Callaway BB 815's

Finally had a chance to try the new Big Bertha 815's yesterday - both the standard Alpha and the Double Diamond version - at Golfsmith.

No serious numbers to report, but both were long, straight and fairly low spin (2600-2800 RPM).  Of the two, I preferred the Double Diamond version - had the longest launch monitor drive of the day with it at 283 yards (not sure if Golfsmith had the tailwind turned up  :rolleyes: ), with an average in the 270 range.  The standard Bertha was about 6-10 yards shorter, on average.

 

Just for fun, I also hit last year's Alpha - it was closer to the Double Diamond in performance.  Hmmmmm.....

 

Has anyone else had the change to try the new Bertha's?  Gotta say, I was pretty impressed...

I have the Double Diamond in the bag and have gotten a couple of rounds in with it. I have been impressed so far, I think it feels a little better than the original Alpha and is a bit longer.
