Loud Drivers

My Nike Sasquatch sounds like an aluminum bat. I love it.

Exactly. I love the sound. If I can hear an echo, I hit the sweet spot. Perfect auditory feedback.

I love the sound of my SQ, most people don't on my golf team, but I just love it (especially since it's going straight now).

Ditto here. It keeps the ball down the middle so I don't care if it grunts like Maria Sharapova.

Ugh, that grunting makes it impossible for me to even consider watching tennis, it's the most annoying thing ever.

my cleveland hi bore xl has a higher pitch than what i was used to with my old maxfli driver. i love it though.

I think it's funny that some folks get torqued up about the sound other players drivers make. I simply don't understand it. I could see if you were getting your butt whipped in an important round....dreading the sound that your opponents club as he continues to smash 'em down the middle....

I guess to each his own.

Maybe I've simply been lucky over the years and never had a driver that created harsh impact noise that I found objectionable. Then again....maybe I should have checked with the guys I played with...."Ah...'scuse me fellas.....but do you find my driver sound to your liking....you see, I'm rather fond of this club and don't want to discard it....unless, of course, it's sound doesn't please you...in which case I'll rush out and buy a better mannered model".

Gimme a break.

Maybe I've just been lucky.....don't know.....I'm just sayin'.

My Nike makes a pretty loud sound, but not annoyingly loud. Very distinct.

I bought my son a Slazenger lady's Raw Distance driver that makes a pretty crazy sound. Just like an aluminum bat in fast pitch softball. One time at the range I tried to hit it to see if I could make it really sing out, but the shorter shaft must have thrown me off because I kept topping the ball and never could make good contact (after about 3 tries). The kids were laughing so I hard I gave up. But that is about the craziest sounding driver I've ever heard.

My buddy has one of these and we call it " Billy Ray ". It makes a loud WONK! and the head cover looks like a Mullet hair cut. "... don't tell my heart, my achey, breaky heart ...."

[Uthinkso]

My Cleveland is loud when compared to my old R7 425. I certainly wouldn't call it loud enough to be offensive, I do take care not to hit it at covered range though.

[firstcut]

My FT-i is FOOKING LOUD, especially on hard mis-hits. It actually makes my right ear ring.

Does anyone know how to plug their ear with their finger while swinging a driver?

[AK jr.]

mg g10 is semi loud on miss hits. when i hit it flush tho it sounds great. i have known cobra drives to be extremely loud and obnoxious. i used to play a titleist driver and plan on getting a new one soon, i also love the way they sound

[UP&DOWN]

My Cobra 440SZ has the highest pitch ping, that leaves my ear ringing for 275 yards of walking, until I approach my ball in the middle of the fairway and then it suddenly feels better.

[LongballGer]

The cleveland is prolly the loudest club ever

[Cruzin99]

I recently traded in my Ping G2 for a Lynx Predator Ti, but didn't really pay attention to the sound of the Lynx when i demo'd it in Golfsmith. Once i got in on the course though, it sounded like i was hitting a fungo bat against a steel pole! I was a little put-off at first, but the performance of the club has definitely made me care less about the sound.

I still get just as much distance as the G2, but now i get very little sidespin and i even get the bonus of not having to yell "fore!" at all after a tee shot b/c everyone is already looking my way due to the fungomatic.

I have the Cobra 400 tour and it is the same way. It's pretty obnoxious, but you can't argue with 300 yards off the tee.

[T.J.K.]

Nickent 3Dx Tour Square is ridiculous. I love it though.

It has the aluminum bat sound.

[JessN16]

I have two King Snake drivers, the Mamba 2 and the Viper Tour Black.

I hit the VTB a lot better and farther, and it has a nice metal sound but not obnoxious.

The Mamba 2 is another story. VERY loud, clanky sound. I wouldn't mind it but since I don't hit that club as well as my VTB, I don't have to hear it anymore.
