Bought this pre-owned set. 3-9 PW SW Putter & 1,3,5 woods . Seller said they're 1994. However , all the google images I see have the word IRONS with a red background inside the cavity back. 

What year are these? 

The IRONS  have a yellow background.

Thanks!

According to Maltby the original Big Berthas came out in 1995:

Year Name Badge Color
2019 Big Bertha CF19 Black, red trim
2017 Big Bertha Senior Black
2017 Big Bertha OS Black
2015 Big Bertha White, red trim
2008 Big Bertha Hybrid Red
2008 Big Bertha Red
2008 Big Bertha Ladies White
2006 Big Bertha Red, White trim
2006 Big Bertha Ladies Black
2004 Big Bertha Fusion Black
2003 Big Bertha Black, red markings
2003 Big Bertha Black, red circle
1998 Big Bertha X-12 Black
1997 Great Big Bertha Black, circular
1997 Big Bertha Gold Black
1995 Big Bertha (original) Black/Red

 

However, I have read elsewhere that they were introduced in 1994. I have heard that the popular Callaway line was a favorite of Asian counterfeiters. I don't see any that have a badge that look like that.

Here is an early badge showing the shaft termination:

What does the hosel look like?

    • Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.
    • This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
    • Day 3: Worked on backswing. Feel: Matt Wolff, Real: Not yanking it inside and getting it laid off and flat at the top. 
    • I wrote the post before leaders tee'd off today (3rd round) when Schef was still tied with Fitz at -10. Also, if you read further I also said 'one man' will most probably put the championship to sleep by end of today..😊. Yeah, not much drama left it seems. Scheffler with a hot putter is out right frustrating for the field. I will still watch tomorrow because the course is awesome and the play is pretty exciting in general. Players reaching deep to hang on.
