About the Callaway Big Bertha
The 1994 Big Bertha irons are the set that carried Callaway's metalwood success into the iron market, built around the S2H2 short, straight, hollow hosel that moved weight out of the neck and into the head. Lofts are traditional for the era with a 33 degree 7-iron and a 46.5 degree pitching wedge, and the lie ladder is strikingly upright by modern standards, reaching 65 degrees through the wedges. Callaway published a single standard length per club rather than separate steel and graphite figures. The catalogued range ran from a 1-iron to a lob wedge, though 3-PW was the normal retail set.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Callaway Big Bertha 7-iron?
The 1994 Callaway Big Bertha 7-iron is 33 degrees, with a 62.5 degree lie and a 37 inch standard length.
What is the pitching wedge loft on the 1994 Big Bertha?
The Big Bertha pitching wedge is 46.5 degrees, followed by a 50.8 degree approach wedge, a 55 degree sand wedge and a 60 degree lob wedge.
Why are the Big Bertha lie angles so upright?
The 1994 Big Bertha runs 65 degrees at the wedges and 62.5 degrees at the 7-iron, several degrees more upright than a modern set. That was normal for Callaway irons of the period and is worth checking before buying a used set.
Finding a used set
The Callaway Big Bertha is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- Callaway Demandware ProductSpecs feed (ProductSpecs-Get), the manufacturer-authored source behind the View Specs panel on callawaygolf.com and callawaygolfpreowned.com, product code irons-bb-94 (loft, lie and length for the full catalogued range)
- Archived callawaygolf.com Classic Clubs specification sheet for the Big Bertha irons, via the Internet Archive - loft, lie and length identical to the Callaway feed
- Confidence is held at medium because the Callaway-owned 1994 and 1996 tables are identical, so it cannot be established whether the ladder was genuinely unchanged or one record is reused for both years
- Offset was not published for this model in any Callaway source located, so the column is omitted rather than estimated
- Swing weight is published only as four unlabelled shaft sub-columns, so a steel-specific value could not be isolated and the column is omitted
