In our forums, our members have been discussing drivers with the loudest sound at impact. WRXer ‘GolferDude54’ is hard of hearing and looking for a driver that makes a big noise at impact, and our members have been sharing their best picks 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.

jetmech879: “Nike SQ has to be the loudest driver I’ve ever heard!”
1s1k: “Another vote for Cobra L4V. People at the driving range were giving me dirty looks whenever I brought that out.”
OttoVanBizMarkie: “Cobra L4V and Cleveland HiBore XL. I think the L4V was louder, but the HiBore really made like a screeching sound whenever you hit the ball. Seems that with the square drivers mentioned before and the HiBore, the more irregular it is shaped, the worst it sounds.”
steventoo: “Another vote for the Cobra L4V here. I think they’re some of the best drivers ever made, but wow – they are loud.”

If you thought Adam Scott was slowing down on the equipment changes, you’d be wrong.

GolfWRX got the first look at the retail version of Adam Scott’s Miura AS-1 irons back at The 2023 Players Championship, but it wasn’t until this week at the 2023 Memorial Tournament that he actually put the new irons in the bag. He was previously using the original Miura prototype heads that, coincidentially, he first put into play at last year’s 2022 Memorial event. In exactly a year’s time, Scott replaced those prototype heads with the Miura AS-1 irons that were recently made available to the public.

This week, we also got an in-hand look at Scott’s new Srixon ZX Mk II driving iron, which he’s now equipping with a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft.

Additionally, Getty Images spotted Scott with a new TaylorMade BRNR Mini driver in the bag this week.

According to TaylorMade, Scott is using a Stealth 2 Plus driver in combination with a BRNR Mini this week, and he’s currently leading Strokes Gained: Off the Tee after the first round of the Memorial, where he shot a 2-under 70.

Scott’s Stealth 2 Plus and BRNR Mini specs and launch numbers

Head: TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus (9 degrees, with 10 degrees of actual loft)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7X

Stealth 2 Plus launch conditions: 11.5° degrees launch at 2400 spin, 305 carry, 320+ total, 181 ball speed

Head: TaylorMade BRNR Mini (13.5 degrees, with 13 degrees of actual loft)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7X (tipped 1 inch)
Length: 44 inches
Weights: 13g back 5g front
Swingweight: D3
Launch Conditions: 11 degrees at 2800 spin, 282 carry, 305 total, 173 ball speed

“The BRNR Mini driver went into the bag for Adam this week because of the golf course and the distance gap between his driver and 4-wood,” said Adrian Rietveld, TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager, according to TaylorMade. “At Muirfield, drivers run out and the gapping with his 4-wood left him too far behind. As he told us during testing, with BRNR Mini, he can play the golf course instead of the golf course playing him.”

The Adam Scott equipment-centric weekly reality show continues on, and it’s appointment television at this point. Check out what the GolfWRX Forum members are saying about Scott’s latest switches in our forums.
