Model Reviewed: Callaway 2007 Big Bertha 3-wood / graphite
Summary: I was never satisfied with my TaylorMade Dual N 3-wood. It was decent but nothing special. I saw that Golf Digest and Golf Magazine both selected the Big Bertha Fairway as their top fairway wood in 2007. That caught my eye.
After a range session I bought the 3-wood with stock graphite shaft. It has been startling how well I hit this club. a) Most swings produce very solid contact; b) Trajectory is much better than other 3-woods; c) Distance is also a big improvement; d) Great off the deck or off the tee. Now qualifies as the best golf equipment purchase I have made (and I've had a few . . . ). Ordered the 5-wood.

Summary: Great feel and sound but in my opinion the stock shafts are junk. I had the stock callaway shaft in stiff and it seemed to soft in the tip and the bend point seemed to low causing shots to go to high. I recently reshafted with the v2 65gram low torque stiff and it gives me the best trajectory. Awsome head but consider reshafting to get the most out of this club head

Summary: I have had a chance to play 3 rounds since my last review. This club is wonderful for me. It's much better, IMO, than my old 2004 Callaway 3-wood. I could launch the ball nicer and higher , similar to my 10-yr Olimar wood, except better. The ball jumps off the club face, I never had a 3-wood that I feel and play as good as this club. I am considering a 5-wood now, and I am looking for a 5-wood with the Aldila NV shaft , which I like a lot, I believe it makes a big difference in the ball's flight

Summary: I shoot in a range of 87-95. I bought a 2004 Callaway BB 3-wood during summer of 2006, did not like it because I could airborn my 10-yr old 13-degree Olimar wood much better than my 15-degree BB Callaway. Called Callaway and discussed this problem, they asked me to send it back to Callaway. Yesterday a lady from customer service called and told me that, according to tech department, the 2004 head is DEAD, whatever it means, and offered to replace my club with a 2007 BB 3-wood. Needless to say, I am very happy. So they are building a 2007 BB 3-wood with my shaft of choice (Aldila NV R-flex). With this kind of excellent customer service, Callaway is and has been my first choice when I search for new clubs. Hopefully I will receive my new 2007 SS BB 3-wood next week. Thanks Callaway
