Using a bigger stone or smaller stone would not alter the result because David slew Goliath by moving in the anointing that God had put on his life.

Goliath mocked the armies of the living God for 40 days. David was not just talented. David was a man anointed by the Spirit of God. David killed the lions and bears that had attacked the sheep that he cared for with the power of the anointing of God.
