Big Head, More Confidence?

Hi all!

Well, when you read reviews about golfclubs i.e drivers it will say somewere this has a 460cc head, this will make you more confident when your at addres, is this true? or is it personal prefence? and even with putters, like the ping doc, i dont mind big heads but i think there alittle of-putting at addres, what do you think?

This is something that is definitely personal preference. I much prefer the smaller profiles in all my clubs - wods, irons and putter. Others like everything as large as they can get legally get them - it might be a psychological thing - they might be thinking the club is so big that they can't miss the ball!!!

Well, i do hear that alot, " that head is so big you cant miss the ball " i think they can be very offputting!

Well, i havent got to use it yet :P im just saying tho, it can get a lil bit anoyin and cant wait till tomorrow as i wanna ply so badly, and i got a few things to do as well.

I've got 14 drivers right now just to test this out. (Yes, 14).

Everything from a no-name 291cc Unix head to a Dunlop 460cc head... in a multitude of shafts.

I daresay confidence comes from knowing you can hit the club (and once the snow clears, I'll find out which club that is!)

Wow. why did you want to get 14 drivers? or was it just purley for a test?

Actually, I won a lot of 10 drivers on eBay (small headed drivers, but some quality shafts), picked up 2 drivers at a discount superstore, and bought a SMT Spectrum with an Accuflex Evolution shaft. My original driver makes 14.

The 'bungalow on the end of a stick' thing doesnt really affect me either way, I used to like the more 'classic' profile, especially in the Driver. I used to use a Titleist 976R (210cc!!!!) until I decided to switch to a 'Hot' faced driver last winter. I was initially wary that i would find the head size unwieldy and distracting but fortunately I didnt seem to notice so I went to the Callaway ERC II (335cc) then onto a Great Big Bertha II+ (380cc) then a Titlest 975 L-FE (350cc) and finally a Mizuno MP-001 (400cc).

I changed driver frequently last season because I had actually found the perfect driver in the ERCII but it broke and Callaway sent me the GBB II as a replacement which I played with for a few months but never really got to grips with it. Then I tried the L-FE but found It gave me too high a launch angle so settled on the MP-001.

I am getting a Snake Eyes driver soon that is a massive 430cc so I have well and truly left my preconceptions about the big headed drivers well behind. However I still prefer a smaller headed iron and absolutely cannot use a large headed putter. Maybe in time.....lol

D.

Well, i have now got my cobra sz unlimted and thats 440cc and i thought that big heads will be bad, but it is really forgiving and does give you more confidence since i used it today.

I currently have 9 drivers, but that number fluctuates . I buy and sell equipment, so I always have a good variety of equipment kicking around.

Lol. i know some with alot of drivers, but there all like r7 tp's, and tour 983k's, but the driver he uses he said was a tourstage janpense tour driver? i really dont have a clue about it.
