What stands out about the Big Bertha Alpha 815 Fairway lie setup?
The supplied specification gives this model a Varies lie reference.
For this fairway wood, lie is mainly a strike, sole-contact and address-fit variable; face angle and face-to-path still dominate large directional misses.
At least one head in this family is listed as adjustable. Use only the documented Callaway hosel setting for that exact head; do not assume every loft in the family adjusts.

Dynamic hosel test for the Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 Fairway
Test only the head / loft that Callaway lists as adjustable.
Hit a repeatable group before moving the adapter.
Fixed lofts in the same family may not share the adjustable hosel.
Should the Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 Fairway be more upright or flatter?
Test more upright when…
- A documented upright setting improves centre contact
- Start line improves without hurting trajectory
Test flatter when…
- A documented flatter relationship improves centre contact
- Start line improves without hurting launch
Do not change lie just because…
- You have not tested stock first
- You are copying an adapter chart from another Callaway generation
Playing length reference
| Club / head | Length |
|---|---|
| 3W | 43.25 in |
| 5W | 42.75 in |
| 7W | 42.25 in |
Because these heads use different playing lengths, judge dynamic lie with the actual club being fit rather than applying one correction across the family.
Dynamic lie changes with delivery, shaft deflection, playing length and setup. If a Callaway wood or hybrid is adjustable, use only the documented hosel positions for that exact head. For irons, use a qualified club fitter before bending. Visit Callaway Golf.
