The Great Big Bertha is one of the most recognisable franchises in golf equipment but in more recent times, it has been utilised in more underserved areas of the market, like in the offset and draw biased Big Bertha B21 and the ultra adjustable Great Big Bertha driver from 2015.
Today, we found out that Callaway has reinvented this iconic line as a lightweight, super premium and high performance range of woods and irons for a niche market. On sale from November 11th in the US only for now (it will be coming to mainland Europe next year but won’t be sold in the UK), it shares many of the technologies found in its more mainstream lines, like the Rogue ST drivers, adapting them slightly to cater for the well-off, slower swinging demographic.

The Great Big Bertha driver is 30g lighter than the Rogue ST Max driver aimed at moderate swing speed players that want to swing it faster and also need additional draw bias.

There’s also A.I. inspired Jailbreak for stability and a Flash Face for low spin and ball speed consistency. It will cost $699 and comes with an ultra-premium, lightweight UST Helium Nanocore Shaft and Winn Dri-Tac Lite Grip.

This has been made possible through Callaway’s thinnest ever A.i. designed titanium face and a body made from Commercially Pure Grade 4 (CP4) Titanium, an unalloyed titanium with trace amounts of impurities commonly…
