  First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Big Bertha
Although the name was commonly applied to a whole variety of large-calibre German artillery guns the "Big Bertha" ('Dicke Berta') actually referred to a single siege gun, at that time the world's largest and most powerful.
Produced by the German firm of Krupp the Big Bertha was a 42cm howitzer, model L/14 designed in the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 on behalf of the German Army.
Once the Verdun offensive was called off in failure (leading to the replacement of German Chief of Staff Erich von Falkenhayn who had initiated the battle) the Big Bertha guns were decommissioned, since Allied artillery developments had resulted in guns with a longer range.

  Callaway Big Bertha 454 Review | The Sand Trap
Though the Callaway Big Bertha 454 may have been used by David Mobley to drive a golf ball 377 yards to win the 2004 Re/MAX World Long Drive Championships, when I say "big" hitters I'm referring to the clubhead size and not the distance the ball travels.
The original Big Bertha driver, now about ten years old, was much bigger than the persimmon and steel drivers available from the competitors, and the 454 - though not the biggest - is certainly up there.
Big Berthas have long been famous for "playing high." If you liked a 9° driver by any other manufacturer you often had to move to an 8° or even a 7° Callaway driver produce shots with a similar trajectory.
