Great Big Bertha remains a very popular driver. Any number of players still
swear by it. Callaway has released a number of new drivers since the first
Great Big Bertha, but none have registered with the public the way the earlier
model did.

Few golf clubs in history have
inspired such devotion. What makes the original Great Big Bertha so
friendly is its ability to inspire ease and confidence, and in some players, a
slow, smooth tempo. Great Big Bertha users may see longer,
more
accurate drives on their best efforts with other one-woods, but their overall
effectiveness almost always declines without the soothing participation of their
old Callaway buddy.
The
Great Big Bertha II is a good, solid performer that is considerably more
dynamic and stable than its namesake. The standard response has generally
been, “Yeah, works fine. Feels pretty good. Nice flat trajectories. Lots of
roll. Good distances. Not bad at all.
The deep-faced Great Big Bertha II
is a noticeably more dynamic driver than its Great Big Bertha predecessor.
Trajectories are much lower, spin rates are reduced, roll is greater, stability
is noticeably improved, feel is brighter, and distances are considerably longer.

There are two USGA-conforming Great
Big Bertha II drivers – the Great Big Bertha II Titanium and the Great Big
Bertha II Titanium Pro Series. The regular Great Big Bertha II has a bit of
progressive draw bias incorporated into it – partly from weight distribution and
partly from a slightly closed face in the two, most lofted models. The
subtle leftward bias of the Great Big Bertha II suited our faders quite nicely.
It generated strong, boring trajectories with understated left to right
movement.
Fades were controlled, but not eliminated.
In terms of distance, the Great Big
Bertha II has shown itself to be a solid performer for all. Overall distances
have been quite good for a 45” driver. The average results of the Great Big
Bertha II were uniformly good. It was always a contender and was not
consistently overwhelmed by any single driver. The individual drivers that beat
Great Big Bertha II in the hands of one tester generally lost to it in the hands
of the next. In other words, sometimes it lost to the TaylorMade R-580;
sometimes it won. Sometimes it lost to the Titleist 983K, Snake Eyes Fire Forged
360, NEXT Magnetix 360, Dynacraft DFS II or Adams Redline - and sometimes it
beat them. The driver that it did whoop every time out was the TaylorMade R-500.
Summary:
The Great Big Bertha II hits low and creates a lot of roll. Trajectory height
will vary with shaft and flex selection, but as a general rule, players should
factor in that the Great Big Bertha will hit a
degree to a degree and a half lower than its actual loft designation.
