Great Big Bertha II Driver Relative Loft Map
These bars compare the listed factory lofts relative to each other inside this model. They are not measured launch-monitor outputs. The goal is to show the practical starting-point difference between the lower and higher heads.
Great Big Bertha II Driver Launch, Spin & Trajectory Snapshot
These color bars show the relative tendencies within this model. Loft usually moves launch the most, trajectory close behind, and spin more conservatively because actual spin also depends heavily on head design, CG and strike.

How to use it: use the lower-loft heads if you want a flatter, stronger starting point. Move higher if you need easier launch, with trajectory usually moving along with loft and spin shown a bit more conservatively.
Loft Spread
The listed factory choices cover 4°, from 8° to 12°.
Choice Spacing
Every adjacent factory loft is spaced by 1°.
8° vs 12°
The 12° head has 4° more static loft than the 8° head. That is the cleanest factory-head comparison before fitting the rest of the setup.
Great Big Bertha II vs Other Callaway Driver Lofts
This comparison uses each model’s lowest listed factory loft, so the numbers are being compared on the same basis.
| Model | Reference | Loft | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Big Bertha II | 8° head | 8° | This model |
| Big Bertha Titanium 454 | 8° head | 8° | Same lowest loft |
| Big Bertha War Bird | 8° head | 8° | Same lowest loft |
| Great Big Bertha Hawk Eye | 8° head | 8° | Same lowest loft |
| Big Bertha Fusion FT-3 | 8° head | 8° | Same lowest loft |
How Each Great Big Bertha II Driver Loft Changes the Starting Point
| Club | Loft | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 8° head | 8° | This is the lowest-loft factory head and the lower-launch starting point within this model’s listed range. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
| 9° head | 9° | This sits between the lowest and highest factory heads and provides a middle launch starting point. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
| 10° head | 10° | This sits between the lowest and highest factory heads and provides a middle launch starting point. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
| 11° head | 11° | This sits between the lowest and highest factory heads and provides a middle launch starting point. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
| 12° head | 12° | This is the highest-loft factory head and the higher-launch starting point within this model’s listed range. Actual ball flight still depends heavily on delivered loft and strike. |
Static loft is only the starting point. Delivered loft and strike location can still change launch and spin substantially, even when two golfers use the same fixed-hosel head.
