As far as the mass of the club... remember the Featherlights?
...if so, IMHO, then more mass only helps if can accelerate it the same, whether it be the mass of the person or the clubhead...

...no savvy Featherlights, but from the name i'll guess they were lighter clubs that proposed to allow you to hit farther...again, in my view less mass means you have to up the acceleration...so if they were half the mass, i'd say you'd have to double the acceleration to stay even...but as 6b pointed out, most of us (or at least I) would be a lot better off hitting the sweet spot a little slower, more often....
