The Big Bertha Steelhead III 3-Wood is a fairway wood from Callaway’s Steelhead III family, designed with variable face thickness (VFT) and a low centre of gravity to boost launch and forgiveness.
While many stock versions came with steel or standard flex graphite shafts, a version with a graphite shaft in Extra Stiff flex is a custom-or aftermarket specification tailored for players with higher swing speeds who prefer a firmer, heavier shaft feel.
Key Features
-
Face & head tech: The club features VFT (Variable Face Thickness) which helps maintain ball-speed on off-centre hits.
-
Loft & geometry: For the 3-Wood version of the Steelhead III, the published loft is around 15° with a lie of ~56°.
-
Shaft material/flex: The version you asked for (Graphite shaft, Extra Stiff) is likely a custom build or re-shafted version—not standard.
-
Suitability: With the Extra Stiff graphite shaft, this club is aimed at stronger players who can load the shaft efficiently, want higher stability and potentially lower spin for more control.
-
Playability: As a 3-wood with competitive loft and good forgiveness, it serves well for tee shots or long fairway shots when you want fairway wood distance but better control than driver.
