the idea is – the bigger the trampoline the more the effect

Thanks Mike for the very informative reply

Hello Does the cc of a driver/metal wood make a difference to the distance a ball can be hit, for eg i have seen 200 cc, 300 cc, 420 cc and even a 520 cc
No.

Cecil, it doesn’t matter. If you hit a ball on the sweetspot, it doesn’t matter how wide the face of the driver is. What makes larger cc drivers popular is two things, primarily: One is the confidence it gives people when they see the large face, and the other is that large heads can provide better corrective "gear effect" on hits that aren’t on the face. They’re more forgiving, in other words. There’s a reason drivers and fairway woods have curved faces as opposed to the flat faces you see on irons. Because the center of gravity of the head is back a ways from the face in a driver/wood, mishits off center cause the head to turn, imparting opposite spin than you would expect. Suppose you hit the ball off the toe of the club–the club’s center of gravity will bring the center of the clubhead forward, imparting less sidespin on the ball. So a ball hit off the toe will have less slice spin than otherwise. That curve on the face is called bulge and roll (there’s a curve side-to-side, and one up-and-down). Bigger driver heads have the center of gravity further back from the face, which facilitates this gear effect. It’s part of the reason such heads are described as more forgiving. Now, what *can* allow a driver with a bigger head to provide more distance is lengthening the shaft. Larger heads have larger margins for error; the longer a shaft, the more that small errors at the hands are magnified at the business end of a club. Larger heads can mitigate this, which means people can get more distance from larged headed clubs *if* they also lengthen the shaft. But two clubs with the same shaft, same length, different head size? No difference–in fact, it may be that wind resistance takes a bit off the larger-headed driver compared to the smaller one, resulting in a slightly lower swingspeed.
