If you had to buy a driver by SOUND ONLY....

[sharkiesj]

OG Ping Rapture. Dark, chocolate-ty, yummy delicious thwack. Very persimmon-esque

[AreJohn]

Callaway FT-3.

Cracked 3 of them before they sent me an FT-5 but that noise is the song of my teenage years.

[vette66]

Mizuno MP650

[Sparky14]

The one that yells "POW" after you hit it.

[Baitkiller]

Krank F5. Sounds like a softball bat on a fence post. Heads turn, people look. I never hit it at the range.

[asw7576]

Japanese driver grand golf have unique impact sound.

[Hateto3Putt]

Rain mans brother talking about Wopner.

 

Excellent driver, excellent driver.

[ZAP]

FT Tour.

[SCOTT4099]

King Ltd or 2017 m1 460

[rwl]

Can't compare with persimmon, but 910D3 for me.

[LHGolf4]

I think the PING G400 (not the Max) sounds really good especially compared to G30 and G series drivers.

[BearQ]

LTD Pro in a landslide

[Kylekoz17]

Nike vapor flex 440

[nitram]

R510TP followed very closely by the FT9-TA

[No_Catchy_Nickname]

I'm not sure what the best is, but I can tell you the worst is whatever the guy 5 places down from me at the range was hitting the other day. Damn, that was one loud, ear-piercing sound.

I thought it might be the Nike SQ or whatever that thing was called, but it looked more like a Ping G or G30.

 

I do think the G400 is a massive improvement on the G and G30 in terms of sound, but the Cobra King LTD sounded good to me as well.

Nike vapor flex 440

 

l wasn't a huge fan of the feel, but the sound was awesome

[ohioglfr]

Nearly any of the old, sub-315cc, maraging steel faced drivers. Really loved that sound.

 

I abhor drivers that sound anything close to an aluminum baseball bat.

[CDG1029]

I’ve found that the same driver sounds different when you hit it, than when you are standing back and someone else hits it. Same kind of thing as how your voice sounds to you when you are talking vs. when you hear yourself talk on a recording.

 

That being said, while hitting, I loved the sound of my old callaway razr hawk. I also liked the sound of the FT drivers and a bunch of the 10-ish year old driver when they started using carbon fiber and other composites. Nice crack type of sound.

 

Edit: Spelling

[jmccaff]

Titleist 905T is my all time favourite for sound and feel.

[grm24]

TM R580XD TP

[KGrinols]

I like really loud ear-piercing drivers, that sound like aluminum bats. The Taylormade R1 sticks out in my mind.

[BenSeattle]

Krank F5. Sounds like a softball bat on a fence post. Heads turn, people look. I never hit it at the range.

 

Speaking of noise, I've been at the range many times when somebody near me would bring out one of those big, sometimes square, Nike drivers... maybe the square one (I don't know Nike products for good reason.) Our Seattle ranges are all covered and we hit off mats so you can imagine the cacophonous sound that club made. It was like a trash can being dropped from 10 stories.... harsh, penetrating and really, REALLY unpleasant. I would have to move away while the guy finished hitting his driver... damn thing was busting my ears.

[peepee]

Of the newer drivers epic and fusion aren't bad.

 

Have an mp630 mizzy that sounds feels, and looks great

[Jonesy]

Majority of the Callaway drivers have a great sound, Cleveland DST Tour and Classic weren't bad either

[MRL1984]

Nike vapor flex 440

 

My favorite driver. I'd play it still if I wasn't afraid to break it. Isn't the longest but it found fairways for me.

[bodhi555]

Either my Powerbilt TPS Persimmon or my old Nike SQ 460 Tour - that used to make a fantastic "crack" on the way through, nice and loud to put off opponents with a hangover :)

 

Loved my old Covert Tour when a Top Flite XL or Molitor turned up in my range bucket. You could hear that thing for miles.

[jj9000]

J33

 

A very distinct 'thwack' sound. Not metallic sound at all. More like a wooden baseball bat hitting a home run. The anti-Sumo sound.

 

Yes...yes...I agree with you.

[1Mordrid1]

Taylormade R540 XD had a sweet distinct sound when you flushed it.

[Bye]

Ping Eye wooden head

975D

Most recently the SLDR. Looked great, sounded, went er sideways!

[baloo]

Pretty much any persimmon driver.

Exactly, nothing sounds better or feels better.
