These irons are amazing. I could not believe how forgiving they are. I shaved about 7 strokes off of my round the first time out with them. I read numerous reviews for various clubs before purchasing these. I am very happy with my choice. I would recommend them to anyone.

i've got to say when i first hit them, they were very forgiving!! i was very impressed!! callaway did a very good job making these. i shot under (by just one)my 6 handicap at my home course with them!!! great club. although these are not clubs to grow on. they help your swing tempo i suppose. not something you would take to win a tournament. actully kinda hard to shape your shots.(theyre not supposed to shape shots anyways). but if your the person going from walmart clubs and a sort-of accomplished player then these would be good if you want an upgrade. but if your going from a cavity back to another i highly suggest a muscle back instead. very good club though!!!

I started playing golf two seasons ago and these are the first decent irons that I've owned. They are not miracle clubs, but they do offer some advantages to golfers like me. They still provide adequate distance even if you don't hit the center of the clubface. I tend to sometimes hit out on the lower toe, and generally get 85% of the distance I would with a clean strike. If you swing over the top, they will slice, if you turn your hands over too fast, they will still hook. Anyone who says their clubs correct slices and hooks is not being honest. However, these are quality clubs that launch the ball high and give minimal distance loss on off-center hits. No club can correct for a badly flawed swing, and if your swing has few flaws, you can use any club that you want. I can't evaluate the shaft as I haven't tried a lot of different models, but I did try a friend's Mizuno MP-32's at the range and they were 10-15 yards longer on solids strikes, but much harder to hit solid.

Never Used

I have been back in the game now for about 6 months and have gone through about 12 sets of irons. Everything from Cleveland Hi-Bores to Taylor Made R7's. I can tell you that these are by far the most fun and easy to hit clubs I have hit. The craftsmanship is excellent. Callaway is all about making the game more enjoyable and these clubs do not let you down. High and straight. I have not seen any distance loss whatsoever. In fact I have better distance than I ever did before. I am still learning the game but last night at the range I let a guy hit my 8-iron. He knocked it about 175! He was hitting Cobra S-9's and he told me that my clubs felt even better than his. He loved them. For any of you that are considering more expensive clubs you need to take a serious look at these babies. You get all of the fun for alot less money. I have hit irons that are twice as much and there was no substantial difference at all. The only thing I did to these clubs is have Callaway put in Nippon 990's instead of the stock Microtaper shafts and had them soft stepped to give me a more true Reg Flex. These are the shafts that come in their Fusion line for those of you who do not know. There was a minor up charge but well worth it. I plan on keeping these for a while or at least until Callaway comes out with their 2008 Bertha's. Either way, I am sticking with the Bertha's even when my game gets to it's peak. Hope this helps anyone who is not sure what irons to buy.

Excellent! They go way out of their way to help you. There's not a better Golf company out there period.

Clevend Hi-Bore's Cobra S-9's Taylomade R-7 & R-7 Draws. Just about everything that's out there in the Super Game Improvement or Game Impovement category.

A friend of mine purchased a set with steel shaft but because of an accident, he couldn't use them for a little while therefore I played with them for 3 rounds to see how they are.

First, they are called super game improvement which I believe to be true. They are very easy to hit straight but the shaft selection (Precision Uniflex) is just terrible. The shaft is much stiffer than the Callaway (True Temper) Uniflex found in the X20 and the Big Bertha 04.
I had a lost of distance of around 10 yards per clubs compared to my own set (Mizuno's, Rifle 5.0) and the Big Bertha 04.

Because Callaway replaced the True Temper Uniflex for the one from Precision, I can only give them a 2 rating.

Wouldn't know.

Bought these to replace Cobra SS-i irons. I demoed the Taylormade R7, Ping G5, Cobra S9, Mizuno MX-19 on the range. It was close between the Big Bertha's and the Ping G5's, and the BB's were a little less money. Bought the BB w/ graphite shaft, R flex. Birdied the 1st hole I used them -- hit it inside of 10 ft from 150. Good omen. Still needed to get used to them, but have played approx 8 rounds now and love them. Hitting more good approach shots, and mis-hits are carrying further. Comparable in distance to the Cobra's, but hitting more consistent shots. And they look great.

The big surprise has been the sand and approach wedges -- they have been great for chipping as well as full swings. It's easier not to have to adjust to the feel of a wedge that's different from the irons.

Overall I am very pleased with the purchase.

I replaced my 6 year old Nike knockoff blades with a set of Big Bertha 06' irons with uniflex shafts 3 weeks ago. I now have 4 rounds with the new clubs and feel I can give an accurate review.
First, I have gained a 1 club distance with each iron over my previous clubs. Which in itself is causing some good problems.
Second, these clubs tend to make me hit straight, with just slight movement left. Again, this is a good thing for me, I tend to hook the ball on my bad swings.
Third, the biggest challenge for me has been getting used to the size of these clubs versus the blades I had been playing with.
All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase and look forward to lowering my handicap even further.
These are not just for the hi handicappers, everyone can benefit from these clubs.

Not used, but have heard great reviews.

yes, I know some here hate the mention of clones... but I picked up a set of Silver Diamond R4 irons in a trade, as a throw-in. Surprise... really nice irons. Very similar to the BB "04, but heavier swingweight, like the '06. Looked them up, and they are made by Kent Sports, who make the great Alpha Reaction driver heads. Very high quality copies, and if U are looking for game improvement, why not improve and save a ton? Just trying to help out, you can pay $150.set or pay $600/set if you really need the name brand... but he performance for a golfer looking to improve is VERY close. Save your money, then when ready, buy the Ping G5 irons... :-) Good luck!

Customer Service

NA, but I hear Kent Sports backs their stuff strong.

Everything. the Taylor RAC HT's are a nice game improvement set.

I am a 15 year old golfer that loves to play golf, and these were my first brand new set of golf clubs. I love them, there a exellent club for any level of a golfer, either a new commer, mid player or even a scratch golfer. The eceptional feel of every clean and solid shot is just unbelievible! And even if you dont hit the ball so slid to wonderful cavity back with help you out more than you can every think of. If you think of trying these clubs im tellin you to go do it, and you will also relaize how oustanding this club is and what makes it so different from the 06 than the 04.

Having recently decided to get back into golf after a break of 6 years, I decided to buy a new set of clubs. I used to play with Titleist DCI 990s because I managed to pick up a set at a bargin price. However, they were really for better players than me so I was never really happy with them.

I went with the Callaways because I've always liked Callaway's clubs and they just seem to suit me. The first game I played with them, I was hitting shots far more consistently than I ever had with the DCIs and they felt a lot better, even when I didnt hit the ball perfectly.

The chunky heads take a bit of getting used to, especially if you're used to more svelte clubs, but I think they have a charm all their own and instil you with confidence when you step up to swing.

I'm more than pleased with the berthas and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a new set of irons, particuarly higher handicappers.
