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.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
