In the super game-improvement iron category, there are stark differences between iron performances. The largest difference is most apparent when it comes to distance. Callaway Big Bertha 23' is one of the longest irons in this iron category. It ranks 2nd overall for distance. In a 7-iron specifically, it was 9.72 yards longer than the shortest competitor. If distance is your number one goal, Callaway Big Bertha 23' is one worth checking out.
► You want distance: The super game-improvement iron category should make golfing easier, especially for slower swing speed golfers. Most golfers prioritize distance over accuracy and if that is you, Big Bertha 23′ is an iron that will live up to the distance expectation. It is the 2nd longest iron in this year’s super game-improvement iron test. If you do check these out, be aware of your launch conditions. These irons are hot and if you do have a slower swing speed, you might not be able to achieve optimum launch conditions. We encourage you to go through a professional fitting for these irons to dial them in to your game.
► You are influenced by peer reviews: Subjectively, our testing pool rates the Callaway Big Bertha 23′ irons highly. For subjective feedback, we collect input from our testers for sound, feel, looks, and likelihood of purchase. Big Bertha 23′ is towards the top of the list for each of these criterions. However, these results do not impact our overall results.
✖︎ You prioritize accuracy and forgiveness: Yes, Big Bertha 23′ is one of the longest irons in the super game-improvement iron category. However, it is among the worst irons for accuracy and forgiveness. Traditionally, this is what we see in irons that are excessively longer than their competitors. Accuracy and consistency are sacrificed for ultimate distance. You have to decide which scoring category is most important to you and your game.

Accuracy Accuracy evaluates if a player’s shots with each club are above or below what’s expected based on that player’s skill level. By eliminating variables in player ability, accuracy determines how well the club improves a player’s overall score.
