Ordered this 3-wood to replace my 15-year old relic. After trying about fifteen different clubs at a local pro shop I decided on the Callaway. The pro shop had it for sale at 5. Got this item on Amazon for 9 with free shipping!
I received the item in a timely manner and the item was well-packaged and as advertised.
I have been using this club for approximately one month now and must say it is a keeper! The weight is perfect for my swing speed (approx. 94 mph) and I get consistent ball flight, even on miss-hits. The look at address and the sound at impact are confidence builders and I consistently am getting 220 yards on fairway lies.

Callaway's Cutting-Edge Technologies
The Big Bertha Diablo's most notable innovation is the uniquely shaped all-stainless-steel clubhead, which allowed Callaway engineers to play with different weight locations when designing the club. The flexibility resulted in an optimal center of gravity (CG) for both the "draw" and "neutral" options, along with a higher moment of inertia (MOI). There's no better wood for golfers who want to overcome their natural swing flaws and hit the ball straight down the fairway. The design--dubbed Edge Technology--also helps close the clubface at impact so golfers can better release the club with power.
The Big Bertha Diablo also employs a couple of other classic Callaway designs: Variable Face Thickness (VFT) and S2H2. With VFT, Callaway built varying levels of face thickness into the club, resulting in an optimum ball speed from all areas of the clubface. Even if you don't hit the ball dead center, it's still possible to hit a monster drive. The S2H2 design, meanwhile, increases the club's discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead. Not only does this help with distance, but it also improves the feel and stability of the club. Add the features together and you have a club that's sure to please everyone from beginners to low handicappers.

I've been eyeing these for years, and finally got one. OK, so with my 18 handicap, I still have trouble with consistency on the driver, but the fades are less extreme, and I'm actually hitting a slight draw now. Even when I mis-hit, I seem to be in less trouble. great driver!

For the price, this is a nice little set. My stepson was upset that it didn't have a driver. But, after going to a lesson at the local golf course, he learned that most starter sets don't have drivers. I also heard them tell the kids that they have to learn to hit irons first, and they discouraged kids from trying to hit the woods. So, aside from not having a driver in the set, I would say this is a great deal for the money. Especially if you want your child to learn the right way to play golf and not how to just take the biggest club and whack at the balls.
