✖︎ 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.
