Callaway Biggest Big Bertha

[Tom]

For the past year I've always felt that 460cc drivers are too large. don't get me wrong, I feel comfortable over my 460cc driver(s), but feel equally so over my tiny three wood. So, recently I bought a 9° Biggest Big Bertha driver (290cc), bought a smokin' hot Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara flex-x shaft and two days ago put the two together. Today was the first chance I got to hit it. Wow!!!

Setup: 290 vs 460 isn't as big a difference as it reads. the 290 head looks great at setup.

Distance: wow!!! i'm smoking this driver. if it's any shorter it can't be but a yard or two. traj and shot shaping was incredible!!!

Sound: it sounds so good! compared to the gigantic 460 heads, this thing sounds so darn good.

Confidence: i've hit 50 balls or so. i'm beaming with confidence because i'm murdering the ball with this club.

Daily driver: i have a hyperx, ft-5 tour, ft-3 tour, ping g10, taylor made r7 superquad, ft-9, and ft-iq. for now, i'm really feeling like none of the others is as good as this biggest big bertha. so much so, i'm going to make it my daily driver.

Callaway: two days ago i went to the FT-IZ launch at my local superstore. i hit the FT-IZ. decent... i hit the FT Tour. better than the FT-IZ in my opinion. this corroborates my theory.... the FT Tour is a smaller head than what's out today. there are certain people where a smaller head fits their eye... for now, i'm one of them.

Summary: all club companies launch new clubs at least once per year. they're fueling sales of people like me, who spend $5k/year on equipment and of people who haven't bought a new driver in 10 years. it's their strategy - entice people to buy by saying "...this is our longest driver yet..." "...phil is hitting this new driver.." it's almost bunk... if you did a study on scores from the 60's or 70's i bet jack was scoring just as low as tiger, phil, padraig, etc., and the equipment they had ---- eeh gads---- or is it... and the equipment they had ---- was good ----. "...it ain't the arrow it's the indian..." if it looks good at setup, you're confident, it's the right equipment...
