Technology / Specs
Callaway created the Big Bertha 2019 Hybrid to have easy launch, fast ball speed, and plenty of forgiveness. The company uses some tried and true technology as well as some new (for hybrids) features to deliver performance. Read all about it here.
Jailbreak Technology
To gain distance, golf clubs need to produce more ball speed. Callaway puts it’s revolutionary Jailbreak Technology into the Big Bertha 2019 hybrids, which is made to boost ball speed.
The technology consists of 2 vertical bars inside the head that sit behind the face. They connect the crown and sole, stiffening the body at impact and transferring energy to the golf ball. This energy is what produces higher ball speed.
Hyper Speed Face Cup and Ultra-Thin Face
Further adding to ball speed is the Hyper Speed Face Cup and an ultra-thin Carpenter 455 steel face. Hyper Speed Face Cup is the shape of the face, wrapping around to the sole of the club. Molding it into a “cup” shape helps more of the face flex at impact, upping ball speed on center hits and mis-hits.
The face is made out of an ultra-thin, strong Carpenter 455 stainless steel. The thinness of the steel also helps the face flex and saves weight, which is redistributed around the head for forgiveness.
New OptiFit Hosel
By including Jailbreak technology in the Big Bertha 2019 hybrid, Callaway needed to redesign the OptiFit hosel. As a brief refresher, the hosel adjusts loft, lie and face angle by simply lining up the letters and numbers cogs to the desired setting. Lost adjustability ranges a total of 3 degrees, -1, +1, and +2 degrees with draw and fade settings.
The new design is shorter and lighter, moving more weight low and back in the club head for easy launch and high MOI.
Progressive Shaping
The shape of the Big Bertha 2019 hybrids progresses as the stock loft changes. The lowest lofted hybrid (3H) will be the largest, most forgiving. As loft increases, the heads get slightly smaller with less offset, seamlessly bridging the gap to the irons.
