Callaway's Big Bertha Alpha 815 Fairway Wood
A fairway wood with all the adjustability of a
modern driver. A fairway wood that let's you
precisely dial in your desired trajectory. A fairway
wood with a smaller, tour-inspired head design
catering to more advanced players. Of course I'm
talking about the Callaway
Big Bertha Alpha 815 Fairway
Woods.
Callaway's new fairway wood comes with two
adjustable weights (3 grams and 30 grams) that
let you customize launch conditions. Want less
spin and a more piercing ball flight? Position the
30-gram weight closer to the face. Moving the
heavier weight to the back port has the opposite
effect - higher launch, more spin. You'll also get
more stability, higher MOI and softer landing
shots.
The adjustable weights essentially allow
Callaway's fairway woods to play like two
completely different clubs and extends the shot-
making possibilities for highly skilled players.
Golfers who like to experiment with their gear can
tinker with different loft options and weight
settings to find the right mix of distance and
forgiveness.
Here's a summary of all the performance benefits
found in the new Big Bertha Alpha 815 Fairway
Woods:
- Forged Hyper Speed Face
Cup
Improves ball speed across the face, especially on
misses low on the face.
-
Adjustable Launch Conditions
The key feature of the new fairway woods,
movable weights let you adjust the center of
gravity more forward or back influencing launch
angle and spin rate.
-
Compact Head Shape
A traditional, more compact shape that appeals to
better players.
-
OptiFit Adjustability
Adjustable hosel provides eight combinations of
loft and lie angle settings.
