Callaway Golf Big Bertha Fusion FT-3 Driver (Draw)

Unprecedented performance, distance, accuracy, and confidence.
Introducing Fusion Technology, a weight-shifting science developed by Callaway Golf that utilizes multiple materials in club-head construction.
As a result, the FT-3 Drivers have 44 grams of discretionary weight which can be precisely positioned within the club-head, to maximize stability and generate corrective-spin characteristics.

The Callaway OptiFit System creates three configurations for each loft Draw, Neutral and Fade allowing golfers to select a configuration that best fits a particular swing type and shot shape.

People have been developing the golf ball and clubs for many years. In the last 100 years, however, science has played an increasing role in golf club development, with a strong influence coming from research into new metals, synthetic materials, and composites. Other developments worth noting:

• The introduction of the casting method of manufacturing club heads in 1963.
• The introduction of graphite for use in shafts in 1973.
• The manufacture of metal woods in 1979 (first undertaken by TaylorMade). This last creation rendered persimmon woods obsolete, although a small number are still crafted.

The application of titanium to club heads raised the bar in technological development just a few years ago. Lighter than previous materials yet stronger than steel, titanium allows club makers to create larger club heads with bigger sweet spots that push the legal limit of 470 cubic centimeters. Such clubs provide high-handicap golfers a huge margin for error - there’s nothing quite like the feel of a miss-hit ball traveling 200 yards! But it’s golf balls flying in excess of 300 yards that raise suspicions that these new clubs are making the ball too “excitable”.

Hybrid Golf Clubs

It is 2007, Do You Know Where Your Hybrid Is?
By: Steve Mabry

A hybrid is a cross between an iron and a fairway wood. It comes in many different designs and shapes which offer the accuracy and consistency of aniron with the distance, trajectory and forgiveness of a wood. Just ask Todd Hamilton, who used a Sonartec Md to get up and down many times at last years British Open to when the Claret Jug.

Hybrid clubs have been around for decades. In 2002, the Darrell Survey showed 15 percent of PGA TOUR players carried a hybrid club. In 2004, TaylorMade rep Keith Sbarbaro says that 25 to 40 players put the TaylorMade Rescue Mid in play each week. Add 14 to 20 using Mizuno’s Fli-Hi, 20 using Sonartec Md’s, a handful using the New Callaway Heavenwood and Nike’s Pro Combo Utility Iron, and 50 players using the Titlist 503.H. That is almost 70 percent of each weeks tournament field carrying some kind of hybrid.”Hybrid popularity stems from the simple fact that they work,” says Chuck Couch, Mizuno’s director of marketing. “They are not just for high- or low-handicap players; they work for players of all abilities.”

Hybrid growth is impacting how a traditional set of irons is sold. “Many retailers offer a combo set, with a hybrid or hybrids replacing one or two long irons. This movement will continue,” said Tom Olsavsky, TaylorMade’s Director of product marketing for metalwoods. Some manufacturers now offer mixed sets that integrate hybrids with the traditional irons so it works as one consistent set in terms of length, lie, loft, swing weight, feel, and look.

“We brought the Idea integrated set into the market because it’s the next logical step in applying hybrid technology,” Chip Brewer, President of Adams Golf, said. “A single hybrid is a very reasonable approach for good players who simply want to replace a 2-iron.

But the level of precision and accuracy becomes more relevant as you get deeper into the irons, and that’s where the advantages of having an integrated set become clear.” Having access to equipment trailers on TOUR gives the Pros an advantage in knowing what clubs to add or replace with a hybrid. What about the average golfer?”We believe consumers are learning more about hybrids,” explained Mike Ferris, Callaway’s product manager for woods. “We see Big Bertha Heavenwood hybrids complementing our fairway woods and replacing mid and long irons.”

“The hybrid is definitely a club of the future for golf,” says TaylorMade’s Olsavsky.Now is the hybrid’s time. Where is yours?
