Callaway Golf has added two new models, the 6H and 7H, to its line of Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrids. The 6H (29 degrees) and 7H (32 degrees) will be available in golf shops nationwide beginning Nov. 1 The new Heavenwood Hybrid 6H and 7H clubs feature a low-profile design that creates an extremely low center of gravity and patented Callaway Golf technologies, company officials said. The original Heavenwood Hybrids were designed and created for golfers who struggled to hit long irons and wanted an alternative to the highly lofted fairway woods that traditionally have replaced them. The new 6H and 7H models are for golfers looking to replace their mid-irons. All Heavenwood Hybrids, from 1H through 7H, have lofts meant to correspond to the irons they replace. The same design that lowers the center of gravity to make it easier to get the ball airborne also promotes clean contact with the ball in various turf conditions ranging from tight lies to deep rough, officials said. The extended heel-to-toe head shape features maximized perimeter weighting, which raises the moment of inertia (MOI) for increased stability and more resistance to twisting on off-center shots. The modified War Bird sole is designed to help the club head glide over or through any surface with minimal resistance, officials said. The lengths of the Heavenwood Hybrids have been optimized to be longer than corresponding irons yet shorter than comparable fairway woods to help improve distance while maximizing playability, control and accuracy.
