Modern Classics (Ep. 7): Callaway’s Great Big Bertha 2015 driver (a.k.a the “Kevin Kisner” driver)
GolfWRX recently launched a new 8-part video series, called “The Modern Classics,” in partnership with 2nd Swing Golf. Throughout this video series, GolfWRX’s Head of Tour Content, Andrew Tursky, tests out 8 legendary used golf clubs that are still being played on Tour today. How do the older, less expensive products compare to modern technologies?
In the first six episodes, Tursky tested:
- TaylorMade’s Tour Preferred MC 2011 iron
- Adams Idea Pro hybrid from 2006
- TaylorMade Rocketballz RBZ fairway wood
- TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 3-wood
- Nike VR Pro Ltd. Edition 3-wood from 2011
- Ping’s G400 LST driver from 2017
For episode 7, we highlight the Callaway Great Big Bertha driver, which was first released to the public in 2015 and popularized by Kevin Kisner throughout his career. Callaway’s GBB 2015 drivers are currently available on 2nd Swing’s website for $199.99.
Check out the video at the top of the page for more on the product, design, and how it stands up to testing against Tursky’s modern driver.

Since this is an 8 part series I am pretty sure you already have the item for the last segment – but I have a suggestion anyway. TaylorMade R7 TP irons, these irons were ahead of their time.

What a great way to sell an older product. Make a video with numbers that are not optimal and show that it’s 16 yards shorter.
