That's what I'm saying Hacker, they just look way to big !!!

and regarding the alleged smaller "sweet spot" on the older, smaller heads, It is an advantage. If you missed the sweet spot, you "whiffed it". The answer....just don't "whiff" it.

The sweet spot doesn't have a size, it's a point in space, it is infinitely small. When manufacturers spout nonsense about larger sweetspots what they are really saying is they have designed the club in a way that mitigates the damage of missing the sweet spot, but the "size" of it hasn't changed, it can't change, it's a point in geometrical space. It's like saying you have increased the size of 5' to the left. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

It depends on the driver. 460 cc is a measure of volume. You can get that number in many different configurations of club face height, club head depth, and width. 

Ping likes to stretch their drivers front to back to get that low and back CG. Callaway thends to have taller driver face and a shorter front to back profile.

If your don't like 460 cc drivers a few companies will make 440 or 430 cc drivers from time to time.

Titleist in particular offers a 440cc head in the D3 version of their driver.
