I am a novice golfer, picked up a starter set this fall. Just got these clubs and 1st time out-wow! Played a par 3 course and pared a hole, several bogies that a better putting game would have helped-shot 76. Second time out 3 pars and a birdie-incredible accuracy and control-shot a 69 on a 54 par-still have a long way to grow into these. If you are looking for consistency at an incredible value look for these used. Shaved at least 10 strokes overnight!

If you like the top view of these irons then you will be very happy with them. These irons are forgiving beyond any other iron I have encountered, shots are fine for length, dispersion and the club can produce acceptable shots from all lies, so don''t worry about that large sole. To my eyes the heads are elegant and you can really see where your money has gone. The look of the head easily demonstrates the game improvement options you must have wanted to be attracted to these irons. If you are tempted by the look of blades then don''t try these but if game improvement is your thing then these are still impressive today.

Shoot in the 80s
Model Reviewed: Big Bertha Irons

Bought my set (with the RCH-96 shaft) on sale several years ago when the local pro shop was blowing them out to make room for the new X-12's. I tried the X-12's but just didn't like them as well as the "Big Uglies." I tried many clubs before I purchased these and for a while after making my purchase, I continued to look at and try many other clubs. I've since quit looking. These Big Bertha's are simply the best irons for me. They're long, straight, and very forgiving. Best $600 I ever spent.

Shoot in the 80s
Model Reviewed: big bertha graphite

took these clubs in on a trade, I have always been curious about how they hit, they are so big and ugly,i have heard that they were short, hit the ball high, and that they were only for high handicapers. I play blades and love them, but these clubs are loooong, was able to hit knockdowns, draws, and fades with ease, also the ball flight is much lower than with my own clubs which is great if you live in an area with alot of wind. Was going to sell these, but have decided to keep and play them. there is so much emphasis on playing blades, but i say play what works best for you. Any level player can easily shoot a good round with thses clubs for me they are two thumbs up

Model Reviewed: Big Bertha Irons w/M10

These are my first set of game improvement irons and I'm impressed. Upgraded from my starter set and these irons really are forgiving. My scores in the last two rounds I've played has now dipped into the 80's. I don't mind the thick topline. It inspires a little confidence for me, especially the long irons. Nice soft feel, not much feedback. Love the Memphis 10 steel. Had the PW with reg. graphite, sold it to a buddy when I got the new set. I actually hit the steel shafted PW 15 yards further than the graphite. Not a bad set of clubs. Don't worry about buying these used. It seems almost impossible to mark these huge hunks of metal. Overall nice feeling, forgiving, and decently long irons for the mid-high handicaper.

I have played with these irons for about 2 years. I like them much better than the King Cobras I had before, however, I feel the need to change again. The firm graphite shafts are way to flexible and hard to control at times. Also, the big club heads can make it difficult to hit a sweet shot off a low-cut fairway. I would test before buying a new set at their price.

Very forgiving club. This would be a great set for someone who is ready to trade in their 1st set and be a little more serious about scoring better. They are a little large, but this often helps if you have a high handicap. If you have a powerful or quick swing you will need to get stiff shafts. The graphite shafts will whip around on you and send your ball all over the course.

Model Reviewed: BB Irons, RCH Medium Flex Shaft

I've been playing my Bertha irons for a few years. Overall, they were very much what I was looking for as a beginner, as they are very forgiving. The top sole is extremely wide, and not very visually pleasing at address, but the clubs do the job.

With the graphite shafts, they can feel a little "whippy" although a firmer flex shaft could probably fix this.

I'm ready to move on to new irons that are a little more "delicate" than the sometimes unwieldy BBs. I'm considering the Hogan Apex Plus, or the X14s.

Overall, a excellent game-improvement club; especially well-suited for high handicappers.
