Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 fairways and hybrids

Following on from the launch of the 815 drivers, Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 fairway woods and hybrids have been introduced.
The 815 fairways fine-tune spin control and trajectory for optimum ball flights, while 815 hybrids come with the promise of increased distance.
Big Bertha Alpha 815 fairway woods:
The new 815 fairways are designed to provide increased ball speeds across the entire face, especially from shots missed low on the club.
This is achieved through a Forged Hyper Speed Face Cup, as well as 3g and 30g adjustable weights.
These can be moved forward to create a low-spinning ball flight, or back for a higher launch and better forgiveness.

The Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 fairways boast a compact head shape and eight-way OptiFit adjustability of loft and lie angle.
They are available from January 16, 2015 and come with an RRP of £249.
Big Bertha Alpha 815 hybrids:
According to Callaway, Big Bertha Alpha 815 hybrids will produce a more penetrating trajectory and increased ball speed across the entire face.
They are likely to be preferred by better players, thanks to a compact head shape and minimal offset.
Again, high ball speeds across the entire face come courtesy of a Forged Hyper Speed Face Cup.
An internal standing wave and sole weighting move the centre of gravity low and forward for a more penetrating ball flight with less spin.
There's eight-way adjustability through the OptiFit mechanism and a lightweight Speeder shaft helps create even more speed.
The Big Bertha 815 Alpha hybrids will also be available from January 16, 2015 with an RRP of £219.
