Callaway Big Bertha V-Series Fairway Woods
Callaway’s new V-Series fairway woods are designed with “Speed Optimized Technology,” making them lighter and more aerodynamic to promote more ball speed and distance.
The fairway woods use the same Hyper Speed Face design that helped Callaway’s X2 Hot and X2 Hot Pro fairway woods receive top billing in our 2014 Gear Trials: Best Fairway Woods list, and also have a high-launch design that make thems one of Callaway’s most forgiving fairway woods. Like Callaway’s other fairway woods, they use the company’s Modern Warbird Sole Plate to improve turf interaction.
A Callaway Big Bertha V-Series 5 Wood at address.
The V-Series fairway woods are available in 3, 5, 7 and 9 woods, as well as in a “Heavenwood” that has 20.5 degrees of loft and measures 43 inches. That gives it more loft than a 5 wood, but it has a longer shaft that can help golfers hit their shots farther.
The fairway woods come stock with a Mitsubishi Rayon 2nd Generation Bassara E-Series 52 shaft in light, regular and stiff-flex options and sell for $239.99 each.

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.
This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.
Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.

Anyone hear rumors of another Callaway line expected to come out shortly, after this line? I heard photos are already online.

I did a range demo of the 3-wood last week and didn’t like it. I didn’t get any pop at all off the face. I also hit the SLDR and G30 3-woods and liked both of them better. The SLDR was a little tougher to control but when you dialed it in, it was excellent.
The G30 was the best of the one’s that I tried. Easy to hit, nice adjustability. I haven’t made a purchase yet and will try a few more.
The Callaway was the worst by far…not sure why because the X-Hot is a beast.

I’m crushing it 250-260 off the deck and off the tee with a stock stiff shaft. Maybe the mid-kick shaft isn’t for you though.

They’re out now. I just received my Heavenwood yesterday. I’m taking it out this weekend for a test drive.

I totally agree. Callaway is horrible considering they have Phil. I went to the Callaway store in Las Vegas looking to buy wedges and the sales man told me I could order them. They don’t stock them… It’s a callaway only store.

Totally agree left handed golfers not well catered for by Callaway, ping are much better for lefties. Like the look of these but I notice there are no pro versions they all have square faces, and not keen on the stock shaft, but I like the sole and the shape of the head looks good.
