Okay in the world of drivers.

I currently have a Callaway C4 driver while it looks cool and gets the job most of the time. I am interested in something new. I used to hit this club almost 285-300 yards consistently but now that I am 5 years older and fatter my club head speed has slowed down I assume. (I no longer spend 2 hours in a gym, career & family have hindered time) I generally hit it around 240-260 yards now.

When I mishit the driver, 90% of the time it is off the toe so would a larger driver help that? The C4 is a 360cc head and I see new 400cc and 460cc heads. How much bigger is a 460 vs 360. I tried looking up a conversion table but nothing seemed to pan out.

I know this is a jumbled mess of a post but if you can make sense of it please let me know your thoughts.

Hey soda,
Less important than what the size is, why don't you go out and hit a few drivers at your local Golf store? Golf Galaxy is one place where they will let you try out several clubs. Some hit the 460cc better, some don't. When I recently compared the 400cc TM R9 to the 460cc TM R9, I hit the 460cc better and more consistently. Was it the bigger head, the bigger sweet spot? Maybe. But I picked it becuase it just felt the best and performed the best. Good luck.
