The Great Big Bertha fairway wood uses breakthrough in technology for more distance and playability, but how does it perform? Women & Golf put it to the test.
The Great Big Bertha features a Forged Hyper Speed Face Cup designed for high speeds that make the ball go a long way on centre hits and off-centre hits, and our legendary Warbird Sole which makes the club easy to hit from a variety of lies with a mid-launching trajectory. The head is larger than our typical fairway wood, and that extra surface area leads to a higher MOI for more forgiveness.
Women & Golf say, 'Callaway has produced a really excellent fairway wood, in fact the 3-wood I tried flew as far as some ladies drivers, with a fast, fiery response off the face. The low profile head shape makes it easy to sweep away off tight fairway lies but not so forgiving off the tee, as there’s a greater chance of skying it. This wood doesn’t shout, ‘I’m a ladies wood’, the styling is classical and sophisticated, just like the very original Big Bertha which I played back in the 1990s and loved. It’s expensive but worth it.'
