2018 Official Forum Member Review-Big Bertha 2019 Irons

Recommended Posts

Nice work DawgDaddy! I hit these at True Spec and they couldn’t beat my Launchers. The fitter reached out to me the very next day and told me they fit a guy into the Big Bertha irons....he was using the Launchers. I can see how these could be neck and neck. If you can convert Ole Grey I may need to take another look.

Thx for all that info, DD! And really happy for you that you've found something that helps you enjoy the game even more 👍

Unrelated musing, and I know no one can answer this, but I'm just wondering out loud about the longevity of the filler material... That is, can the "goo" inside eventually (after enough time and enough ball strikes) weaken and deform? And this affect the performance?

Well, I know the Callaway engineers are a lot smarter than I and have presumably thought this through and tested the material. And even so, that time to failure is most likely a very long way off.

Thank you cks, as far as the "goo" inside the club head Callaway says that the tungsten bar is suspended in some proprietary urethane microspheres.  I assume that that means the bar is attached and then surrounded by tiny balls of urethane.  As hard as urethane is I would doubt it would ever turn to a "goo".   Great question and something that someone from Callaway golf might provide an answer to, I would like too know to now that you have brought it up.

Dawg I'm back working on a fade and my question is, do you think these irons would work for an old hooker?  They really felt great when I hit them however I did not purposely try to hit a fade.

Hey buddy, I would think and old hooker like you (and me) would have to work hard to get a small fade out of these irons.  I plan to give it another shot each time I am on a driving range, I would imagine if I can get a slight fade from these I would never have to worry about actually hitting a huge slice with them.  I'll get back with you and let you know how it works out.

Heck yea!   I'm working really hard on keeping the club in front of me and in doing so, I am seeing some nice fades.  It's when I take it too far inside (flat) and have to flip it then some ducks start quacking.   The HB Launchers are definitely easy to draw or hook but I have to be diligent to consistently hit fades with em.

@DawgDaddy. Late season or maybe more like mid- season update?

Did these stay in your bag during the spring buyojg season ? If so, How have they performed during the warmer weather?

Yes sir, they are still in the bag.  I have been hitting everything up to the 6 iron very well.  Even with the stronger lofts I am getting very good height on my shots and as expected at least 5 more yards now than when I was testing them. I was actually surprised they did not do better in the Most Wanted testing. 

My back flared up over the last month but until then I was getting out at least 3 times a week, this week will be my first time playing 3 times since mid July.
