On the thread about mats, people are talking about the sound of impact. My favorite impact sound is so muffled, I will sometimes wonder afterwards if I really heard it. Does anyone know why the best contact is so darned quiet? I am aware of that nasty click sound that my teacher says means my left arm/wrist was not solid throught impact. I know the sound and feel of thin. Would anyone care to elaborate on the variety of impact sounds? Thank you.

agree.

to me, a good contact, assuming we are talking irons, is a downward strike, actually, a downward "slice" on the ball by the clubface. from a sideview, the force vector is not very direct, possibly on the average 30-40 degree or so.

on the other hand, if we directly hit the ball with the leading edge, the force is much more direct, or right on. the impact will lead to a louder snap.

another way to look at it is ping pong. if we directly hit a ball with no spin, it is louder than if it is a spin shot.

To me the funniest sound is when im in the golf store and some1 decides to hit a blade. They step up and THWACK a HUGE toe shot(like a toe shank). It is by far the funniest sound i hav ever heard.
