Big Bertha Titanium 2004
I borrowed a Big Bertha Titanium 2004 from a friend. It's a 9 degree with a Callaway regular flex shaft. I had been hitting a Taylormade r7, regular flex with 10 degrees of loft. My very first hit with the Big Bertha on a fairway I'm very familiar with drove the ball 25 yards past my personal best with with r7. Of course I thought it was a fluke but I was very pleased to find that on average I was getting about 15-20 yds more with the Big Bertha. The trajectory is a little higher than my r7 but I'm able to draw and fade the ball mucher easier. With my r7 set up for draw you really have to work to get it to fade. I'm sticking with the un-weighted clubs from now on.

I've hit all the drivers listed below the same distance but none have found the fairway like this club for me. One of my buddies calls me Mr. Instant Replay. In my opinion, all manufacturers should take note: forget the toaster-size deep face and give all us mortals something shallow, wide and 360cc(let's call it a modern high tech 3 wood for the tee!). I haven't tried a Cleveland Hibore yet, but I think it might be the only large driver to demonstrate the same characteristics as this callaway. By the way, their titanium fairway woods of the same year are the best I've ever hit. Customer Service Awesome. They reshafted the club for me to an OEM 75g shaft from the standard 65g at no charge.

I bought this Big Bertha driver for $100 and the first hit I took with it I couldn't believe the sound it made. The sound was loud and so much different from other clubs. People would look at me after i smacked the ball. The sound makes a loud and nice ping sound. i like how the club is so forgiving. I tend to slice but I've learned to control it but when i do its not bad and still goes very far. I like how the head isn't so big so i can swing hard and smooth consistently. i have a regular shaft and 10 degree loft. I am not a long ball hitter but i can consistently hit 220 about 20 yards further than my last driver. If you are thinking about buying a driver i stronly advise the Big Bertha Titanium. You will be happy. Similar Products Used: Great Big Bertha 2, Taylormade R580

great stick, shaft is also very good to be stock, great price 99.00 @ 360 cc seems to be perfect for me. have tried all 460 heads and just don't like them, public must not be allowed to have same heads pros are using. done wasting $ on drivers this one does everything it is suppose to do!!! hit it as far as I have hit all other drivers... solid feel and great sound @ impact... club is good enough for anyone that plays golf.. |

Been looking for a club for my son, tested a few @ indoor range & got this. Hits a low trajectory ball - period! I can't hit it consistantly, neither can my son, girlfriend, or bro inlaw (who's a good golfer). I tried a bunch... most were MUCH more forgiving than this. Not recommended.

Big Bertha Titanium 10*
I found this club in a used bin at a Golfsmith for $59. It wasn't used however. Someone had upgraded the shaft, cut it down to 43.75 inches and maybe hit it once. I bought it on a whim. What I like about this club is that it looks big, but is soo much easier to swing than those monstrous 460cc heads. Preference thing I suppose, but there is something to hitting a smaller faced driver. It's plenty forgiving though. The feel is superb on well struck shots and the sound is nice, not annoying. Having an upgraded shaft which was cut down helps on accuracy, but I don't think I'm losing any distance compared to my Nickent, I might be gaining a few yards due to roll out. Callaway shafts are fine too. I have one in my steelhead III. Anyway I digress. If you can find one of these drivers, buy it and save yourself a couple hundred dollars. Well worth it. |

Let me start off by saying that I believe most of the reviews I read in here are rediculus. Everyone that says something great about a club, oh no more slice, 20 yards longer than this club or that club, probably doesn't have a consistant swing to begin with. How can you really judge a review by that? Don't get me wrong, I am sure that some of the reviewers actually do know what they are talking about. With that said, I purchased this driver BB titanium 9* on ebay for $79, took it strait to Golfsmith and had them install the new Graffaloy NT 65 shaft stiff flex, pured. For all of those whe get an aftermarket shaft get it pured!!!! I don't hit this driver any farther than my Mizuno MP1 360cc Fujikura Vista Pro shaft stiff. But the ball flight and sound is what got me. And yes right down the middle. God what an amazing trajectory, yes the shaft does have something to do with it, but holy cow I can't get over it. I hit balls into the back of the range over at Callaway golf center in Las Vegas, if you've ever been there you will know how far that is uphill. From beginners to scratch golfers, I don't see how you can go wrong. I would recommend getting an upgraded shaft with this club, nothing wrong with Callaway's but for those who want more performance and workability, you will notice a difference. Customer Service The folks over at Callaway golf are impecable. They let me hit anything that I want to. That is how I decided on this driver, and why I took it to golfsmith and had a different shaft put in it. Similar Products Used: Mizuno MP-001, TM r540XD, BBII, Cleveland Launcher 460 (stinks) |

This is an another update my previous review. I've been using this club for 5 months now, and I love it. It's came with the stock RCH 65-g R-flex graphite shaft. I 've been 80%+ on fairways with this driver and it's 15-20 yds longer than my previous Callaway ERC. It does not mean that it's a "drop-in" from my previous driver. I used to play "strong grip" with my old driver, I don't have to do that anymore with this new driver, which I like better because I don't feel comfortable twisting my left hand in for a strong grip. I hit TM R7 that my friend has and it does not do naything for me. In fact I can almost always outdrive him with my BB driver. Based on what I've read, there are a lot of good drivers out there, the trick is to find the one that fit your swing at a lowest possible cost. I also hit the Cobra SZ 427cc (rental club while on a business trip) and I like that one too. I wish that I havd more time and money to try several drivers and buy the shaft that would best suite my swing... I am cheap so I spent $100 on this 9.5/10 BB driver from Ebay. I am lucky that it does the job for me. In fact I like it so much I just bought a 2004 BB 3-wood, R-graphite shaft from Ebay. Still learning how to use it properly. I am starting shooting more in the 80s now (when I play smart golf, i.e. keep it straight and on fairways, don't take risk and do stupid mistakes). Will report the 2004 3-wood BB later Happy golfing |

Great driver. Jumps off of the club face, and the titanium head is especially easy to swing. The workability for this club is great. Extremely easy to execute a controlled draw and fade. Similar Products Used: taylormade r7, big bertha 2, taylormade r5 dual drivers |
