Callaway Big Bertha 454

[Kilted Arab]

As a 16 handicapper, can I go wrong with this club?

I've read a few good things about it and, as my Mrs is going home for a couple of months, I'm going to take advantage and get me a new driver.

This one seems to be the direction i'm heading in, unless there's contrary advice out there.

Cheers!

That is a very good driver, not spectacular but very good.

I like your reasoning behind buying a new driver lol!

I too have heard good stuff about the 454, I've been meaning to try one out to at least see what the deal is.

 

[Kilted Arab]

Thanks, obagain - any others you'd suggest?


Playdead...gotta take advantage...when she was home in January I got myself a new digital camera...

KA, were close to the same index, I'm a 15. The 454 is very forgiving but I'd try a few others if you can get demos. Try the new Mizuno 460 and the new Cobras, 460SZ and Comp.

I didn't care for it but alot of people like the new Ping G2 as well. Actually, try as many as you can cause who knows which one's gonna work best for you.

I'd throw the Launcher 460 Comp into the mix also Kilted ...

Cheers, DaveE! My choice here in Abu Dhabi is a little limited, haven't seen any Mizunos here...and I can't be arsed driving all the way to Dubai just to demo a few clubs...

But I can get a hold of the others you mention, so I'll give them a whack.


Mr Ireland...should I go for one with a woman's shaft..?

I've noticed that some of the smaller shops don't have Mizuno here even though it's become one the most popular brands. Plenty of other good choices.

Be sure to keep us informed so we can share your hoing experience. Have fun.

The 2 best drivers out right now for the average golfer is the Cleveland comp and the ping g2.

Take a look at the R5, very forgiving and and a very sweet club.

personally i would take the 454 over a ping g2 anyday. the g2 is over rated as is most ping products. hit everything you can and go with whatever feels best.
