Callaway Great Big Bertha II Fairway Wood

The last of the titanium fairway woods by Callaway. In my opinion, this was Callaways best fairway wood. Still made of 100% titanium, and still made in the USA. Somewhat of a smaller head, but very easy to get the ball air-born, and very easy to shape and control shots. I bought the 3 & 5 woods off of Ebay, one with the stock "Firm" shaft, the other with a Graffaloy Pro Launch "stiff" shaft.
Results; The stock shaft performed fine, and as expected. However, the wood fitted with the Graffaloy shaft performed better than any fairway would I have ever played with. I have a ton of confidence when reaching for that club, because I know I'll be able to put the ball where I aim it. The other pleasant surprise was the distance. Never thought I could hit a 3 wood 260+ yards.
Bottom line, I found Callaway's Great Big Bertha II's the best fairway woods I'd ever played with. I liked them so much, I bought an additional 3 & 5 wood for my back-up set. I was going to re-shaft the 5 wood with the same Graffaloy Pro-launch shaft, but I actually found one already with that shaft and flex on Ebay, and I snagged it up toot-sweet. I also think most informed golfers already know the reputation, quality, and desireability of these dated woods, because not only are they a bit scarce, but still sell for a moderate chunk of change.
If your not into the latest and greatest hype, and are more interested in performance than esthetics, then you'd be well to do by scooping one of these bad boy's up. Club designers have done pretty much all they can do, and I haven't seen any dramatic improvements over the last ten years or so. However, just remember this only my opinion. You yourself will have to make the effort and find out what's right for you. I only try to share my experiences and hope it will help someone find the right club for them. Also, don't forget we all swing and hit the ball a little differently. So, one size doesn't neccessarily fit all. I hope my two cents were useful. Thanks and good luck.
