1. The delta on the Drag is probably not measurable.
2. Weight is limited by USGA/R&A specs -- I'm pretty sure. That's why the golf manufacturers are so busy finding ways to move weight around.
3. 3 wood is used off the fairway as well as off the t-box so you need a shallower face.
4. Trampoline effect is technically called the Coefficient of Restitution or COR which is limited by spec by USGA and R&A will go into effect in a couple of years. There are many non-conforming
clubs though! Make sure your buddies are playing by the rules!
