  It is REALLY BIG
Review created: 02/22/06

I really liked the looks of it and the feel in the store. But after hitting it I couldn't develop a feel as the where the club head was during the swing. It felt like a baloon on a stick to me. Every shot I hit was too high to my liking. Most shots went straight, even when they weren't on the center of the face. It is easy to get careless when hitting a club this big. My mentality says " kill it you can't miss the ball with a club the size of a tennis racket". I hit the Great Big Bertha better myself. Because I have to be more deliberate with the aim and line up.

The 10* and the 8* Biggest Big Bertha didn't have much difference in trajectory or distance for me. I would say for a high handicapper 20+ , this might be the ideal club . It is very forgiving for off-center hits, and it gets the ball up in the air quickly.

I still prefer the Cleveland or the Titleist because it allows me to work the ball and I get better feel of the clubhead.

Go to your pro-shop driving range and hit all the drivers before you buy.

Once you find out what you like you might find it on e-bay cheaper.

  Callaway Biggest Big Bertha Driver
Review created: 09/05/06(updated 09/12/06)
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.

First, a little background on me. I am 62 years old, play to a 2 handicap and my drives average 270 yards. My swingspeed is 90 MPH. My age should tell you that I've seen many golf club designs come and go. The last few years has produced an overwhelming array of technologically designed clubs from putters to drivers to hybrids. Watching the Golf Channel last night, their technical guru was talking about modern clubs and golf balls and how todays equipment provides 26 more yards distance than clubs of 30 years ago. He said that same 26 yards was not even available to Arnie Palmer simply because the clubs Arnie played were not as advanced technologically as todays equipment. However, you already know what technology has done to the game of golf. But with all of the technology, I still prefer the older style traditional club design. My irons are Wilson Staff FG-51 forged blades. I own cavity back irons but none of them compare with the beautiful FG-51's in appearance, workability and feeling of satisfaction when hitting it pure. My wedges are Titleist Vokeys. But this review is supposed to be about the Biggest Big Bertha Driver isn't it? It is a GREAT driver! But if you're looking for that magical club that will eliminate your hook or slice, forget it, because that club will never be made. No club can erase a golfer's swing flaws. If you have a decent swing, the 290cc BBB driver can improve your distance and accuracy because it has a much bigger sweet spot than traditional drivers but is better looking than the 460cc sledgehammer monsters of today. You'll have to tee the ball a little higher, to take advantage of it's higher center of gravity. It certainly instills confidence in the golfer when addressing the ball. But at 290cc, it's just a tad bigger than I like (remember I prefer traditional clubs) and so I've opted for the Callaway Great Big Bertha at 250cc (even that stretches my visionary preferences). Callaway started it all with their S2H2 short hosel design which enabled them to put more material and mass in a larger club head. All the other companies soon followed. Bottom line is this. If you don't mind the larger size of a BBB driver, then you should definately give it a try. But don't overlook the medium sized Great Big Bertha. Both drivers are made from lightweight titanium which will assist you in generating a little faster swingspeed which will give you more distance, everything else being equal. And if 250cc is still too big for your liking, then try the Callaway Big Bertha Warbird at 195cc. Very pleasing to the eye and nearly as long as it's successors only with a smaller face and sweet spot. For my money, Wilson made the best irons, Callaway the best metal woods and Titleist the best wedges. Putters are a breed of their own.

  biggest big bertha is still a winner
Review created: 09/06/06

I used to own one of these about 6-7 yrs ago and I can't for the life of me remember why I got rid of it. My game and knowledge of the equipment has steadily improved over the years and I have used some of the 400cc or more drivers currently on the market, to include Taylor Made, Hogan, Callaway, and Cobra. Found a nice BBB with a shaft that I like, (Prolite stiff), and it is a nice driver. Very accurate and the shaft fits my swing perfectly...a nice boring flight, out there between 260 and 280 on a regular basis. I do seem to recall that my previous BBB had the factory "firm" shaft and it was notoriously a high ball club unless you got a 7 or 8 degree. My latest version is a 9 degree and again, I can't stress enough, get the right shaft and you won't be disappointed.

  Excellent Very Forgiving Club
Review created: 05/20/06

3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Exactly that. An excellent very forgiving club. These oldies but goldies are great clubs. I'm an ameature and drive right down the middle of the fairway with this club every time. Can't do that with my buddies new x-18's. There's something to be said for these clubs.

I can't count how many times I've heard, Damn, you've got the old Callaways. I wish I never got rid of my set.

Well, folks. I say buy an old set. They play today just as good as they did back in 94 or 96 or whenever you picked up your vintage Callaway clubs.

Love this club, I've demo'd some of the newer drivers, but none of them have convinced me to give up my BBB. Distance wise, it is as long as any I have tried, although some of the newer drivers do seem a little more forgiving with mishits. With a nice easy swing I can go 240-270, and I'm 5'8", 130 lbs. You can shape your shots a bit with this club, but that's not it's forte. After all, a 15 handicapper like me just wants to keep it predictable and relatively straight. Bottom line, excellent club for mid to high handicapppers. This driver is the best bang for the buck at $25-$35 at today's prices. Unless you're a low handicapper, driving 260+ every time, and can draw or fade your drives at will, this is the club for you.

  Why I love shopping on Ebay!
Review created: 02/04/07

I love the wide variety of different products at very reasonable prices. I recommend Ebay to all of my family and freinds. I've been a loyal Ebay Member for a long time and really have nothing negative to say about it. Most people on Ebay are in it for the same reasons that I am. To be able to buy and sell items to market that is without a doubt limitless.

  Exellent club
Review created: 10/08/06

I love the biggest bertha as my drives have hit 320 yards with this club. I found the club to be very forgiving on narrow fairways. I always seem to find the big open area at the end of the fairway. It's easy to get the top spin on the end of the ball flight for those great rolls. I recommend this club.

If you are looking for a solid driver that will get it out there with the new 500 dollar clubs. Give this guy a try. I used this Driver in the mid 90's when it retailed for 500 bucks now you can pick it up for 30 or 40...Come on

I tend to hit high drives and was in search for a low degree driver to lower my ball flight. This Big Bertha is a 7 degree loft and fits my swing perfectly. The club arrived in like new condition and at a great price. Love it.

This is by far my most favorite club in my bag. It has a 9 degree loft and a firm shaft. Any other driver I have ever tried I have never kept. I always come back to this driver.

Review created: 12/01/09

this design is perfect in size not too big and not too small...the face has almost no week spots on ball contact....fitted with the correct ultra lite shaft makes the control effortless...the only reason for changing designs by manufactors has to be motivated by market demands....not based on performance...i hope this helps a golfer play better without wasting time and money experimenting...

  Perfect description of the product.
Review created: 03/03/09
by:

The "Big Bertha" was accurately described in the ad and priced for immediate sale. Delivery was immediate and the first time out I drove the ball 25 yards further than the driver I've been using for several years. The 9 degree club hits a lower trajectory ball and therefore gets greater roll on impact.
