if you're asking whether a 100 lb clubhead would hit the ball further than a 1 lb clubhead if they have the same acceleration at impact then i would say yes...if you mean that a 100 lb machine and a 1lb machine both swing the same clubhead, in the same way, to the same acceleration at impact, then i would say no...

OK... would not a 100 lb. golfing machine(Iron Byron type device, Pingman, etc.) hit the ball further than a 6 ounce machine(that's more than twice the weight of the ball), with all other factors being equal?

The momentum(mass in motion) is transferring from the machine, into the clubhead, into the ball.
