Callaway Biggest Big Bertha Driver Golf Club

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.
