Callaway Golf has just announced the new Great Big Bertha Driver and Fairway Woods. They have also announced the new Big Bertha Alpha 816 Double Black Diamond Driver and Big Bertha Alpha 816 Fairway Woods for better players, but in this post I will discuss only the Great Big Bertha product family.

There are couple of technology solutions that we can also find in Big Bertha Alpha 815 Driver (e.g. R*MOTO Face Technology, OptiFit Technology: 8 different configurations to tune loft, lie, and face angle) and Big Bertha V Series (e.g. OptiFit Technology) andCallaway Golf XR product family.

  • R*MOTO technology 2.0 that provides the structure for a thinner face which leads to high ball speeds on center and off-center hits.
  • Adjustable Perimeter Weighting on the perimeter of the head for ball flight and dispersion control with exceptional forgiveness. There is a 10g sliding weight on the perimeter of the clubhead to add stability.
