This is just my personal experience, but I've alway enjoyed hearing my buddies hit their Taylormade Burners. I play with the Cleveland Monster XLS and its nothing close to the clean crisp sound that those Taylormades make. Almost bought one just because of the sound. lol Always felt kind of silly because I would look forward to hearing someone else tee off with one.

Driver - Cleveland Hi-Bore XLS Monster 10.5°
3W - Cleveland Hi-Bore 15°
2H - Cleveland Halo
3I - PW - Cleveland CG Red
GW - Cleveland CG 12 Camo 52°SW - Nike SV Tour 56° Putter - Sabertooth

I agree. Taylormade drivers make a nice sound. The R7s and SuperQuads had it too. Great sound. That's the only bum deal about my FT9, just doesn't quite have that.

Just different models. Not much of a difference really. You know Taylormade.

The r7 limited has variable weight technology (like the R9), as well as the r7 CGB max.
My achievements:
Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

Titleist D2s always sound the best to me, but I also like the r7 and burner sounds.

My new driver Tour Edge Exotics has a very crisp sound. I had a SuperQuad and I always thought it sounded like a florescent light bulb exploding? Plus I really never liked the deep face on it. Plus I dented the face of a R7 and the SuperQuad on off center hits.

Now that I think of it I had a Titliest 905R about 3 years ago, what a sweet clubhead...but I hated the fujikara stock shaft. I should have got it reshafted. Sold it on Ebay for $115.

persimmon are wood headed drivers they were made from persimmon and to your earlier question the r7 limited is the least forgiving but most workable r7 is in the middle and cgb max is most forgiving

      Good news. Now you can get the grip out of your palm… 😄

      Nice mate, very nice. I'd say forget about weight until what you're doing stops working and go win some beers from your mates while you're in the zone!

      My Swing (carpediem4300)

      By carpediem4300 ·

      Weight shift is next on the list but I need to groove this new feel and then work it back to a better shot shape. I started with a path +5 degrees out and a clubface -8 degrees. Hook city Ended with a path -0.5 and clubface +5. Straight fade/slice   So now just to dial it back a touch.

      Too much Sharpie on the golf ball?

      Whatever works best for you. Koodos.

      Geez I love seeing improvement like that. Well done. As someone whose "natural" swing is out to in 2-3 degrees I have to really stay on my front side (like 80%) to get that back to closer to 0 or even + for a draw. A big backswing also makes the path even worse. On the contrary a really short backswing with heavy front foot creates a hook. And to clarify, I feel that weight through my foot, knee and hip, it's not just leaning to the front side, it's almost like winding the coil in that front leg. That's probably the exact opposite of what the textbooks say? Perhaps because the textbooks are for guys who hit the ball well with an in to out club path struggle taming a hook?? For some reason ANY conscious weight transfer to my back foot exacerbates everything and stops me getting through the ball and I stand up off the ball. When I'm trying to hit a cut I don't consciously hold weight forward (but I make sure I don't transfer back) and it works. I have very bad hips, knees, shoulders from decades of (falling off) motorbikes and (falling off) surfboards so I can only do what I can do       I have found this "weight" approach works better for me than "try to swing in to out" using any method as I then lose impact angle and distance. With say an 8-iron I will lose 20m from my best shot even if it's a +2 path, because I just cannot get everything to work together.   I don't know if any of that helps - I am certainly a trial and error guy and not a coach with any kind of theory to back up my ponderings - but I am learning what works for me by making weight my number one swing thought.
