We tested: 3-PW in Callaway Golf Big Bertha graphite shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.5"/29°
Company line: "Big Bertha takes forgiveness to new heights by integrating i-brids — clubs to replace hard-to-hit long irons — with more traditionally-shaped mid- and short irons. The i-brids blend the control and accuracy of irons with the forgiveness, distance and versatility of hybrids."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Good for those who struggle getting the ball in the air; as always, Bertha does a very respectable job covering up directional misses; stability through rough compares well to other hybrid-like irons; pre-set to hit it high and straight; big, broad sole inspires confidence on long approaches; long-iron i-Brids are strong and accurate from the tee.
CONS: A limitation is that previous Berthas have been so good in their own right; impact feel is too dull; can be clumsy to chip with.
"Very simply, these correct directional imperfections." — Victor DeMarco (15)
