Callaway Big Bertha

[scratchswinger]

This would be the first Callaway driver that I have played since the FT5 TH.

Does anyone know what lofts these drivers will be offered in?

I know the alpha will come in 9* only. That's what I was told anyways...

So it's not a one size fits all, 8.5-10.5, is it?

[Dpavs]

Only one loft I believe is correct but since it will sport the optiforce adapter you can go down 1 degree and up either 1 or 1.5 (think I got that right anyway ..lol)

The unpainted pic I believe was the BB Alpha's COG port where the flip weight goes... the painted slider is obviously the BB.

Where are these pics you speak of?

[xThor]

^^pictures have been on last few pages.

As far as loft, optiforce goes 1* down / 2* up. I expect BB to be the same.

from the pics... just looks like a TM driver with a flappable weight? Hope there is more tech behind it than that.

You will be disappointed then.

[Jackjv21]

So it will have the optiforce hozel but I also read on here that it will have the tour adapter like the TA. Which one, or possibly a combination of both?

I think you mean he won't be disappointed....

[ZJohnson]

Same tip as the OptiForce. -1 and +2. So from 8-11*

[townsendyoung]

One loft for BB and BB Alpha?

[mgholda]

We will know for sure on Cyber Monday, or should it be renamed to Callaway Monday? I hope callaway.com can handle the traffic better than healthcare.gov.

yes. Alpha is one loft. BB is not. 9.5, 10.5 and 13 for BB, from what I remember.

I was just about to edit my post, thanks

[deck]

Very cool. Thanks for the link.

[scratchswinger]

I wonder how long those videos will be up. Alpha looks pretty cool, I wonder how many people will play it with the CG high vs. Low.

[jay_dwight]

Looks good, I don't like the silver face of it or of the SLDR, I wish they'd stick with all Black.

Are we allowed to post screen shots from the video?
[/quote]

Come on. Yes. Why wouldn't we be? If Callaway complains like ping did then the mods will do what they did in I25 thread.

[youngwaldo]

Nice find Deck

Wk

[mgholda]

BB Alpha is a game-changer. I definetly want to see the shape of the head from address. Nice find on the video!

[Towelieeee]

Someone's in trouble...

[whatsthecourserecord]

Thanks for the video heads up born4golf. Like the way both drivers sound. Can't wait to get more pics.

[Kadin 25]

Sorry I'm late to the party didn't see if this has been posted yet...

[StarFleetGolfer]

I watched one but now videos are gone

[Bogey's Belly]

That was fast

[J13]

Video's are gone now. Callaway works quickly lol

[PingDrv00]

I saw them, and the tech looks interesting. I am interested to see how the perform, I wish they had a bit hotter sound though.
