Summary: I have tried these clubs off and on for years when various people I was playing with had them. I always thought they felt good and seemed to always hit the homerun shot with them. But being a golfing ho I continued to buy the latest and greatest thinking it would make me better rather than working on my swing. I finally decided to get fitted and bought this set in uniflex steel in my specs. +1/2 2*up. I have been crushing the ball and hitting my shots with much greater ease and on the sweet spot. I love these clubs..they just feel right in my hands...Nice controlled swing produces great results...long, straight, high, and soft. Off center still keeps the ball in a very playable area.
Very reasonable priced on callaway pre owned...you know they are going to be good and geunine...not like rolling the dice on ebay. In closing...get fitted it makes a huge difference, try these clubs if you can..they are the best clubs in my opinion callaway has ever made...I have hit and owned fusion, fusion widesole, X-18 and hit all the other new big bertha irons and the 2002's beat them all...My only issue is I waited so long to actual buy a set..Great for mid- handicaps...size has not been an issue at all once you see the results...
Summary: I bought a used set in graphite a few years ago after years of tinkering with numerous other clubs. These Berthas are the best for someone who wants to get out there and enjoy a game of golf and not worry so much about working the ball. It's like having a bag full of "rescue clubs." They are so forgiving I don't get anxious when I walk up to my ball to hit anymore. I'm short off the tee and needed to be able to hit the long irons. This is the only set of clubs where I can confidently hit the 4 iron. I recently bought a set of the '06 Big Berthas and took them back for my 2002s! Now I can concentrate on chipping and putting, which is where I lose most of my strokes. I am a certified golf club junkie and have tried everything from blades (what was I thinking -- 89 is a good score for me?) to various other models (see below for similar products used.) I may tinker again but will NEVER part with this set.
Summary: i've owned this set for over 5 years. besides my walmart set this is the only one i have golfed with until recently. i decided to make the jump to blades (mizuno mp 32) and after a few rounds with them it makes me appreciate just how easy my bb's are to hit. if i miss the sweet spot with the blades they really punish, but a miss with my bb's would only result in a slight yardage drop that would leave me scratching my head. these are great sticks for the occasional golfer or someone looking for an immediate game improvment. but if ur serious about attempting to improve ur game u will eventually have to give them up. they will not give u any feedback, u will never be able to work the ball effectivlly and for me looking down at that shovel did not enstill alot of confidence. another note, i like to walk when i play, and my bag must weigh atleast 20 pounds less since i lost the shovels. thats a big diff during 18 holes. i give the value a 5 because i know u can get these clubs for $150 and thats great value for these clubs. for rating i would give a 3.5 because as good as these clubs are, they are very limited in what they offer. but for most thats more than enuff.

Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed: Big Bertha 2002 Irons
Summary: These have to be the easiest irons I have every used, I now step up to the ball with confidence, I have gained about ten to fifteen yards with the longer irons and have seemed to lose distance with the shorter wedges, they send the ball high and stop it dead, the best money I have ever spent.
Summary: Best game improvement irons. Better than Bertha 06 and the original 96. My previous irons were the X18s. Nice set too, but I need more help. Very solid feel, confidence boosting clubs. Generates consistent straight shots. These irons are great because they make me want to go out and play.
Customer Service: Callaway is great. Answers emails promptly. Sent me a 3 pack of headcovers free of charge.
Similar Products Used: The past two years I have bought and traded X18, X20, X14, Bertha 06, rac os2(good irons), mx900, nike nds, vft, ping I3+. I plan on keeping these Berthas for awhile.
