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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
