Spotted: Callaway Big Bertha V Series Driver

Published

on

Just last week, the Callaway Big Bertha V Series driver was added to the USGA conforming list. Today, we spotted the driver on tour at the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

As expected from the initial photos that surfaced, the V Series drivers don’t have a moveable weight system, but they do appear to have adjustable hosels. Callaway hasn’t released any information regarding technology, but from the photos, it can be assumed the drivers have what’s called “Speed Optimized Technology” in the club head.

For now, we’ll just have to enjoy the photos and speculate about the technology.

    Its just a re-skin of the Callaway Legacy platinum driver (oceanic) for the mainstream.

    This is getting just silly stupid already.
    Cor is at its limit, same for cc’s and dimensions.
    So, this one is deeper, this one has aero fins,etc., etc.
    Now even Cali is getting into the act of a new, “better driver” every quarter !!!

    If you don’t like your current driver, then reshaft it by a good fitter. You will be amazed at the change in performance/results.

    Do not get suckered in by the marketing hype. I am quite sure your golf ball will not know the differece of which driver hit it !!!!!

    That face looks really deep and if it is I’m hoping they make a more shallow one because deep faces just don’t look right to me but other the depth of the face I really like the simple look

    Just a quick response. Bought the Cleveland Custom Classic XL last year. Decided to compare it to every new driver out in 2014 and I mean every one. They were all as close to my current setup as I could get. Not one was better than my current one including the SLDR. Some of the numbers were close or the same on the monitor at the PGA Superstore I buy from but, none were better. I’ll keep my money and stay away from the hype.

    V Series? What’s that; the value series or something? Like the sldr s. Haha. Hey, what’s one more driver in the line-up. Guess they didn’t feel like they quite had all demographics covered with only 6 drivers so they needed to cater to the 12 golfers that were demanding a big bertha without the mizuno fast track technology or the $500 gravity core that Mickelson makes look so good.

    I like Callaway but they are now bringing out new woods faster than TM

    How many models in the past 3 years? I’ve lost count

    Also looks like Callaway is switching out their hosel adjustment platform.

    I would love to see Callaway keep this 460cc version, then produce a 400 or 350cc pro version, I love my 3deep and would just love to see modern tech put into a classic package. Swing Speeds would pick up with the smaller head.

    Is that a “Speed Slot” on the toe?

    Looks like the classic Big Bertha from the early 1990s hit the modern state in a crash course or something

    I’m not a typically a fan of Cally but I like the looks of this. Looks like a biggest big bertha face and sole crossed with a modern crown and paint job.

    Looks just like the Optiforce

      Jul 28, 2014 at 9:00 pm

      Or it looks like the original Big Bertha which the optiforce looks nothing like?

        Joe, you receive applause for the above response. So true.

        Joe… The Big Berthas were gray, not black.

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
