When you move the weight from the Draw chamber to
the Neutral chamber, you move the sweet spot toward the
toe and change the way the club performs on heel and toe
strikes.
In addition to having some of the best adjustability available,
the Big Bertha Alpha 816 is also surprisingly forgiving. The
R*MOTO face keeps ball speeds high even on mishits, and
the launch and spin numbers don’t change much on small
misses.
Finally, I have to mention how impressed I am with
Callaway’s commitment to fitting. It is beneficial to have
a fitter guide you through the process of dialing in the
Opti-Fit hosel and the Dual Distance Chambers, and you’ll
also need one to help you find the best shaft. Callaway is
offering 16 different shafts at no up-charge from names like
Fujikura and Mitsubishi. If you don’t take advantage of this,
you’re leaving yards on the table.
