WE TESTED: 3 (16°), 5 (19°), 7 (22°), 9 (25°) in
Big Bertha graphite shaft

COMPANY LINE: "Our oversize steel head has a
high-MOI with a low center of gravity due, in
part, to a low leading edge and large wide
face. It has a 'consistent alignment sole' plus
'correct alignment stripe' along the crown."

OUR TEST PANEL SAYS: The easiest-to-hit
fairway woods; aim at the green and expect
no curves — the heads just kill sidespin;
comfortable, stable and predictable feel — plenty of zing without the sting;
performance from rough far exceeds what is
expected from a large-headed fairway wood.

These simply won't let me
hit it crooked. — George Irwin, 15 handicap
