Advantages: Very long and very easy to use Disadvantages: Price
...recently upgraded to the new Callaway Great Big Bertha II. I changed from using a Callaway Steelhead I, a club I was very reluctant to move away from.
I made the switch as I seemed to be losing distance compared to my playing partners, most of whom now have titanium drivers.
The spec I chose was a firm graphite shaft with 10 degrees of loft. I opted not to go for the Pro-series version (as my handicap is 12) as this is not as forgiving.
There ... ...the +Plus version. The latter is the one I have but does not conform to USGA rules. living in the UK, this isn't a problem.

Advantages: Cured my slice, long and straight Disadvantages: none

So i tried a Big Bertha 2, my slice soon went, and i found i had much more distance and my confidence grew, last year i cut 6 strokes from my handicap, and i do believe the Great Big Bertha helped me. There are lots of ...
