The Callaway GBB Epic driver is replacing the Callaway Great Big Bertha which was launched at the back end of 2015.
With the Callaway GBB Epic driver we see a raft of improvements and new technologies which should make the new product more forgiving.
The Great Big Bertha was a fantastic product – one of the best drivers out there in 2016 so we were keen to see how the new model compared.
It was time to call the anonymous big hitter into action once more.
Callaway GBB Epic driver v Callaway Great Big Bertha – The methodology
The test took place at the Golf Shack at Moor Allerton in Leeds.
Both drivers were tested using the same Aldila Rogue M•AX 65 stiff shaft with 9˚ of loft.
Results were monitored using Trackman 4 under the watchful eye of our resident pro James Whitaker.
Callaway GBB Epic driver v Callaway Great Big Bertha – The technology
Callaway have moved the sliding weight track to a more central position and have made it shorter than the one on the Great Big Bertha.
The weight is also heavier which Callaway say means there’s 22 percent more shot-shape correction with the Epic than with the Great Big Bertha.
