    I hit the metal shaft ("Memphis 10") version, and even for a lousy
    fairway wood player like me, it was like stealing! Super easy to
    hit,and, IMO, nearly everyone should have one. I don't own any other
    Callaway clubs - tried 'em - didn't like 'em...

    "Memphis 10"?  Is that a clone?   My fairway woods are usually a strong
    part of my game, my long irons are not.  This sounds like an
    interesting club for those difficult in-between shots for me.  Can you
    give me more info.  (Interesting, I don't care for Callaway clubs
    either.)

    I recently bought the Big Berth , it took me a while to
    get used to it, it hits the ball higher than other drivers
    10 degree loft.
    
    I must say its a very easy club to use, the head is very much like
    the Ping clubs.
    It can also be used off the fairway unlike normal drivers it has not
    got a flat sole, you can grip down the shaft and it saves carrying
    a 3 wood.
    
    Its a club that takes some getting used too but i think it will
    help most club golfers.

    The Memphis 10 shaft supposedly gets firmer the more clubhead speed you
    generate. I'm no physicist, and I don't understand how one shaft can
    accommodate a variety of speeds ("how do it know...), but then again,
    Ping only uses one shaft (Stiff). Normally a Dynamic S300 feels good to
    me, and the Memphis 10 feels good.

    After speaking to a couple of pro shops I've become sold on the Memphis
    10. The only problem now is being on a waiting list...

    Is the "heaven wood" the same as their 7 wood?  If not, what's the
    difference?
    
    
    

    The seven wood is the heavan wood, its just a sales name to
    get it known.
    
    
    It seems to work!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    Hit it high land it soft, thats what Johny Miller says so it must work.
    
    Do any Pros use the Heaven wood ?

    Seems like the Heaven wood has a slightly bigger head, and is longer
    than
    the regular 7 wood.

    	Info I have on the Heaven wood is that it has about a six wood
    	loft with the headweight for a four wood allowing a four wood length
    	shaft. Golfworks and Dynacraft make clone like copies.  The
    	Golfworks version is called the Breakout.  The Dynacraft version
    	is called the Machete.  Bottom design on all three targeted at
    	getting thru heavy cover. I have a Breakout in an Aldila..works fine.
        The aftermarkets can be assembled for about $50-$75 bucks depending
    	on your shaft choice.

    As Ricky Ricardo once said, "'Splain to me, Lucy..."  Maybe I'm a bit
    thick about the purpose of this club...  Would some kind soul mind
    explaining, again, what the uses are for this club.  Sounds like an
    all-purpose 7 wood to me...
    
    Thanks,

    I have looked at the heaven wood.  It is "real" similar to the Calloway
    7 wood except it has the 4 wood shaft.  I have the 7 wood.  Like it a
    lot.  the Macheti from Dynacraft is not a clone of the heavenwood.  I
    have built several of them for folks and it is more like the Raylor
    from Taylor.
    
    I think the reason for the longer shaft is to get the additional club
    head speed for the extra 10 - 15 yards with the heavenwood.

    How high does a heaven wood fly, higher than a Sand Wedge ?

    
    The Heaven Wood head is exactly the same as 7-Wood, the only difference
    is the shalf is an inch longer - for longer distance (by theory).
    
    I have 7-wood and love it.

	Here's $50, I can be in next Tuesday.

    
    	I have tried the Callaway 7 wood and the Heaven wood.  From my
    	expierience the 7 wood trajectory was a bit higher than the 
    	Heaven wood, but the Heaven wood seemed to have a lower kickoint
    	shaft.  I also found that it was easier to choke down and
    	make the Heaven wood act like a shorter club. Both Callaway shafts 
    	were metal....not sure what type, was just told both were regular
    	flex. 
    
    	I decided to go with a Dynacraft Callaway like clone for the
    	and to put in a lightweight low kickpoint graphite shaft.  For
    	my game style this club replaces the 2, 3, & 4 iron making my
    	bag carry much lighter.

    I bought a new set of irons this year (3-SW) and decided to pick up a
    Heaven wood (metal) instead of carrying around a 2 iron that I used to
    hit once or twice a round.
    
    Anyway, I optioned for the new Callaway Big Bertha Heaven (7), with the
    War Bird sole plate.  (Honest, the club is marked both Heaven and 7) I
    don't think there is much difference in this club since last year,
    except it may be a bit shorter.  Now, there's a 7-wood, Heaven wood,
    and Heaven 7 War Bird to add to the confusion.
    
    I decided to try a graphite-boron regular shaft (mid-kick point),
    although all my other woods are steel stiff shaft.  (Nevada Bob's
    offered a full return on the club if I wasn't happy, so what the heck.)
    Ok, it was bit pricey, too, but I was in the mood to treat myself that
    day.
    
    I must admit, the club is very easy to hit.  Nevada Bob's told me that
    the loft was comparable to a 5 wood, which I can believe since I can
    hit the Heaven over 200 yrds with a full swing.  I was concerned over
    the shaft stiffness since I have a pretty fast swing, but it seems to
    feel much smoother and more fluid than the stiff steel.  I played three
    rounds with the Heaven wood and it has quickly become of my favorite
    clubs.  I pushed it a couple of times, and over shot a few greens
    getting used to the distance, but it is just plain fun to hit.
    
    So, now I have no use for my old 5 wood... and I'm thinking about
    packing in my 1-3-5 Boom Boom's for a Big Bertha 3 wood War Bird.
