Manufacturer Description
The new Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver is the biggest Big Bertha driver ever. The big 454cc size means more hallmark Big Bertha performance: more forgiveness, more confidence, and more distance. The extra large clubhead provides more stability–thanks to a higher Moment of Inertia created by maximizing perimeter weighting–for more accuracy off the tee. Plus an ultra-thin, formed face creates a huge sweet spot that delivers increased ball speed. The new Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver: the tradition continues.
- Big 454cc size for a high Moment of Inertia with more resistance to twisting on off-center hits
- Huge effective hitting area on the clubface for more forgivenes
- Patented Technology includes Short Straight Hollow Hosel (S2H2) design that repositions weight to the perimeter
- Tru-Bore technology provides improved feel and clubhead control

I've been using the Titleist 975J Driver. I just bought the Callaway 454 from a friend for $135.00. I've never been very long off the tee, however, with my 975J, I was able to drive a ball about 250-260 yards, this is the fartherest I've ever been able to hit it. With my Callaway 454, I've gained over 20 yards (consistently). I'm now driving it 280-290 yards. I'm able to play longer courses so much easier. At my local course, I shot 73 ( 1) yesterday. I never knew I could invest $135.00 and get the return that I have with my new driver. Isnt Technology Great.

This driver will offer both the average and low handicap player the feeling and distance they want. You'll get the POP back you're looking for, but have been missing. Just make sure you get the right flex shaft. I've found that the standard Callaway regular shaft will carry the load. If you're alittle faster swinger, you may want to load up a Fuje firm or stiff. Head is biggest to come from Callaway, but just wait, they'll have other's in the future.

I just purchased a new Callaway Golf Big Bertha 454 after several demo sessions. I gained 15 to 20 yards off the tee, and improved performance on mis-hits! I "demo'd" several other leading mfrs, and preferred this club.

Frequently asked questions about
Hello,
I understand most drivers come in a 10.5 and 9.5 degree loft. I use a 10.5. When teeing off, my ball usually has a lot of loft and goes really high in the air, should I switch to a 9.5 degree

Thank you for your question.
Is it worth testing out? Absolutely. Will the 9.5 give you a more penetrating ball flight is the question. Most golfers would kill to have more hang time but I know how you feel. I was in the same boat at one time and tested different lofts much like you. I ended up staying with the higher loft though. I would test it prior to officially making a move.
Play Well,
Johnny

The higher loft will also be more controllable of the tee..

If you are not a low handicap golfer, where you play can make a lot of difference in driver loft choices. In the northern US. especially on the plains, wind can be a huge factor in driver loft effect. We have 160 yd par 3's where 10/12 handicap golfers are using drivers straight into a 35 mph wind. I use a 9.5 TM Burner draw. But I have a Titlist 10.5 I take to Phoenix (low or no wind) and FL (tree lined courses). High trajectory on windy links courses can really beat you up with a high loft. //

In general, the 9.5 degree will tend to give a lower ball flight. However, the shaft also contributes to launch angle. Find a Golf shop that has a simulator that can measure your swing path, launch angle, club-head speed, ball speed, spin and distance. With this information, your Pro can tell you if you need a different club, or just a new shaft.

Thank you for your question.
You would fall in the 'Regular' flex category based upon your swing speed.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

You're definitely a regular flex
Senior flex starts from 70-80
Regular is from 80 to about 100
Stiff 100 to 115ish
X-stiff 115+

My driver swing speed is 90mph, straight ball flight, and using the Burner driver, I need a stiff shaft. With the regular I do not have the same control as with the stiff shaft and distance is almost identical. Try one out on a range or on a monitor. Swing speeds do not always reflect the correct shaft for your swing. It's only a generic number but is a good starting point.

I have used the YS-6 shaft in the 905T and the FT-i with pretty good success. Can you name me a couple other shafts that you think would give me the same "feel" and control? Thanks.

Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few other brands that have similar weight and launch profiles of the Graphite Design YS series. You should notice that the Aldila NVS 65, the Graphalloy ProLaunch 65, the UST V2 67, and the Fujikura E360 are all very comparable.

My avg club speed was measured to be 108 mph , should I be looking at a extra stiff shaft
Anonymous

That clubhead speed is considered to be high enough for an extra stiff. Typically speaking, anyone who can swing their driver 105+ should be in extra stiff.

which shaft is better between regular and stiff

Great Question. Everything is subjective to your swing though. Do you tend to swing slower or more quickly? The rule of thumb is that if your swing speed is slower than 95mph then you should probably get a regular flex driver and if your swing is over 100mph then you should probably get a stiff flex driver. That leaves a little grey area that you from 95 to 100 where you can use either flex.
I hope this helps.
