Callaway Big Bertha Red Balls

Advantages: Seem to go miles!
Disadvantages: None

...Being relatively new to the game of golf, I need as much help as possible in getting my ball to go further! My partner introduced me to Callaway (he is obsessed by the game and only Callaway stuff will do for him!!) As a lady golfer I have tried many of the golf balls designed specifically for lasies, and although I found these to be good, my partner eventually persuaded me to try Callaway. As some Callaway products can be pricey, I decided to go for the Big Bertha Balls (Red for distance) which seem to be a little more reasonable than some of the other Callaway Balls. Cost me £17.99 for a dozen. Although they weren't miracle makers, my distance has definitely improved - reckon they go a good 10 yards further which is a big thing for me! I will definitely continue to use this type of ball and would recomment it to others also!...

Callaway HX TOUR Black

Advantages: these babies fly!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: price!!

...I won a dozen off these Callaway HX Tour black balls in a competition and am in love !! I have always played with Titleist Pro V1's in the past and didn't think anything would be able to beat them. These Callaways balls go an absolute mile when spanked off the tee with your driver. I would say slightly further than the pro v1. They also have excellent spin control when struck with your short irons into the greens. I have never had so much backspin with a ball before. I find them very nice to putt with as well , a real soft feel coming off the putter face. The only real draw back with these is the price. I believe they are currently retailing for around £36 a dozen but i believe them to be worth it , especially in the summer. I have found them to have knocked around 2-3 shots off of my game per round , i play off a 12 handicap...

Want To Hit The Ball Like Tiger Woods

Advantages: Hits the golf ball both longer and straighter
Disadvantages: There is a question about its legality.

...~ ~ The Callaway ERC driver is the latest offering from the renowned golf club manufacturers Callaway, whose equipment is the choice of so many of today’s top professionals, and hence much sought after and purchased by the sport’s millions of amateurs. This club is, in fact, in the second stage of its development, the original ERC 1 recently being superseded by Callaway’s latest model, the ERC 2. ~ ~ Before I get into describing the golf club and why it is considered so different from many other drivers, let me tell you about some of the controversy it has caused in the golfing world. There are two “ruling bodies” in the world of golf. The oldest (and still most highly respected) is the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at Saint Andrews, the home of golf. The other is the USPGA and USGA, the professional...

Review of Callaway Mens Big Bertha ERC II Titanium Drivers

What is rule 35

Advantages: Incredible feel
Disadvantages: Price

...Callaway have waited a long time before entering into the golf ball market. I welcome them with open arms. After many years playing the titleist hps wound ball I decided to give the callaway a go. The price wasn't too frightening although it seems worse due to them only being sold in sleeves of five or more rather than the usual three. As soon as I had one in my hand I knew this ball was different. It almost feels sticky to the touch. The feel of it off the club face is anything but sticky. This baby really flies. Not like a distance ball, you can really feel this come away from the face. No loss of accuracy which was really pleasing. But the callaway really comes into it's own around the green. It's soft feel really is unlike any other ball I have ever tried. You learn to trust it very very quickly. Putting with it is an absolute...

Review of Callaway Golfballs

Wam Bam thank you Bertha

Advantages: Balance and diastance
Disadvantages: Intial price.

...I purchased my Great Big Bertha from American Golf Discount just over a year ago. I had been looking into updating my driver for a while. I previously owned a 10 degree Big Bertha Steelhead. I tried 3 drivers the day I got the Great Big Bertha. They were apart from the GBB, a Titleist and a Ping driver. Each of them had a 10 degree loft and a firm flex shaft. The differnce in price across the different drivers were about £150. The Ping being the cheapest and the GBB being the most expensive. Because I had already owned a Callaway Driver I knew of the quality and service you get from Callaway but I wanted to try other brands because the technology had come along way and price was also a factor. After hitting each club on the driving range and using a computer to see how the drives went it became clear that the GBB was going...

Review of Callaway Great Big Bertha II

The Best Club I've ever Used!

Advantages: Very long and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Price

...I have recently upgraded to the new Callaway Great Big Bertha II. I changed from using a Callaway Steelhead I, a club I was very reluctant to move away from. I made the switch as I seemed to be losing distance compared to my playing partners, most of whom now have titanium drivers. The spec I chose was a firm graphite shaft with 10 degrees of loft. I opted not to go for the Pro-series version (as my handicap is 12) as this is not as forgiving. There are two types of GBB II, the standard version and the +Plus version. The latter is the one I have but does not conform to USGA rules. living in the UK, this isn't a problem. The difference between the two is that the +Plus version has a greater COR (Coefficient of Restitution) i.e. put simply, this means the bounciness that the club head provides, hopefully meaning an extra 5...

Rescue me cheaply

Advantages: Price, quality and result
Disadvantages: none

...For a man of my limited ability playing the game with a handicap of 24, Ping clubs would be a luxury but wasted money in my case. I had never owned a rescue club or recovery club as these hybrids are more commonly known and my golf suffered whenever I found my ball in the semi rough or slightly off the fairway. No matter what club I used I could never get any distance out of the crap I was in. I did eventually discuss the rescue clubs, as I prefer to call the hybrids, with fellows golfers at my club and found their advice very helpful. The majority agreed that buying the Ping, Taylor made, Callaway and other famous well used brands of the professional golfers would be a waste of money and to search for more reasonably priced hybrids. With this advice I scoured both the internet and several golf shops before finally visiting...
