2023 Big Bertha, Big Bertha Reva: Callaway updates easy-to-hit, game improvement offerings

Published

The latest installment in Callaway’s higher-handicap, lower-swing speed Big Bertha family includes new drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and irons for 2023.

Regarding the 2023 Big Bertha offerings, Brian Williams, VP of R&D at Callaway, said:

“This lineup is all about game-improvement and having fun. This is a line where we look at each club top to bottom to give golfers confidence, to give them confidence at address, and to help them have fun with the shots they play. To get the ball up in the air, get the ball downrange, and enjoy the game.”

Big Bertha Driver

Designed with the low, forward CG combination for players looking for maximum help launching the ball and eliminating a slice, the draw-biased 2023 Big Bertha driver features the company’s A.I. Designed High-Strength XL Face for a larger sweet spot and confidence-inspiring shape. A lightweight package bolstered by a triaxial carbon crown is paired with a lightweight Jailbreak system for stability and speed across the face.

Callaway’s Brian Williams: “This Big Bertha Driver recipe is one that we’ve refined now and carried over from the previous version, and that was a different way to approach how to kill a slice. In this application, we’re talking about reducing spin for this player that swings down and across the ball. In this version, we’ve refined that approach with a little bit lower and more forward CG positioning.”

“We have weight in the heel giving a visual signal that it’s going to be a draw bias. But really it’s the spin reduction that they’re going to see that gets the ball further and straighter down the fairway…The lower RPMs reduce that side spin, reduce the overall back spin, bring the ball a little bit lower, and keep it left.”

Big Bertha Fairway Woods

Designed for forgiveness, ease of launch, and slice minimization, 2023 Big Bertha fairway woods feature a shallow face and oversized profile, as well as progressively shorter shaf lengths for more consistent contact. Callaway implements its Jailbreak with Batwing Technology for increased body stability with face flex in the sweet spot for ball speed. The 3 and 5-woods are adjustable.

Callaway’s Brian Williams: “We focused on making the easiest launch fairway wood in the game. This is a very, very repeatable, controllable, easy to launch fairway wood…. It’s deep, it’s forgiveness, and that really shallow face helps you get under the ball with really high launch and a good result.”

Big Bertha Hybrids

Big Bertha Hybrids feature strategically placed tungsten weighting for ease of launch and slice minimization. Large, high-volume head shapes with enhanced offset contribute to the aforementioned, as well. A.I. designed Jailbreak with Batwing Technology and a high-strength, A.I.-designed 455 face cup complete the package.

Callaway’s Brian Williams: “The mission here is to create that complimentary offering for players, and really give them flexibility on how they put their set together. With different options that all promote confidence, these hybrids are easy to launch, they’re easy to hit, and they’ll go far…They’re very versatile, playing out of a variety of conditions, and giving a lot of flexibility to players on how they can build their sets.”

Big Bertha Irons

Easy to hit, with a confidence-inspriging shape, and plenty of technology, Callaway’s 2023 Big Bertha irons round out the BB lineup. Leveraging A.I. and premium materials, engineers are throwing everything against the wall to benefit golfers who need the maximum amount of help from their golf clubs.

Up to 11 grams of internal tungsten is used in Big Bertha irons to maximize forgiveness and up to 43 grams of internal tungsten weighting is positioned for high-launch in the long irons and enhanced control in the short irons, according to the company.

Callaway implements its A.I.-designed face cup in the Big Bertha irons as well with each face featuring a unique pattern for optimum speed and spin.

Big Bertha irons are designed with thicker toplines, wider soles, enhanced offset, and longer blade lengths for maximum confidence and performance.

Brian Williams on Callaway Big Bertha irons: “We’re trying to make our most forgiving, easiest to launch iron. An iron that players can swing easy and get up in the air and get downrange….We hope this is seen as a very balanced iron – premium cosmetics, it looks beautiful there’s visible tech, and then a shape that inspires confidence. This is a very traditional Callaway shape. We have offset to help this player, the topline thickness, sole widths, and longer blade length. It’s an iron that’s forgiving and is going to be good on launching the ball high.”

Big Bertha irons also come in a durable Black Smoke finish.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

May 12, 2026

Gianni Magliocco

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
