There are soo many sounds that different drivers make. What is the best that you have heard.

I would say the Ping G2--Just listen to this drive by M.A. Jiminez

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

No contest. The sound of a prehistoric* persimmon driver hit squarely “on the screws”.



*In the world of golf forums, equipment is defined as:

·Outdated: Last year's model
·Vintage: 1-3 model years old.
·Antique: 3-5 model years old.

The best sound is the Callaway ft-3 Tour IMO, because it sounds kind of soft to me. But as far as loudest, the Callaway Hyper X... sounds like Bonds hitting 755 with an alluminum bat

The loudest driver I have ever heard was last year's Cobra Speed. Sounded like a Little leaguer hitting a baseball with an aluminum bat. I prefer the sound of the Sumo2 personally.

That and last years Nike Sumo. Both had the bat sound. The Sumo 2 got rid of that sound. I play the Cobra from last year and the Nike 3 Wood from this year.

i personally prefer the sound of my HiBoreXL..not the XLS..that has a resonating pop that can make you deaf if you're at the range and someone's hitting it next to you.

But without looking up, I can tell when I hit a drive that's crushed....gotta love hearing different sounds as the ball's hit in diff portions of the face.

But i'd say the MOST ANNOYING driver that I've heard is the Sumo.. ANNOYING doink sound.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
