Callaway have used new materials in their new Big Bertha Fusion driver which they say has allowed them to add more forgiveness for every type of player.
Who doesn’t want forgiveness? Even the best players in the world don’t want their mis-hits to go off the planet. And it’s especially important for those who don’t find the middle of the club face on a regular basis.
The primary new technology in the Big Bertha Fusion is the use of triaxial carbon in the crown and sole – an very light and strong material which has allowed the centre of gravity to be strategically placed low and deep.
That accounts for the slightly unusual, deeper headshape which bears similarity to the FT-iZ driver.
Callaway say this headshape is a significant factor which has helped increased the MOI (resistance to twisting) which makes the Big Bertha Fusion incredibly forgiving on off-centre strikes.
The straighter flight on mis-hits will result in longer distance more often.
The Big Bertha Fusion driver also incorporates Callaway’s speed step crown which featured in the XR16 drivers.
The original was version was created in collaboration with aerospace experts at Boeing to enhance the head aerodynamics and promote faster clubbed speeds.
There are two high performance shaft options. UST’s first ever recoil driver shaft is designed to load and release more energy on the downswing for more power.
And there’s also a new Mitsubishi Diamana 60g Red Board shaft which aims to add high launch and low spin.
“Big Bertha Fusion’s innovative construction, which combines a titanium Exo- Cage with a triaxial carbon crown and sole, wouldn’t be possible without the nearly 20 years we’ve spent researching and developing carbon fiber technology,” said Dr Alan Hocknell, Senior Vice President, R&D.

Big Bertha Fusion Fairway Woods
The fairway woods utilise the same technology for more forgiveness and straighter flight on mis-hits.
The crown is composed of an ultra-light, ultra-strong triaxial carbon material and weighs in at just 5.8g.
