Purchase: I purchased this driver at Callaway Preowned.com for 109.99 and even managed to get free shipping. I was lookig for a forgiving, easy to hit, long driver that wasn't 500.00 dollars.
Pros: I appreciate the overall design of the head as one that is simplistic and very fuctional by design. It hits long on off center hits, a result of the very high moment of inertia (MOI). It launches the ball easily, due to a low center of gravity that is far from the face ( Make sure you do not tee the ball to high this club has a somewhat shallow face by todays standards).
Cons: Not much to dislike. I have experienced an increase in fairway hits by 60%. My friends that have played it along side me have all experienced better accuracy off the tee, and they haven't had it at the range all day like I have.
Quality: The quality is on par with any name brand equipment. It is an excellent product. Review Summary: It's straight, long, and easy, Just what any guy is after.

Purchase: I purchased this driver in like new condition off ebay for $90.
Pros: This driver has changed my game off the tee. I have owned both the Big Bertha Steelhead Plus and Big Bertha Steelhead III and neither driver comes close to this one. I used to hit a drive a maximum of 250 yards, but have had two drives with this new driver in the 295 yard range! Definitely shortens the course with a monster drive, and it's always fun when you wait while your playing partner hits his 2nd 50 yards behind you. The larger sweet spot is a huge advantage, and I would recommend this club to anyone looking for more distance off the tee. The driver is also forgiving, so your shots will
not be spraying into the next fairway.
The only other drivers I would consider would be a Taylor made R7 or Callaway ERC but the price tags on those are pretty high.
Cons: I like everything about this club, it rocks!
Quality: The titanium head is well constructed, and the graphite shaft is fantastic. Review Summary: If you're looking for more distance and a forgiving face out of a driver, look no further than the Big Bertha Titanium.

Purchase: $218 brand new on eBay. I really wasn't that turned off by the $250 price that most major distributors of golf products were charging, because I think that's a pretty fair price for a driver. I just figured that if I could save $30, why the hell not? Also came with a nice club cover, so I think I got a good deal overall.
Pros: It is so unbelievably hard to hit a bad shot with this. If you haven't hit a super-sized clubhead yet (like me, and this is one of the smaller super-sized heads), then it will take a bit of getting used to, but the second time I went to the driving range, I was hitting everything perfectly straight... and I've had a really bad chronic slice all of my life. After taking 20 or 30 swings with it, you just feel incredibly confident when you line up with the ball. You just know that the ball is going to fly even if you don't have your best swing. For instance, I had a shot go off of the toe, and it still went 225 yards, and I'm not a power hitter by any means. The club probably doesn't hit the ball as far as other drivers like the ERC Fusion or the 983K, but I sure as hell feel more confident swinging this club (I tested all of them) than the others, and it doesn't sound like I'm hitting the ball with a block of wood like the others.
Cons: There isn't a whole lot not to like. I mean, the club is advertised as fun and friendly, and that's exactly what it is. The only thing that feels a bit weird is the shaft, which at times feels much different from my old driver. I think this is mostly due to the size of the clubhead, which I'm still getting used to. There is also sometimes a twisting sensation when you hit a really really off-center shot.
Quality: Typical Callaway. Everything looks great, feels sturdy, and gives off an aura of quality. Review Summary: $220 more than well spent. For someone like myself, who doesn't exactly approach drives with very much confidence, this club is a godsend. I'm the kind of guy that just wants the ball in the fairway, even if it only goes 180 yards, just so I can pull the irons out and feel more comfortable. With this club, I feel like I'll be able to put it on the fairway on at least the majority of holes, and as my confidence grows, this club will be able to give me more than enough distance for my type of game. Again, this isn't a 300-yard drive dream club, so all of you hungry for power will want to look elsewhere, but if you want a club that you'll feel confident hitting off the tee, here it is.
