hey guys...I was just at the range today practicing when all of a sudden I hear this solid weird sound. I looked behind me and this guy was using his driver. I've read a couple post regarding the Nike Sasquatch square driver having a loud sound and I have also seen a couple guys used the Nike driver. But when I looked over to peek at the guy behind me to see what he was using, It looked like he was using a Callaway driver. I didn't really wanna ask him what he was using since I'm pretty sure like most of us, we don't wanna be disturb when practicing. Was it the FTi driver? I couldnt see the "red" color.

Was it a square driver? There are some companies who also in the market for square driver not just limited to Nike and Callaway as supercow has mentioned. However, the only square driver Callaway has is FT-i. If it's not, I'd guess FT-5 or perhaps X460. They're both loud but not like Nike's. Nike's is a total turn off.

If it were a FT-i/FT-5 you would be able to tell immediately. There are no other drivers on the market that sound like the FT series. They sound like a rock hitting an aluminum bat....but real loud.

When driver shopping, I could hit that Cobra well, but I couldn't get over it's sound. Waaay too loud for me, and it just doesn't sound like a golf club should to my ear.

Huh, I love the sound of the big Nike - both times I was at the range there was someone wailing one of those. Sure gets your attention.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
