I believe that these irons are one of the best, if not the very best,ever made for the "average" golfer. Good solid feel, long, and the most important, the wide sole that greatly reduces the risk of "fat" shots. If you don't get to play on courses that provide ample "cushion" on the fairways, like most of us play on, give these a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the good, solid hits you will get off of less than perfect fairways. I think that Callaway would be remiss if they didn't return with a close version of these irons (wide sole)soon. I'm 81 yrs old, shoot in the mid to high 70s with these irons - they sure work for me.
Forget about all the marketing on the newest golf clubs. There is no other irons that are more forgiving, easier to hit than Callaway. Don't waste your money on a new set, any used set of Callaway irons are all that you need. I have never found any iron set that I would trade my Callaway clubs for. Many of my golfing buddies purchase new sets on of brand X irons, but end up going back to their old callaway's irons. I purchased the 2002 Big Bertha irons for my wife. She has played Ping eye Two irons for 15 years. Now that she has played with the Big Bertha's, she wonders why she waited so long to change. Tony
These clubs remind me of hybrids. The soles are super wide. This not only moves the center of gravity lower and farther back, but it also prevents those FAT shots. The low center of gravity and deep cavity combine to make these clubs very forgiving. Shots off the toe and heel still seem to find the fairway. Like Callaway says, its all about Game Enjoyment.
I only play about 10 times per year and score in the low 90's. I couldn't rationalize the price for a new set. I played this set twice and absolutely love them. Great weighting and feel. Easy to hit with a huge sweet-spot from both the rough and fairways. You get great loft which makes it easy for a player without backspin to stop on the green. Only negative.. Due to the height and trajectory, I may have lost 5 yards per club. I'm still trying to learn my distances but I wouldn't trade them for double what I paid.
They say you can't improve on perfection, but Callaway does it with the Big Bertha 2002. I've owned a set of the Big Bertha 94 Originals and thought that no other iron could match them. I was wrong The 2002s surpass the Originals in shot length, accuracy and forgiveness. The VFT (variable face technology) developed by Callaway causes the ball to jump off the club face. I take a nice easy swing and wow, the ball flies. I recommend the 2002 for all golfers.
