FIRST HIT: Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 fairway wood
Published:
The Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 fairway wood can be adjusted to create the ball flight you want to play, whether you tend to hit it most off the tee or the fairway. It features a two-weight system on the sole that allows the CG to be moved forwards and backwards. One weight is 30g and other is just 3g. Having the heavier weight at the front of the head lowers the spin and creates more fade bias because it is located more toward the toe. Having the heavier weight at the back increases the launch, spin, and MOI.
High ball speed and forgiveness comes from a forged Hyper Speed face cup while the compact head shape offers an appealing look preferred by better players. The fine tune the flight further, it boasts an eight way adjustable hosel for loft and lie angle. We hit it on Trackman at Thorpe Wood Golf Club in Peterborough to see how it performed.
Details: RRP £249 in lofts 14°, 16° and 18° adjustable with a Fujikura Speeder 665 shaft as standard.
