CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 2004--Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) today debuted its new
Big Bertha(R) Titanium 454 Driver -- at 454 cubic centimeters, the largest driver the Company has ever brought to
market. This newest generation from the Big Bertha line brings more forgiveness, more confidence and more distance
in a product true to Callaway Golf's Big Bertha maxim -- "when properly engineered, Bigger is Better."
Subtle curves designed into the Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver give the clubhead a surprisingly compact look at
address, inspiring confidence that is reinforced time and again by the driver's consistently powerful performance. The
Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver's high Moment of Inertia combines with its ultra-thin, refined titanium face to create a
huge effective hitting area on the hottest face of any conforming Big Bertha Driver ever made. The satisfying results --
increased distance and accuracy -- are what every golfer seeks, regardless of skill level. The Big Bertha Titanium 454
Driver is designed to reach the maximum allowable level for springlike effect as measured by the USGA's new
characteristic time (CT) test, and conforms to all USGA Rules.
Prior to its release to the public, the Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver already had established a reputation as the world's
longest driver. In the Open Division of the RE/MAX(R) World Long Drive Championship in Mesquite, NV, (which will be
televised on ESPN on Christmas Day at 3:00 p.m. EST), David Mobley put the Big Bertha Titanium 454 into play and
crushed a winning drive of 377 yards, successfully ending his 15-year quest for the world's longest driver crown with a
victory over a strong field of 128 long-drive bombers.
"Since the beginning, the best drivers from Callaway Golf have combined distance and forgiveness," said Bill Baker,
Chairman and CEO. "The Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver is the latest and best in both those respects. When we
measure this club against the original standards set by our Founder, I can say without fear of contradiction that the Big
Bertha Titanium 454 Driver is Demonstrably Superior and Pleasingly Different."
The new Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver also incorporates the patented core technologies that have made Callaway
Golf the leader in woods technology for more than a decade. An integral element of S2H2(R) (Short Straight Hollow
Hosel), a staple of Callaway Golf woods for more than 15 years, is Tru-Bore(R) Technology, which extends the shaft
tip completely through the club head to the sole for greater feel and superior control.
The Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver is available right handed in 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, and 13-degree lofts, as well as a High
Trajectory (15 degrees) loft. Left handed availability is 9-, 10-, and 11-degree lofts. The standard shaft is the RCH 65w
and comes in light, regular, firm and strong flexes as well as a Gems 55w ladies flex. The Big Bertha Titanium 454
Driver has a striking new appearance with a charcoal-black head and fiery red shaft.
Review: "The Callaway Big Bertha Driver is the largest headed driver Callaway have done so far and it certainly gives you lots of confidence at address.The design of the head is very clean and we think it looks great. It plays great too and gives a long penetrating flight from across the face.
Callaway always focus heavily on how a club sounds and feels and this one scores highly in both areas. There is a good selection of shafts with many of the top makes of shaft available at no extra charge. As always we would recommend a custom fitting session to get the right shaft for your swing.
Given that the Callaway Big Bertha Titanium 454 Driver has reached the limits of size and COR then it should be a good investment for years to come and for once Callaway have priced this at a sensible level so we think this is a great deal."

Review: "I bought these with golf store gift certificates. It took awhile to get used to them (hook), but they immediately added about 20 yards over the corresponding irons I had. When my aim was good, the 4h goes about 200 yards. After a year of tinkering with my swing in general, these have become a much more reliable club for me. In short, good swing mechanics are necessary to hit these well. Some forgiveness, but not as forgiving as others."
