Callaway Great Big Bertha II 3Wood 16* Firm Shaft Golf Fairway Woods - Reviews

On 2005-04-20, Zen Mango rated this Callaway Great Big Bertha II 3Wood 16* Firm Shaft a 5...(5424)



Purchase: Bought from second swing in burnsville for $179 (I think!) Demo trade in so it was in great shape.
Pros: Was looking for a 3 wood with a deeper face to take off the tee. My home course forces me to use it on a couple holes, so I wanted a confidence inspiring 3 wood for those holes and when the driver wasnt working. Also, wanted a 3 wood to take off the deck to give it a go on shorter par 5s. This club is by far the longest 3 wood I have hit off the tee - only thing close was the TM 580 3W 15* titanium. It is long and accurate. The draw bias helps you go after it as well. Sometimes, that does get me in trouble, so I play a weak grip on this club only. Also, it is great off the fairway. It is the best 3 wood out of the fairway I have ever owned/hit and it is accurate. Flight is nice and high. So high, it doesnt get much roll. Might be the shaft though.
Cons: Shaft is OK. Changed the grip. I am a Golf Pride guy, not a lamkin....Sorry Arnie!! But I am a member of the Army!!! Might change the shaft to a YS6 or an NVS.But if it aint broke......right? Works too good to tinker right now.
Quality: Solid. Love the blue finish. Seems to be durable.

Review Summary: If you are looking for an easy to hit 3 wood with lots of distance off the tee, this is it. Also this is high and straight off the fairway....surprising for the deep face. The ball flight is a bit high, but I will most likely change out the shaft to correct that one. Recommeded to golfing buddy who bought, and now hugs me each time at the club....its a bit embarassing....Get one. Club, not hugging buddy...not that there is anything wrong with that.
