Golf Clubs: Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Driver Review

I know what you're thinking. How can one model of golf clubs keep going after all these years? The innovation of the original Big Bertha woods from Callaway Golf was almost 20 years ago and still the name sells like it did before. Even with all the new branded drivers out from Callaway Golf the Big Bertha name has found a new home of late in the line for the average recreational player. But that still has not stopped the innovation, and with a new name on top of it, the name Big Bertha will be around for years to come.

The Callaway Golf Big Bertha Diablo is not just a club to keep the name alive. It is loaded with innovations that are an improvement to any other golf club to be graced with the Big Bertha name.

The Callaway Golf Big Bertha Diablo is an all titanium driver with a new technology called "Edge" that provides a very high MOI and positions the CG for very easy to launch, and very easy to control ball flights. The Edge technology gives the club a squarish look, but you will get over it in a hurry once you see how many more fairways you are hitting with this driver. Their Hyperbolic Face Technology is designed for maximum distance that was first seen in the X series drivers a few years ago. Available in a Neutral and Draw version, the Callaway Golf Diablo driver can be found in even some of gulfs better player's bags.

I had a chance to spend a little time with this driver recently and have been very impressed by the numbers. Numbers you ask? Distance and Fairways! I hit the ball very straight with this driver, and actually picked up a few yards. Trust me, a few extra yards are a big deal and easily noticeable with all the drivers I test! The shape is a little odd to look at, but the results made me forget about that in a hurry.

I was very surprised at how the ball jumped off the face, and with the Neutral version that I tested, was even more surprised that I could actually work the ball with this club. High, Low, Draw, and even a Fade! Players of all skill levels will love this driver, and for those who have a bit of a slice, the Draw version should help to straighten you out!

If you are in the market for a new driver in 2009. I suggest you take a look at this club as well as the other drivers I have reviewed this season. Stay tuned for more!
