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 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
