Which is the best "sounding" driver you played?

I'm still sold on the sound of my TM Tour Burner. Really solid thwack, without sounding harsh or sharp. Not eardrum busting like the ONOFF ones.

ONOFF is how ur hearing is after pounding one with their driver.

hmm.....Nike Dymo sound is solid!

Titleist 909 D2/D3 .... solid sound at impact.

Titleist drivers tend to lean more towards a meaty thud, seemingly preferred by pros and low amateurs alike. Harking back to the good old days of persimmon.

Mid to higher handicappers seem to prefer a more metallic "pow" or "twang". Gives the illusion of a real explosive launch, esp with slower swing speeds.

Makes sense to me since the harder you hit, the louder the impact.

To me, these days, it's all about the feel not the sound.

@birdman -- titty drivers have a more solid thwack, and feel much better. am guessing that it is either what they put into the head (hot melt?) or the nature of the bore through shafting. maybe DGman can enlighten us

Whenever I hv a good shot, it sounds like "mmmoneyyyyyyyy".

Ker-ching??

for me i think TM drivers generally sounds great...especially the R7, R9 and burner...even their utilities like woods or hybrid oso sound very nice when kanna sweet spots..

I think my Dymo 2 is really loud. It did become quieter a little after I reshafted it with a grafalloy.

for me, I always like the sound of Callaway driver specially the ERC Hot.

My 2nd choice would be MacGreGor drivers

then Ping & TM R7 driver

the old callaway drivers has the tiny metal "ting" sound i like. the new callaway drivers are just plain loud, i hate it.

titleiest sounds like "piak", not and interesting sound.

TM sounds like the old callaway drivers.

I think most of the feel in the driver comes from the shaft for me. boardy shafts just feel bad. whippy shafts just make you cannot feel where the head is.

Love the sound of my TM R7!
My flight mates' Nike Dymo very meaty & solid sound. Not bad too.
Would love to hear Ping G15 though

For TM, i really love the r7 ti tp woods. The glass breaking sound can made people Wet.

TaylorMade R7 Superquad

eponnnnnnnnn

think refined x drive metallic twack. beST!

best sounding: Taylormade Burner

worst sounding: Nike SQ (the square one). totally flat.

taylor made R9 460...

Hoping to try the Callaway Diabloe Edge this evening. If it sounds good, may just buy it..

Mizzy, you think I shoud change my driver ah???

the G15 so far sounds the best, but G20 is nice too

I think we need to quantify what it means by a nice sound if we were to ever get to conclusion. If it's subjective then that is fine.

As for my clubs, G20 on good contact sounds like an explosion to me..
but I prefer the sound of i15, it's explosive and less harsh (read : high frequency)

To me, the best drivers must create two sounds, not one. The two sounds are:

"Oh my god!" - this sound comes from me.

"F@rk! Gimme more strokes!" - this sound comes from my playing mate(s).
