Big Bertha is almost 20 years old, and it is one of the most successful golf accessories ever. Though, due to its shape (a large head made 100% from stainless steel), when it was first sold, Big Bertha Callaway was considered to be a very modern driver, that wasn’t quite appreciated by all the golfers.
When Big Bertha FT Fussion appeared, it has rapidly got a name among the pro golfers. For example, Phil Mickelson used it in the competitions somewhere in the beginning of the 2000’s. Big Bertha FT Fussion was preferred due to its weight, and that is because the driver was about 25% lighter than the others.
One of the latest models, Big Bertha 460, is one of the biggest drivers ever created. In fact, the driver is almost illegal since its measures are somewhere near the maximum allowed sizes. Moreover, Big Bertha 460 has a flat crown and a shallow face (and therefore, its center of gravity is much lower than the regular position of the regular golf clubs), fact that allows the users to shoot on big distance, with a high degree of accuracy.

Northern Ireland golfer Rory McIlroy’s success in clinching the US Open championship has been hailed as an “outstanding achievement”.
The 22-year-old from Holywood, County Down, broke a series of records as he won his first major title with an eight shot victory.
Now ranked fourth in the world, he is not expected back in Northern Ireland until Wednesday at the earliest.
In a message posted on twitter he said he was “proud to be a major champion”.
His triumph follows that of compatriot Graeme McDowell in the same event last year.
During the presentation ceremony McIlroy shouted across to his father Gerry: “Happy Father’s Day – this one’s for you”.
Mr McIlroy said it was hard to put the magnitude of his son’s victory into words.
“He has been fantastic,” he said.
“After the Masters he worked hard over the last couple of months to get where he is now, it is unbelievable.
“On Father’s Day, what a present.”
The Northern Ireland First and Deputy First Ministers led the tributes to McIlroy following his victory.
He has also been praised at Westminster and in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Prime Minister David Cameron said McIlroy’s win was “tremendous”.
“He’s an incredible talent and clearly has a very exciting career ahead of him,” he added.
Leaving his rivals in his wake, McIlroy became the quickest player in the 111-year history of the US Open to reach 10 under par (after 26 holes).
