The Big Bertha Steelhead III 3-Wood is a fairway-wood model from Callaway’s Steelhead family, designed for good launch, forgiveness and ease of use. The “III” version builds on earlier Steelhead models with Variable Face Thickness and a low/centered CG to help with ball flight and turf interaction.
If you find one with a graphite shaft in Firm flex, that’s likely either a custom-shaft version or a variant made for a specific market. Original listings often show steel shafts or unspecified graphite.
