Summary: There is a lot of rubbish reviews out there but I plan to make an honest one.
I have never had confidence off the tee and decided to purchase the Callaway Big Bertha 460 driver off ebay. What a purchase.
Im not going to lie to you, you will not suddenly hit over 300 yards. You will however find it a whole lot easier to hit the ball straight. I am now on the fairway roughly 16 or 17 out of 18 holes, previously I was lucky to be on 9.
You will not be disappointed if you are looking to hit the fairways off the tee. When you catch it sweet too the ball will fly.
If you are looking for a driver to inspire confidence this is the club for you.

Summary: I have had the Titleist 983 E for about 6 months that I bought used, and as an ex-college baseball player I am long off the tee. The Titleist driver would crush one out of every 10 or so dead nuts, but the consistency in my swing was not there.
I tried the Big Bertha 460 on a range and hit it about 30 yds further than the Nike SQ and the new Cleveland hollow sounding drivers. And dead straight, I bought it that night.
In my first round with my new driver I hit over 60% of fairways, and my distance was ridiculous. I hit more than one drive over 320 yds, and this is legit, we played at a course with GPS carts that measured from the tee box. I'm not trying to brag, but this will give me more time to work on my short game, which desperately needs it.

Summary: I spent last week trying out drivers to replace my old one. I recently developed a habit of hitting a very bad hook near the end of rounds once I began to fatigue (old age can do that to you). When the club pro came into the shop on Monday he suggested I try hitting different shafts using the Big bertha 460 driver so we could get the weight right for the new driver (different brand than BB460) I planned to order. After I hit the BB460 for the first time I was stunned by how easy it was to hit. This driver wasn't even on my list of candidates. I'm a long hitter and it felt like I was hitting a wedge instead of a driver. I bought one off the shelf on the spot and went straight to the course and shot my lowest round of the year. This game is a lot easier when you play it from the short grass using driver / wedge to hit the greens. I may have lost a yard or 2 in distance, but not having to go around trees or hit from sand traps more than makes up for it.

Summary: I bought this driver from a guy that had used it twice. I had priviously bought the Cleveland Hibore XL and was very disapointed in the distance and how straight my ball went. Since getting the Big Bertha my game has drastically improved. I am not driving over 280 consistantly and perfectly straight. I highly recommend it to anyone with a slice or someone looking for a club that still performs great after off-center hits.

Summary: Forgiving and easy to hit straight. But no distance compared to most other drivers. This and the Sasquatch produced the shortest drives. The sight line paint chips with ball contact making the club look ugly quick. I would not recommend this driver.
Customer Service: Cally has great customer service. But not the preowned site. They are just lousy.
