By normal I am referring to just the regular, stock line of red cavity Callaway Big Berthas. Anyone have any feelings on these?

I have VFT irons but am looking for one more set, maybe something I can keep in other cities where I live, including New Delhi where I don't want to keep a super nice set of clubs. Then again I played my best golf ever with graphite shafted X-12s.

Anyone have any thoughts on these irons???

As a low-handicapper you may find the Big Berthas are too much of a game improvement iron.

They have a real wide sole and huge cavity back and look a lot different than more performance-irons. I used to play Titleists and downshifted to the 2006 Big Berthas because I couldn't make the shots I needed to--in your case you may find the opposite to be true.

i agree, these clubs do have a very wide sole and they are super game improvement clubs. i would suggest the x-20's over the big berthas for you. if you have a golfsmith around you, go check out their used sets. they have tons of them at great prices, and you'll find some good back-up irons.

I have the Big Bertha 04, 06 and 08 irons. I use them because I am old and
need all the help I can get.

If you are a low handicapper I would suggest the x-20's or the fusion irons (which I have also).

The x-20's and fusions are still easy to hit, but are not as forgiving as the Big Bertha's.
If you want to work the ball right or left do not get the Big Bertha's. They are just straight.

This is just my experience and opinion, your out come may vary.

You have a Handicap Index of 3.7 playing the VFT's? Nice!

The NEW Bertha irons are very easy to hit but way more game improvement than you need, X-20's would be more what you are looking for. Kevin

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
