You know the sound of a properly struck golf shot? The one where the ball is squeezed off the face. The beautiful whack of a compressed ball. Does the sound of a compressed ball, struck at the same speed, sound differently with different clubs? For instance, if all other things are equal except the club, does it sound differently when struck with a blade vs. a SGI

It's different--same with drivers, they don't all sound the same when struck properly. I still remember that Nike Sumo square thing that was popular for a year or two, that sounded like an aluminum baseball bat even when it was hit perfectly.

Harmonics is something thats been just researched recently in golf. Titliest has done huge research on this, and claimed majority of feel is doing by hearing more than by the hands and contact. I think its because your hearing has the fastest reflex times. Thats why offense has the advantage in football for knowing the count. Offense gets to hear the count, while defense has to see the ball, hearing has a fast track to the brain for reception. So, i think hearing will pick up on good or bad hits more often than the hands. But I like the new Titliest three wood because it has a very soft feel, the sounds is very nice on it, i really enjoy hitting that club flush. It goes a mile to, just a  huge club. So i think majority of that feeling i am getting is from the sound, rather than the ball to clubface interaction.

But clubs definetly are suppose to sound different, now irons of the same brand and type should sound very similar, but drivers and woods should sound different.

I'm still using my Nike Sumo and I can attest that the sound is atrocious.  Hopefully I'll be able to get something new this winter.
