Not too familiar with Callaway Clubs.  I found this Big Bertha gems 55W three wood in a veterans store for around $4.00 and kind of like the way it feels. Am I correct in assuming that the 55W designation on the shaft refers to this being a woman's club?   I don't know how old it is, but all the decals are there and shows little wear.   Comparison with similar on ebay, I am guessing it was produced circa 2005.

That's correct.

The original Gems boxed set came with Driver / 7W / 5H / irons 7, 9, SW / a chipper / and putter.

Excellent quality starter set for the female golfer.

The current Callaway model is called the Solaire Gems. The 8-piece set has different lofts than the originals.

Ok, thanks. Not sure of the year of origin of this 3 wood but 2005 seems about right from other photos.

      Day 203 3-8  Focus on getting wider in backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. With wider backswing reconnecting arm wasn't happening as well. Made some good progress. Hit foam balls.

      Lets see, Kapalua, and any other course played on Maui, Hualalai, Koolina and the course where the LPGA now plays the Lotte, Poipu, St Andrews, and Ballyliffen. I think that's it, never chased it but sure do enjoy playing Kapalua, Koolina and Hualalai. Will

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Updated feels Backswing 1. Knees stay at the same depth 2. Shift right 3. Right now it's imagining the hand path going right and up by raising the right arm. I imagine the hands holding the club while it is pointed up and behind me at my right shoulder.  4. Torso (belly) and hips stay facing forward.  Downswing 1. Mostly just straightening in combination with arms down behind me. I know my knees are bent, but it doesn't feel like much. It doesn't feel explosive because I am not going from a deeper squat.  2. Hands to right pocket or right foot. It should feel like my go down as my shoulders stay up. Stay taller. I don't need to use the body to get the club down.
