saw a decrease in spin.

you can go to wrx forums and guys from that site are presently at the Callaway facility trying them all out with tons of pics...its on the pre-release equipment link. anyway, they are saying that the Big Bertha is a monster as far as distance is concerned.

So what does that thing in the middle do?

Inserted and adjusted, I believe it will reduce spin.

The thing is  the middle already comes with it.. if you move the weight to the top it will reduce spin on your drives, leave it at the bottom and the spin increases.

I'm pretty sure the Big Bertha will be $399 and Big Bertha Alpha will run $499.  The X2 Hot and X2 Hot Pro Driver will be $349.  These prices are MSRP so this is what you'd pay if you ordered today.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
