Golf Review: Callaway Big Bertha 460 Driver- 6/24/07

Comments: Callaway’s entry to the 460cc driver market with the club that started the over-sized hype with a tendency for use by higher-handicappers as the target market than compared to the FT-5 or X drivers.

Pros: Great red, white, silver color scheme. Stands out in the driver market comprised of black, silver, gray colors and a non-gaudy red when compared to the Burner (yuck).

Cons: For a driver supposedly for those looking for forgiveness, this driver yielded mediocre results for me. Compared to the FT-5s hooks, the Big Bertha 460 produced low flying slices. Unfortunately the look of the Big Bertha 460 can’t overcome the slice bias and lack of distance produced.

Overall: So-so club that will sell by name and looks alone but does not compare to distance or even forgiveness as many of the new drivers on the market today.


Score: 2.75 out of 5
