Let me say it another way… Lighter, Faster, Longer. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it is something you should be aware of.īig Bertha V-Series, is lightweight, it’s aerodynamic, and it’s got a hotter Hyper Speed Face. Like nearly every other club design decision, there’s a tradeoff that comes with going light. Most R&D guys will tell you that there’s a direct correlation between head weight and MOI (heavier heads are more stable), so while V-Series might be higher MOI than something else, it’s almost certainly lower MOI than the same design would be with a more conventional head weight.

Hence the whole lighter, faster, longer thing.Ĭallaway also mentions that the V-Series driver offers what it calls high MOI. We’ve covered this design principle before, but for the sake of mind-numbing redundancy… if you can make the club travel faster (through aerodynamic improvements, weight reduction, or both), you increase ball speed, and the ball goes farther.

Let the buying frenzy begin.Īs you’d expect from the successor to the most excellent FT Optiforce, Callaway’s V-Series (the V is for velocity) is packed full of Speed Enhancing Technology designed to promote distance through weight reduction and aerodynamics. Things are changing, but we’re not there yet, and so the prices of the old have been slashed, and here comes the new. Such is the reality of the golf industry. We could probably go digging around for some well-manufactured quotes from Callaway’s R&D team to explain why this year’s version of Lighter, Faster, Longer is better than last’s, but the simple reality is that FT Optiforce is an entire year old, everything else in the Callaway driver lineup has been discounted (in part to make room for the V-Series and whatever is to come next Spring), and well, it’s not going to hurt Callaway any to have a new full-retail-price/full-margin product on the shelves.

Newer is Better (and brings in higher margins).

This particular release feels (Opti) forced. I’m not sure Callaway can warm up this crowd. Early reaction to most releases from TaylorMade and Callaway is almost always negative), but this time around, it’s hard to blame them.or it…or whatever is the proper way to refer to the interwebs as whole. Thus far, the interwebs aren’t impressed (don’t read too much into that. In case you missed it, yesterday Callaway made their new Big Bertha V-Series driver (and fairway wood) official.
