I have been building clubs since 2004 and until recently, I really did not know the answer to this question. According to research and an Ai Search, this is what I discovered:
To achieve a noticeable "trampoline effect" on your driver head, you generally need a swing speed of around 105 mph or higher; this is because most standard drivers are designed to maximize their spring effect within that speed range, allowing for greater ball velocity and distance.
If you have a lower swing speed (like most of us) you can gain yards by going with an oversized head which stretches the volume up to 515cc to gain more trampoline effect as the face may be thinner. Or, Krank Golf, with their genius engineered Formula Fire drivers offer three different face thickness to match the players swing speed. Pro for drives over 260 yards (LPGA Legal), X High Core for drives 200-260 yards, and XX Super High Core for drives 200 yards or less.
Keep in mind that LPGA limits the driver head volume to 460cc, plus a tolerance of 10cc, so drivers in the "Illegal Equipment" section on my site, or some Krank drivers are not going to be legal for official an some non-official tournaments. But, if you are just looking to gain some distance, why not?!

Posted by Steve on 12th Jul 2019I stopped golfing 12 years ago mostly due to back issues I was having. I got back in to it and was playing a very old set of standard irons. My score was awful and I just couldn't find my swing. Ron suggested I consider these clubs for two [...]
Posted by Steve on 12th Jul 2019I got back in to golf after a 12 year absence and my scores were horrible. I was using old clubs. Ron walked me through various options after hearing about my wicked hook. He recommended this club because it is very forgiving. This driver has made me feel much [...]

The following is a very detailed review that my customer, Andrio, took the time to write so I wanted to share as there has been a great interest in the Pinhawks:OK, finally got to the range to test the irons themselves. Took a couple of shots with the SW to get accustomed to the length [...]
