Forum Thread of the Day: “If you had to pick one driver based on sound…”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from BenSeattle who asks fellow GolfWRX members what driver they would choose to buy if the decision was based purely on the sound made at contact. There are a wide variety of drivers mentioned, and our members also display a diverse taste in acoustics, with some enjoying a loud crack off the face of the driver, and others preferring a low pop.
Here are what a few of our members have said on the subject, but make sure to check out the entire thread at the link below.
- Mcgeeno: “My favorite ever was an OG Ping Rapture with 10 cotton balls in the head. Some people thought I miss hit it because it was so quiet haha.”
- IsleOfMan: “I know I definitely wouldn’t buy a Rogue, Epic, or Fusion… they sound dead to me and make me question contact on otherwise good shots. I guess I like a little more lively metallic sound, which I’ve never had an issue with in Cobra heads (I’ve had F6, F7, and now F8+).”
- gripandrip: “While I currently play an SZ (which Sounds great on solid shots), the best sounding modern driver I’ve ever had was a Titleist 910 D2. The perfect ‘THWACK’.”
- BVIChester: “Nike Sasquatch Sumo2. Always thought it made a noise similar to how i imagine a coconut falling out of a tree and connecting with a skull would make.”

From the Forums: How are you liking TaylorMade’s Qi10 fairway woods?
In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
- MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
- courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”

My latest favorite would be my 2015 Great Big Bertha. So glad I kept it because the Rogue metals I bought have a dead sound to them. Hard to tell when I’ve hit my best shot from the sound.

B-stone J33 series. Soft metallic “wheck” at impact.

Nothing has the great sound of wood. but that is gone and I think anything Callaway has a great sound. Of course being a former Wood maker I am partial, but you have to admit, if did sound great.

Sound is just so subjective. Those of us that grew up hitting persimmon woods and wooden baseball bats have a completely different opinion than those that grew up hitting metal woods and metal baseball bats.

If poly stuffing is used to weight the clubhead, sound is muffled/refined, as a gun with a silencer.
(unlike cotton, poly doesnt absorb moisture)

I like the sound of my Cobra ZL. Others have commented on the quality of the sound.

Worst sounding: Calllaway FT-3….sounded like a muffled plastic thump… Best sounding: agree with prior post above/ Nike Sumo2.

I also have the Cobra ZL that I bought for its sound – and looks.

This is an easy one. The old MacGregor V-Foil Eye O Matics had a sound like you were hitting dingers with a little league baseball bat. Always turned heads when hitting balls on the range.
