Callaway Driver Adjustments' title='Callaway Driver Adjustments' />Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 8. Driver Review. The Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 8. Big Bertha name. The original Big Bertha Alpha driver that was launched earlier in 2. So what is the difference between the Alpha 8. Alpha Well, basically it spins a little more and is more forgiving. With the original Alpha you really needed a swing speed of over 1. The head on the 8. Callaway Club Specialist, Ross Stewart shows you the adjustability features on the new Big Bertha Driver, including Adjustable Perimeter Weighting. Here are all the. Alpha is the same 4. The stock shaft is the Fujikura Speeder 5. Callaway fitting session came out as the best one for me as it was the most consistent for accuracy. There is also a new face design called the RMOTO which removes a little weight from around the face to enable it to increase the ball speed on off centre hits. Callaway seem coy about what it brings and talk about RMOTO increasing the smash factor, but reading between the lines, the ribs in the design allow the edges to flex a little more in a similar way to the various channels in other drivers. The RMOTO ribs also allow 3 grams of weight that would have been in the sole to be moved elsewhere to the edges of the head to increase the MOI and the forgiveness of the club. Like the original version, the Alpha 8. Gravity Core weight that moves the Centre of Gravity CG vertically. Shop from the worlds largest selection and best deals for Callaway Stiff Golf Drivers.

The only difference is that you can now see through the sole screw to view the silver or dark end of the Gravity Core, so you know which way it is up without having to unscrew it. I could also go on about the lighter Forged Composite crown that you know and love from past Callaway drivers, but the gist of all this is that the classy looking head sound and feels great with that unique combination of titanium and graphite sound that makes Callaway drivers stand out. Like the original there is an adjustable hosel and two sole weights of 1 and 7 grams that can be swapped between heel and toe locations to further optimise the CG location. I was fitted with the heavier 7 gram weight in the standard position in the heel of the sole and into a 9 degree head adjusted up 1 degree using the Callaway Optifit adjustable hosel. This only moves in 1 increments, so the choice of initial head loft is key as if you need 9. When you change face loft you also change the face angle, so trying all the various combinations with a professional fitter is a must. The other change I found during the fitting was that I had to tee the ball up higher than I would normally do to ensure I hit it on the up in order to get the best performance from the Alpha 8. This is the way with low spin drivers and is not really a problem, it just requires the knowledge to try it out and of course the swing to do it. With my 1. 00mph swing I was getting a low level of 2. However, it was the flight and dispersion that really stood out and in this configuration was one of the most consistently straight drivers I have tested recently, which backs up the forgiveness story. And this really sums up what the Alpha 8. It is a premium piece of equipment with a choice of 3 adjustable variables in sole weight, hosel and gravity core that will enable moderate to high swing speed players to fine tune it to suit their needs.

Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 Driver Review features the return of the Gravity Core in a more forgiving head. JefeisJefe/IMG_20130926_182317_zps05fc778e.jpg' alt='Callaway Driver Adjustment' title='Callaway Driver Adjustment' />The big benefit over the previous Alpha is that it is more forgiving, so it will suit more amateurs. However it is pricey and, similar to a luxury sports car, you should be the type of person who either needs the performance or appreciates that for a premium piece of equipment, it will need a little more effort to fine tune it in order to get the maximum benefit. You either see the value in opening your wallet further or you dont, but you wont be disappointed if you do. If you are a really high swing speed player then there is also a, wait for it, Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 8. Double Black Diamond driver, which is unofficially the longest driver in golf. If you are an accomplished skier then you will recognise Double Black Diamond DBD as the name of the hardest ski runs that are for experts only. Hence why Callaway has named this version of the 8. Alpha in a 4. 60cc head. Spss 17 Portable For Windows Xp. The head is also a little taller to move that CG closer to the face to reduce the spin and certainly when I tried it, the spin was less. There is also a bit more variance through the gravity core which is longer in the DBD and adds another 1. There is no alignment aid on the DBD crown, but it does look very classy with the glossy finish to the head. The original Alpha sits in between the 8. DBD for spin, hence why the Alpha is being discontinued, but the higher spinning standard blue headed Big Bertha is maintained in the range for 2. Like a Double Black Diamond ski run, this driver should only be considered by elite or very high swing speed players who can regularly hit the centre of the face as the forgiveness is less too. As this excludes me and probably most of you too, I would just pretend it doesnt exist unless you need a big scrabble score.
