The old saying is that money can't buy you love, maybe true, but whereas golf is concerned, money can buy you a whole lot of fun and an extra 30 yards if you want to splash out on a new ERC Driver form Callaway Golf. And the price of a bit of fun…£499, if you can get hold of one!
Nov 22, 2016 On this page you’ll find our detailed Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Driver Review, the pros and cons, and an overall assessment of the driver. If you already own the Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Driver please leave your review in the customer review box at the end of this article. Callaway, and, more specifically Big Bertha, were one of the pioneers of the seismic changes in drivers in the. Callaway drivers have been systematically engineered by the best research and development team in the industry. When you carry a Callaway golf driver in your bag you can step on the first tee with the confidence that your equipment will perform at a very high level. The 11- and 12-degree ERC Fusion Drivers have more weight positioned in the heel and have a slightly closed face angle to help higher-handicap players square the clubface at impact and reduce slice-creating sidespin. ERC Fusion Fairway Woods are an entirely new concept in fairway wood technology with multi-material construction for performance that no single-material fairway woods can match. Ground breaking Fusion Technology delivers more stability, accuracy and distance than ever before.
With an overload of rhetoric, bans and lawsuits around the world about the new ERC driver from Callaway Golf, it has certainly caused a stir among the higher echelons of world golf, prompting a ban from the USGA.
Fusion Technology is enhanced by Callaway Golf's patented VFT, S2H2, and Tru-Bore technologies to create performance no single-material fairway woods can match. ERC Fusion Fairway Woods is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 17. Drivers; Pre-Owned Callaway Golf ERC Fusion Driver *Very Good*. With your Pre-Owned Callaway Golf ERC Fusion Driver *Very Good*. That it was a 25 degree hybrid. Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Driver - With a forgiving shape, a low and deep Center of Gravity, draw bias, an enhanced sweet spot area, high clubhead speed and multiple shaft lengths, the Big Bertha Fusion Driver pushes the boundaries of forgiveness like no Callaway club ever has.
Now, with that in mind, there is only one thing to do about it, get hold of one, test it, and let YOU, the GOLFmagic members, know what it is really like to play with and if it is worth a ban, and £499.
GOLFmagic are the first Internet site to bring you a full detailed report of the test of the new ERC driver.
First impressions were that it would be hard not to hit a good drive as it is so huge with a 300cc head, finished neatly in a deep black metallic lacquer finish that it frames the ball well at address. When you do get round to hitting it, it's awesome! AND…most importantly… longer than any driver I have hit so far by about 30 yards.
And for once, Callaway have got it right with the grip. The new leather simulated 'Winn' grip is soft, tacky and leaves you in no doubt about the quality of this club. And it is Quality with a capital Q!
The ultra lightweight shaft adds to the swing-weight for even more distance and with two internal weight chips precisely positioned in the clubhead, it lowers the centre of gravity to aid in a strong, powerful ball flight with less backspin for greater distance.
The first drive I hit with the ERC left me in no doubt about how much I had missed 30 yards off the tee. I played at The Berkshire Trophy and on the third hole, I hit a six iron for my second shot into a par five, not normal for me, I would usually hit a 2 or three iron into that hole. The pattern continued around the tight Heathland course and the driver proved to be accurate, forgiving and bloody long!
It continued on the range where I tested it head to head against the standard 9 degree Hawk Eye driver. The ERC won hands down for distance, workability and overall quality. And the Hawk Eye is not a bad club either, which goes to show what I think of the ERC. Awesome.
And to let other people tell you about the ERC, we gave it to a few other golfers of varying handicaps to try out too.
Ken Wesley, a Senior golfer has always had Callaway clubs and swears by them. He liked the ERC, but will stick with his Hawk Eye for the time being.
'My first impressions were that it was tempting and I must try it out. It sits well, slightly off set, which should promote a draw for me. But all I could do was fade it. Said Ken.
'I thought it was an unattractive sound, almost like ceramic, but distance wise, it is definitely longer than my Hawk Eye. It would look good in my bag, but is 20 yards worth another £200?'
Darren Hodgson is a PGA Professional and an expert club-maker, having made clubs for Retief Goosen, Ernie Els and some other European Tour players. Hodgson thinks the club is one of the best he has ever seen.
'I was very impressed with it. It added about 25 yards to my driving distance and it had a very good flight. It looks good, feels good and overall it is very impressive. It is a bit steep at £500, but I would buy one, it's totally worth it'.
Simon Perks is the Assistant Professional at Wycombe Heights Golf Club and when he got his hands on the ERC, he behaved like a kid with a new toy!
'Comparing it to my normal Hawk Eye Pro Series Driver, the ERC is way longer off the tee. I would use one with the right shaft and loft options as the 10-degree model went too high for me… long… but high.
'I didn't like the headcover, but that does not hit the ball and it felt much different to the normal Titanium drivers, with a softer, more 'springy' feel'.So is it worth £500 sheets and a ban? I am not too sure about a ban as it brings an awful lot of fun back into the game…but for that…there is a price which I feel is a bit steep at present for the British market!

And now for the Science bit!
ERC stands for Ely Reeves Callaway, founder of the Company
Titanium Forging provides a high strength variable thickness face that is very thin, very durable and very HOT.
Ball velocity off the face is maximised for greater distance off the tee.
Face depth has been increased relative to its width for more efficient energy transfer to the ball. This is called optimising the aspect ratio and makes the face hotter still!
The face size has been increased 10% over the Hawk Eye drivers for more forgiveness and confidence at address.
Two weight chips inside the clubhead precisely locate the centre of gravity to generate a higher launch angle and less backspin for great potential distance.

The face, crown, sole and internal hosel components are formed seperately and welded together. This allows the most appropriate materials and processes to be used for each head component.
The forged materials are stronger than cast Titanium allowing for wall thickness reduction in key areas.
The weight removed from theses areas has been repositioned to enhance performance.

Using a separate internal hosel piece that is not attached to the face, allows more mass to be moved away from the face and creates a larger effective hitting area.

The face stays thin in the critical heel area for more forgiveness and greater initial ball velocity.
The 300cc head has a deep face and high moment of inertia for greater forgiveness.
A deep metallic black finish and polished face create a powerful look while the new scoreline pattern frames the ball for increased confidence at address.
Rich textured leather like Winn grips provide the ultimate in performance, looks and feel.
The Ultra light shafts help golfers generate more clubhead speed. With a larger tip diameter and increased torsional stiffness provide more stability through impact.
I was at the local golf store at lunch and found a brand new Callaway ERC Hot 10 degree driver still in the original plastic. It's got the self adhesive sticker still on the face with both Japanese and English writing. It reads 'Non-Conforming to USGA rules' but it also states that it is conforming to R&A rules. Then it has some Japanese lettering. The grip still has the plastic on it. I tried hitting it in the simulator and it's the loudest driver I've ever tried. It's 10 degree so a little too high lofted for me. I had never heard of it before but I just read about it and I guess it's 460 cc and it exceeds the COR limits of the USGA. It's the Japanese version of the FT-3 Fusion. It was listed at $49 but I talked the guy into letting it go for $29. I'm pretty sure I can sell if for over $125 and maybe even more because it's new. I put a few ball marks on the sticker, though. Naturally right in the middle.
I tried posting a photo so let me know if you can see it.
Anyone ever try one of these illegal drivers? I have a feeling it's no longer than anything else.
I think the same person must have brought in another new club: Callaway GBB II 11.5 driver with senior shaft (brand new club).
