I would have agree with "newtogolf". When I compared the loft and length of the new Big Bertha irons claiming 2 clubs longer to my Mizzy Mp54's I found that the BB 7 iron is 4 degrees stronger and approx. 3/4" longer.


Callaway claims 2 clubs longer as compared to a set of Callaway Razor ZF Something or Other Irons from a few years ago...

I am sure for that market segment (Super GI) that cup face tech in an iron is great for launch, spring, and forgiveness. They probably don't need to lengthen the shafts...

Of course, they had the pros hitting their irons and the BB iron ... and the BB was noticeably longer although the shaft could not keep up with the pro.... I think that was the Patrick Reed Video.

I don't think a touring Pro is ready to turn in his irons for BB's, and neither are many of us... most of us are not that market segment.

I guess that's because of the lofts, my brand new X2 Hot Pro set 5-P and A, has about the same loft as a traditional 4-P set used to have in the past.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
