Callaway Big Bertha 2023 Irons 6 - PW,AW,GW Graphite Shafts RCH 65R – I have been playing golf for approx 50 years; my average GA handicap over the last 5 years would be about 14 to 15. I bought these clubs as a birthday present to myself because my Taylormade RSi irons were starting to get a bit shabby. I looked at specs and professional reviews and took professional advice for easy to hit irons with particular attention to loft. After testing the 7 iron in a simulator I was then fitted for length in my local golf shop. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have tried to play with these irons now for 6 weeks, taken them to the practice fairway a number of times but have found them almost impossible to hit. Okay' when I actually manage to get it right the 7 iron will travel about 125m and the PW about 90m. But 4 times out of 10 I am hitting the 7 iron weakly to the right (not a slice) and 5 times out of 10 I shank the PW, AW and GW. I no longer have any confidence in these irons and have reverted back to my old set of RSi irons, which I hit the same distance with no shanking. I believe the reviews published are by professional golfers, trying to sell an average iron at a big price. The average golfer, which I believe I am, will not find these clubs easy to hit at all. I didn't. In my time, I have had many sets of clubs but have never experienced the disappointment that I have with the Callaway Big Bertha 2023 irons. What a waste of $1800 AUD. I believe you may have to totally change your game to hit these irons well.

Hefty Price Tag - Good fishing Rod – Received a Callaway Ball Scoop as a present and for 2 months worked really well that was until I opened up 2 lengths and went to scoop up the gall ball that could be clearly seen. The scoop attached to the ball and as I brought it up to surface, the scoop ring and one other length with the ball went slowly to the bottom of the lake. Now I regularly check the tightness and there was no reason for it to occur. The ending I now have a fishing pole of around 12ft. I contacted Callaway in the US who referred me to Callaway Oceania who said they can't do anything as they engage the retailer as their representative and don't carry stock. I explained it was a present, there was no receipt and the elderly person what gave it to me, can't recall, so again basically told "bad luck" but not as direct.
