Callaway Big Bertha 2008

Callaway Big Bertha '08

 

To build the most forgiving all-stainless steel set of golf clubs Callaway Golf has ever developed, the engineers set aside conventional thinking, utilized innovative technologies and have redefined the shape of super game-improvement. The 2008 Big Bertha Irons take forgiveness to new heights by integrating a set of clubs featuring the new i-brids™, clubs designed to replace hard-to-hit long irons. The three i-brids combine the accuracy and control of irons with the forgiveness and versatility of a hybrid and are the most highly playable hybrid-like irons Callaway Golf could make. The set smoothly transitions into traditionally shaped irons that feature increased offset, a larger effective hitting area and a constant width sole for better forgiveness.

 

Features:

• i-brids™ blend the control and accuracy of irons with the forgiveness, distance and versatility of hybrids
  
• Super game-improvement mid and short irons deliver the ultimate in forgiveness with increased offset, a large effective hitting and a constant width sole
  
• Fully integrated set design provides seamless performance progression with consistent distance separation and optimal trajectories
  
• Callaway Golf Core Technologies include Extreme Notch Weighting, VFT®, S2H2® and a 360º Undercut Channel
  
• Modified Tru-Bore® enhances feel and performance

Was previously using Cobra FP's (bought summer 07) as I thought I was ready last year to move to more of a players type club. Needless to say I was not quite there. After a poor round with the FP's a week ago I thought I should revert back to something offering a bit more offset and forgiveness...gave these, Nike Sumo and Ping G10's a try. By far these were the easiest to make consistent contact with. While the Callaway I Bird hybrid/irons (4 and 5) may not be appealing to a low scorer, anyone looking for something in the super game improvement category should give these a wirl. Just played a round today and have never hit the ball straighter. Thicker top line adds confidence...Just my two cents.
