Hey guys, What are people's take on the Biggest Big Bertha? I have a chance to pick one up cheap and use as a "back-up" driver but I don't really know if it would be worth it. How does the Biggest Big Bertha perform compared to newer drivers? Anyone still using the Biggest Big Bertha? Do they tend to launch higher than your average driver?
Thanks!
Dave

I think head size might be a determining factor. Is it even 300cc? The club is probably 10 years old too. Things like the center of gravity and MOI weren't really advertised much back then, but I really loved the feel when they first came out. I'd check the specs at callawaygolfpreowned.com.

driver: G10 draw 9 degrees
hybrids DWS 16 and 20 degrees
irons: x-16 3-pw
wedges: 588 RTG 51, 56 & 60
putter: Heavy Putter B3-Mball: hx tour (I'll switch after I lose these)

While waiting for my waffle (from scratch) to cook, I looked it up. The Biggest Big Bertha is 290 cc. CG and MOI were not listed in the specs.

Your waffle is a better player than me!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
