I am using a 400cc head. It's a clone of Cleveland Launcher400. And no, I respectfully dont wish to turn this into a clone club debate or argument. But anyway, when I bought it, about 9 or 10 years ago is when the 460 heads were getting more popular but still were able to by 400's and in the 300's as well.

At the time, I wanted to get with the times but also wasn't use to or liking the look of the giants so I opted for what I felt was a happy medium in the 400. I hit it very well when my driving works on a given day. Hit it long and straight. When not driving well it is me and not the club.

Hopefully I will afford new clubs sometime this winter for next year and I still just cant seem to like the big bulky looks of the giant heads. Of course as time passed and most everyone now owns one, I have become use to seeing them and do not look as bad to me as they once did. But I still like looking at my bit of a smaller driver head especially vs some of the wierd shapes we are now seeing in additon to being very large.

I have nothing against them and once I swing more of them and figure which ones feels good to swing and looks good to me, I will eventually make a decision. I do understand the forgiveness is supose to be better. And the technology should be much improved vs my existing 10 year old driver

But I am curious if any of you out there are still using smaller heads like me or even smaller than that? And if so, why? And anyone also still feel a bit like me as far as still not yet quite liking the giant head? Just curious to hear some thoughts on this.

I hit a 440cc driver (Titleist 910D3)

I still really miss the smaller headed drivers of yesteryear. I pulled out my old steel-headed Titleist PT driver I played years ago and looked at it. It's smaller than a modern 5-wood! If you're going down the modern tech route, but want to retain the feel of a smaller driver, I'd urge you to check out the Cleveland Classic. It is huge, yes, but the deep face gives it a smaller top-down profile. The paint scheme is just fantastic to boot. It doesn't feel as ridiculously oversized as some other offerings out there, and it plays very nicely as well.

I am playing the Bridgestone J40 445 right now. Can't really tell a difference visually between it and a 460cc driver.

I have a J40 445 driver in the bag. Been using it pretty much all year.

I played the R9 for awhile. It's a nice driver, but I did miss more with it than some of the bigger/more forigiving drivers out there.

Great advice. I love that the driver with the largest face out there still looks compact at address. That was a great bit of design work.

I'm playing the R7 425 TP and I like it a lot better than the larger sized drivers that I have played with since I've been trying out new drivers.

I know it's all in my head, but I just feel like I'm swinging a huge mallet with some of the larger sized drivers.

last two years i've played the R11 and the Cleveland Classic 310 Tour...both 440cc heads. i honestly prefer them a lot more than the 460cc size and will continue to play that size head.

I think the Fit is slightly smaller than 460CC

I'm still playing an old Titleist 905T, it's 400cc. I really hit it well and so far have not found anything to take it's place. I did hit a Cleveland classic that has my interest peaked but have yet to pull the trigger.

[Lerpenoaneway]

I played a 400cc head for a few years (old BangOMatic). I do find the larger head more forgiving of bad misses, but that's relative. Bad shots are still in the trees, I can just find more of them now.
With both, I've hit balls 220y that would have been whiffs 25 years ago. Gotta love technology.

Yes thats a consideration

Yeah thats kinda how i feel too

Yeah the 430 version as well another consideration too

[Seeseeskeva]
