Big Bertha
The Big Bertha 460 driver is a part of the Big Bertha line, and it was introduced in 2004. It is a continuation of the Big Bertha series that was started in 1991. The Big Bertha line was named after a cannon of the same name used by Germany during World War I. It was known for its accuracy and distance.
Clubhead
The Big Bertha 460 Driver is named after the volume of the clubhead, which is 460 cc. This is right at the limit for clubhead size set by the USGA. The size allows the weight to be distributed to the edges to keep the shots straight and long. The clubhead is made of titanium, and it has a shallower clubface and a flatter crown, which gives it the highest moment of inertia that Callaway had ever produced. This is designed to produce longer and straighter shots and give the best ball flight possible.
Specifications
This driver has a 10-degree angle of loft, a 56-degree lie, a 1-degree closed face angle and a swing weight rated at D2. The shaft of the driver is 45 inches long and weighs 60 grams.
Senior Flex Shaft
The standard shaft on this driver is a Callaway Golf BB 460 NVS by Aldila, which is a graphite shaft. Graphite is made from fibers coated in a resin and wrapped together to form the shaft. It has a senior flex, which is also known as a light flex. Flex is a measure of how much the shaft will bend when the club is swung. A senior flex means it will bend more than a normal shaft. Big Bertha 460 Drivers also are available with regular and stiff flex.
Warranty
All new Callaway Golf clubs are guaranteed against any type of defect for two years from the date of purchase. Any Callaway Golf club that is defective will be replaced or repaired by the company. The warranty won't be honored if the club wasn't purchased through an authorized Callaway Golf dealer.
