Maintaining the acceleration rate at impact, through impact is the question, will it without mass behind it?

Given the scenario above, all things being equal minus the mass behind the generation of the acceleration, you will find no difference.

The reason is simple, you can not assume that the one without mass will slow down, there was no reason at the start for it to slow down, cause somehow it is accelerating the same as the one with mass.

Applying Newton's laws would as I understand it, have the "For an unbalanced force acting on a body, the acceleration produced is proportional to the force impressed; the constant of proportionality is the inertial mass of the body. " Because of impact both clubhead are affected in the same manner. Since Mass exist behind one which must be inpart responsible for the acceleration and the second has no mass behind it but yet an equal amount of acceleration it is therefore consistent to state they would both be effected the same.

Granted it seems that logically the impact would cause the one with no mass to slow down or be effected whereas the one with mass could offer resistance to this reduce, minimize and maybe overcome this effect, BUT since the one without the mass behind it was able to achieve the same acceleration rate, there is no logical explanation how or why it would not continue to act the same. Of course I am trying to figure out how something like this could achieve this acceleration rate.

Even the 1 lb vs the 100 lb comes up with the same answer. The golf ball only knows what the clubhead has told it or done to it. It has no idea why the clubhead has the properties it exhibits.

The difference between golfers and this scenario is the Human factor and the Techniques applied.
