UR fastest Bertha
yet is how
Callaway describe
their new Big
Bertha V Series driver and with a
total weight of just 290g it is not
difcult to see why.
The Big Bertha V Series
is built for distance from
lightweight materials, better
aerodynamics and rened
components with a high MOI
and OptiFit adjustability, say
Callaway.
Weve said it and well say it
again, its here to give you more
speed than youve ever had so
you can get #BerthaLong.
The basis of the technology
behind V Series is that a lighter
club helps create more clubhead
speed, which helps create more
ball speed, which helps you hit
the ball a long way.
The design means that the
total weight of one of these
drivers starts at just 290g.
To put it another way, thats
less than three iPhones.
The higher lofts are tted
with an ultra-light Bassara 42g
shaft while the 9 model comes
with a 565 Speeder as standard
which takes the total weight to
302g, still signicantly less than
the existing Big Bertha drivers.

O
V IS FOR VELOCITY
Callaway introduce a new addition to their Big Bertha
range and V Series is all about speed, says Dan Murphy

...and V Series fairways are
coming too
Just like the drivers, the V
Series fairway woods are
designed to offer speed,
long distance, versatility and
friendliness.
By packing in lightweight
speed-optimised technology,
with the modern Warbird
soleplate for versatility and
adding new high launch
designs to easily get the ball
moving up in the air, these
are the most friendly fairways
Callaway have ever made.
They are fast off the clubface
and you can hit them from
anywhere.
Also available in V Series
as a special option is the
legendary Heavenwood.
With loft between a 5 and a
7 wood, the shaft length of
a 3 wood and a head size
between a 3 and a 5 wood,
it is a specialist piece of kit
designed to make the game
easier.
