so this is just an out and out bruiser hit it as long as you can driver? It looks nice, but is 4 drivers in one manufacturers range too much?

Local AG reckoned TM had 6 current models a month or so back!

Isn't that how all of them are marketed nowadays?

I believe in production right now there is the SLDR and maybe the Jetspeed ( maybe )

The rest will be old stock hanging around - R1 , RBZ Stage 2 ( maybe Stage 1 )

Callaway I believe have 4 current "live" models - 3 Big Berha models plus the X Hot 2

Cool, it's released on my birthday.

Feel free to send me one Mike for my birthday pressie, I'll email you my address :thup:


Hang on a minute......it's got the same 'aerodynamic' design as the original Bertha range from the 90's. Is Callaway turning into the new Taylormade for trying to pull the wool over our eyes?

45.5in so not a clothes pole for extra distance job.

Golf WRX have it alongside the BB so around £250 ?

 

[NorfolkShaun]

MMMmmmmmmm

 

[Pin-seeker]

£250 for a driver that will be no better than the previous model or the one before that.
A fool & his money.....

In terms of title and content not aligning, this has got to take the biscuit! So, it's for everyone that wants to drive really well, thanks for that! I know they need to advertise but this really annoyed me, not sure why this particularly -it just really jarred with me to the point of being offensive. Contrast with the much more subtle info-mercials others have produced and you'll see what I mean.

Is it just me, am I having a grumpy old man day - what is you view on this style of clip?
