Why We Like It
With a name like Big Bertha, you expect features like a wide sole and the kind of offset that is sure to tame a slice. However, it’s the guts of this club that delivers the goods. This iron’s cupface technology in which the face wraps around part of the topline and sole helps improve flex and distance. Tungsten weighting is generously used as well, including 43 grams inside the head to bolster forgiveness on mis-hits. Progressive center-of-gravity locations help with launch in the long irons and control in the short irons.

Reviews
Confidence-inspiring look and feel. Oversize clubhead without being bulky. The grooves focus your eye to the sweet spot. Definitely has some power, and I could easily flight shots.
Ryan, 48, Handicap: 10Compact head with attractive insert and balanced weighting. Unbelievably forgiving. Contact feels flushed even on mis-hits. Smooth swings produce an effortless, piercing ball flight.
Alex, 39, Handicap: 11The offset gives slicers confidence. Offset favors a right-to-left ball flight. Forgiving yet workable. Clubface serves as a springboard. Flatter sound with plenty of energy.
Scott, 36, Handicap: 14Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
