Club Heads
The club heads on the Big Bertha irons are designed with Callaway's Extreme Notch Weighting. This redistributes the weight to the toe and the heel of the club head in the back and down low. This is done to give the club a high Moment of Inertia, which gives you better distance and accuracy on mishits.
Club Face
The Big Bertha irons have a club face constructed with Variable Face Thickness Technology. This lowers the center of gravity in the club head by varying the thickness of the face between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm. In the sand wedge, this has the effect of providing an improved trajectory height.
Hosel
The hosel is the small joint that connects the club head to the shaft. The Big Bertha hosels are short, straight and hollow, which allows the weight to be distributed lower and to the perimeter of the club, where it is more useful. The hosels on the Big Bertha irons also are designed with Callaway's Tru-Bore Technology, which allows the shaft to extend through the hosel and club head to the sole. This is done to improve control and feel by moving the end of the shaft closer to the middle of the club face.
