Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 Hybrids Offer Distance And Adjustability

Callaway's new Big Bertha Alpha 815 Hybrids are designed to produce low-spinning shots from a variety of fairway lies and rough.

Meet the new Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 Hybrids - your new best friends for hitting low spinning shots from a variety of fairway lies and rough.

Similar in design to Callaway's X2 Hot Pro hybrids, the new 815 models feature a compact head shape, minimal offset and a low, forward center of gravity for increased distance and lower spin rates. However, unlike X2 Hot lineup, the 815 hybrids feature an adjustable hosel and offer the same ball speed performance found in Callaway's new Big Bertha Alpha 815 fairway woods.

Here's a summary of all the performance benefits found in the new Big Bertha Alpha 815 Hybrids:

  • Forged Hyper Speed Face Cup
    Improves ball speed across the face, especially on misses low on the face.
  • Controlled Trajectory
    Penetrating ball flight and less spin is what you get from hybrids that feature a low and forward center of gravity.
  • Compact Head Shape With Less Offset
    Compact-looking head shape with minimal offset preferred by better players.
  • OptiFit Adjustability
    Adjustable hosel provides eight combinations of loft and lie angle settings.

The Big Bertha Alpha 815 hybrids ($249, in stores January 16, 2015) are available in three lofts: 18 (2H), 20 (3H) and 23 (4H). They come stock with Fujikura's Speeder 865 shaft (R, S and X flexes).
