Callaway GBB Epic Fairway Wood
GBB Epic Fairway Wood
Epic Distance for Every Player
Like the new Epic drivers, GBB Epic fairway woods incorporate revolutionary and proprietary Triaxial Carbon composite material to enhance forgiveness, power and accuracy in a huge way. GBB Epic fairway woods are targeted at any golfer seeking an extraordinarily long, accurate and easy-to-launch fairway wood.
Maximum Forgiveness from an Ultra-light Triaxial Carbon Crown
Weight saved by the ultra-light triaxial carbon crown is repositioned to increase MOI and lower the CG for easy launch and added power.
Faster Ball Speed from 4th Generation Face Cup Technology
The latest generation of our Hyper Speed Face Cup is more efficient at delivering fast ball speed across the face, especially on mis-hits, for increased average distance.
Fast Head Speed from Speed Step Technology
Developed with direct input from aerospace experts to improve aerodynamics for fast swing speed and distance without extra effort.
Wide Loft Selection Including 3+ and Heavenwood
Six models -- 3+, 3, 5, 7, 9, Heavenwood -- gives golfers multiple opportunities to put Epic performance in their bag.

The Takeaway
Callaway developed the Great Big Bertha Epic fairway woods with the new ultra-light Triaxial Crown. 78% lighter than steel, the weight savings is repositioned to strategic internal locations to increase MOI, lower the CG and achieve maximum forgiveness. The easy launch conditions and added power are assisted by the 4th generation Face Cup Technology, delivering faster ball speeds across the face (especially on mishits)
Who's It For?
With loft options from a 3+ (strong 3-wood) to Callaway’s famous Heavenwood, Epic fairway woods are for all players. Plus to 36 handicaps
Final Take
The Great Big Bertha fairway woods have the same stunning jet black, exposed carbon appearance with subtle green highlights as the Epic drivers. The sound has a bit higher pitch compared to the Epic driver, but it isn’t too loud.
A slightly shallower head promotes easy launch conditions off the tee, off the deck and out of the rough. The ball flight was a touch on the lower side for a 15-degree head, but still very flat. Combine the Epic fairway woods with the Epic driver for an excellent and forgiving set of woods.
