Jen,
I always like the smaller heads and would even think of playing any of
those large heads, but because I am in this business I get to try out
different designs. IMO, after awhile you don't even notice the large head
anymore. It doesn't take long to get use to it, especially when you start
hitting your drives about 40 yards further. :-).

Subject: ShopTalk: Big Driver Suggestions?
Hi all,
I just bought one of Tom W's 715CLC intro specials... not as big as some
but 375cc is huge to me. My previous drivers are 230cc and 260cc
respectively.
My first attempt at it I built it 44" with the free ZT shaft (stiff) and
it's horrible. No feel. I can hit it a fair bit (not much more than my
other drivers though) but I have no idea when I hit it if it was a good
hit or not -- little shaft feedback. I attempted to FLO it but don't
think I did it properly so pulled it and am going to redo it more
carefully. I bought a clearance shaft from Golfquip's closing sale (MFC
Blue Crush) and may try that in it instead anyway at a longer length. I
like the head, it has promise for sure if I can find the right shaft for
it. Funny, I love the ZT shafts in my irons and the specs on the wood
shafts were very consistent with the specs on the other wood shafts I
like. A lot of possibilities here for why I didn't like it - not FLO'd
right, could be too stiff, could be too heavy S/W... we'll see. Will try
things one at a time and see what sticks!
General question is - for anyone who has switched from "small" head to big
head, any tips to get used to it or differences in how you built your
driver? I went with 44" because I know that is a length that I know I can
keep accurate with my previous drivers. But, at that length the club
seems way too short because the head is so big (to me). I feel like it's
about 30" long!! Does it just take you a bit extra time to get used to
the big head??
Just curious, everyone's opinions will vary...
Jen
