Specifications of Callaway Big Bertha Irons
Ely Callaway founded Callaway Golf in 1982. The company became the largest golf club manufacturer in the world in 1996, and its list of staff professionals has included major champions Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Annika Sorenstam. Callaway's Big Bertha 2008 irons were the first line to feature i-brid clubs.
