I just purchased the Big Bertha 460 10* yesterday and took it out the range for a bit and then played 15 holes with some friends. At the range I was slicing a little bit but figured out that I needed to move the ball even more forward than I usually do. On the course I hit the club about 5 times and it was great. I had on really bad slice but had a great second shot over some trees so I could save par. I am now in love with this driver and one of my playing partners is so tempted to buy this club as well. Is anyone else using this driver and what do you think about it.

I am using this driver for the first time this year. I had a Hogan driver that I loved dearly that broke and Callaway replaced it free of charge with the BB460. I hate this driver! Mis-hits feel the same as hits from the sweet spot. I really hate the fact that it looks like a squashed and flattened cantalope. I read alot of people who love this driver but I just want to get rid of it. The best shots I have hit with this driver feel like crap. I just can't deal with the shape of the head on this driver. Sorry to rain on your parade but this is my honest opinion....

I play this driver and love it. The price is reasonable and it is extremely forgiving. I can drive 250yds consistently with this driver. Best purchase of 2008 so far for me!

I know. I just really want to like this driver! Everyone else does so why can't I? It sucks because my wife is watching my golf purchases like a hawk now so I don't know how I am going to get a new driver.....

Might just have to sell the BB460 and then buy something else.

Well this thread reminded me how much I disliked the BB460 and prompted me to get a new HiBore XL which I am now crushing down the fairway instead of bananna slicing into the rough like I was doing with the BB460. So thanks TheThein11 for getting the fire lit under me and getting me to change drivers. I am a much happier golfer now!

      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.
