1994 Callaway Big Bertha Irons - The Vintage Golfer 

My grandfather gave me his set of these irons years ago when he upgraded and now that he has passed I still treasure the sand wedge from the set. I had his biggest big Bertha driver but when I was playing with it long ago the head broke off and went flying when hitting a drive.

I was trying to identify the year of my wife's lost Callaway Big Bertha 7 iron so that I could try to find a correct match. Your pointing out that in 1994 the club had the number on the toe was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Made my only hole in one, 5 iron at 185 yards, with these in 1995.

I just found a 94 BB 9 iron for 3 bucks in a thriftstore ... can't wait to try it out on the range

I've had these in my collection for 2 years. I used them for the first time this week and I loved them. I also agree with your assessment of the the PE2's. They are incredible.

These would be in my top 5 irons of all time. SO forgiving, workable, feel good, durable. Also played on tour by some notable players in their prime.

I used these for quite a few years . Very easy to hit .

I still play the X-12's from the late 90's, with TT Lite shafts. Good as anything else for me. Also had the Tungsten Titanium versions of the GBB at one point. All were/are numb feeling but truly are great game improvement clubs. Also, you are correct about Rhode Island - we are still here and not encased in stainless steel!

I just got these used at a fabulous price. Mine came with graphite Calloway shafts. 3-9,S,P

One of my many sets is the Big Bertha Gold😎

Still playing a set today I got from one of Billy Casper’s sons in about 1998. Except for the 5 iron that has to go back in the early ‘00s to have the medallion replaced, they are bulletproof. But they are HUGE. Weren’t they the first with the extreme perimeter weighting, hence that top line?

Great irons. I had the 94s in high school golf and just bought my wife a basically brand new set of the womens 96’ irons for $150 3-pw with steel shafts.

my dad has a ton of club sets and i "borrowed" this from him and have been playing with them for the last few years, finally i decided to look up what I'm playing with and was shocked that these are almost 30years old! I feel comfortable with them, and feel the big, thick & heavy face makes it go a little farther (when i do hit it well). I feel I should invest in a new set, but I'm worried about smaller, less forgiving clubs.

You should get a hold of a Founders Club Fresh Metal driver and the accompanying irons. The irons were every bit as good as my Ping Eye 2s but without the severe offset. The FC driver had better feel than my TayorMade Burner of the era.

Ping Zing II irons for my 90's bag, or titleist DCI blacks, as solid as they get. The gold version of these or X12 pro series which were hot could easily find my bag. Have the big bertha gold 2 iron still, loads of fun to hit. Never ever the silly looking Cleveland VAS, even if they work. Almost forgot, Cobra king cobra oversize tour irons, actually what I used for awhile back then, a full set 1 thru lob wedge. Excellent lob wedge.

I still using this iron 💪🏻

Love these chunky dudes! Esp the golds

I have a full set and still play with them to this day.

I still play my big Bertha irons. No need to change.

It was popular enough for there to be some fakes to be made of haha

I've got the 1996 as well as Karsten III Eye Eye 2 Steel and Eye 2 BeCu. Not sure I can agree with you about Zings, although I do like the woods. If pushed I'd have to say it came down to the Eyes or the Eye 2 BeCu. Predictable - but I was there in the 80s in London with all of the above and the odd Porsche and Aston Martin.

I picked this one up at play again for 25 a pop where every 2nd one is 50% off

The BB woods are in my 90’s bag not this irons. It’s a toss up Ping Zing or Tommy Armour. I think Ping 2 I think 1980’s.

I didn’t like the plastic insert. That’s the only reason I bought the 845s in the 90s.

Those ubiquitous plastic labels of the 90s. So gaudy.

Still have mine hahahah

I was handed down these clubs and have usee them nesrly my entire golf life

My father in law has these clubs with graphite shafts. I can’t hit these, and I hate them.

I have a complete big bertha iron set 2-9 with all wedges sans attack wedge. They are absolute trash. I hate them with every fiber of my being. The day I got rid of them my score improved by 10, I am now 15 off in 3 rounds. I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. I want to sell them to buy a new 3 hybrid but I also want to melt them down and bury the scrap so they can't hurt anyone any more. I bought them for 50 dollars a decade ago when I was 12 years old and that was what it took for these clubs to be usable. I would rather kick the ball for 18 holes than ever have to use these clubs again. I would file a police report against these clubs if I could. They are criminal.
