Old Big Bertha's vs. Big Bertha Diablo

[BogeyGolfer]

I currently am playing the Big Bertha Diablo Golf Balls and like them alot, but I just found a good deal on last years big bertha golf balls. I was just wondering if they were the same ball. I didn't know if Callaway just renamed them Big Bertha Diablo to go with the new driver. Just looking for some info on if you've played both and if like I said they are pretty much the same ball.

I played both and they feel the same to me.

Like everything in golf, companies have to come out with 'new and improved' every year to stimulate sales. They claim a faster ballspeed and probably more control. Personally, I didn't notice any difference in the way they felt or performed, but that could be just me. Golf ball technology hasn't changed much in the last couple years, especially for non-premium balls. They will usually have some slight change in the chemistry of the cover, core, or mantel layer that for most golfers is not even going to be detectable. It's all about what you like. If you feel you get better performance from new then you probably will (placebo effect); if not, don't waste money for the new balls.
