displacement test, yielding a volume of cubic centimeter (cc) units. As a general rule, larger heads are more forgiving on off-center hits, a good feature for beginners or for those who have trouble consistently bring the club back to the same location at impact very often. For all practical purposes, a large head and a smaller head of the same specifications will perform

Center of Gravity
The CG, or center of gravity, of a club head is defined as the intersection of all points of balance of the head. The CG of a wood head is most typically toward the heel, approximately ½" back from the face. The farther the CG is back from the face, the higher the ball flight may
