Callaway Driver Timeline

Callaway Driver Timeline

Callaway makes some of the best drivers available for professionals to beginners. I have trusted Callaway for years to create clubs perfect for fixing my bad habits. Below are the Callaway clubs in order from the beginning! They have always been at the forefront of innovation. 

 1991

The Original Big Bertha

Many people are still loyal to the Big Bertha 30 years later. The original came out way back in 1991 and set the stage for Callaway to become one of the most trusted brands in golf. Back then, it was the biggest driver on the market and provided more power than any other. Callaway was was the first to understand the average golfer's needs. 

1995

The Great Big Bertha

Titanium clubs were slowly making themselves known at this point in history. People didn't always want to give up their wood clubs if there wasn't a significant difference in performance between the 2 materials. Great Big Bertha popularized these new materials. 

1997

The Biggest Big Bertha

The biggest to date! As titanium technology improved, these clubs were able to gain size without weighing down too much. With added forgiveness and substantial size, many players chose to have this club in their bag. 

1999

The Great Bertha Hawk Eye

This driver combines the strength and light weight of an oversized titanium clubhead complemented by a Tungsten Gravity Screw to dramatically lower the center of gravity.  The head size is 250cc. 

2002

C4 Graphite

The C4 was known for it's interesting sound— similar to a classic persimmon but made with graphite. This club has lower weight plus an internal strip of urethane and tungsten for better distribution.

ERC Fusion

2004

Big Bertha Titanium

2005

Big Bertha Titanium 454

This club reached the limits for size and just barely hit the maximum on the 460ccs limit imposed by USGA. The hollow hosel allows less weight while creating more feel upon impact.

FT-I

This club had a focus on high MOI (moment of inertia) and reduces twisting on impact and limits off-center hits. The FT-i provides optimal forgiveness and is best suited for high handicappers.

FT- 9

This club became popular because of the explosive feel the clubhead provides. The FT-9 was a great improvement over the FT-5 due to improved sound and feel. The forgiveness is notable, as you will have a hard time ever being off center.

Diablo Octane

Callaway created a new material called Forged Composite which the manufacturer says is lighter and stronger than titanium, the material that many other drivers are made from. This makes a huge difference in speed for many golfers.

Big Bertha Alpha

This Big Bertha is different from the previous models. While still 460ccs, this club doesn't look it. It even feels smaller but maintains powerful performance. The depth of head and overall shape gives it a softer feel and sound.

The first rogue in a long line of future rogues! This club is still popular today in their rogue st version. If you need impeccable distance and amazing forgiveness, this one is for you.

If you are looking for low spin, fast ball speeds and great feel, then Rogue SB is still going to fit that bill, even with a few tweaks from the Epic.  The Rogue Sub Zero offers just enough changes that make it a worthy post Epic.
