You mentioned the sound of the MacGregor driver and therein lies a story... Some weeks ago, I decided to check out different models of drivers in the Callaway line since they seem to please me more than other brands. I tried the ERC Fusion and regardless of its titanium face, the carbon fiber body seems to make it sound like an old persimmon club. It was kind of a shock to hear that, but a bunch of warm memories flooded back with each well struck shot.

There are a few articles in recent golf magazines about how important the SOUND of our shots is to our perception of how well we struck them. If you really like the sound of a wooden club, maybe something like the Fusion is for you.
It's kind of funny.... I've read comments (not sure if here or elsewere) from players who didn't like the Fusion only because they didn't think it sounded like a driver should. I almost responded that their ages were showing... apparently for them a driver is supposed to make a "clink" when you hit it.

First of all, welcome to the forum.

I'm sitting in my office and in the corner is a huge tour bag with and assortment of drivers, fairway woods and putters that are in purgatory.
That's how I should decorate MY office... GOLF CLUBS... and the comment about them being in Purgatory is PRICELESS! I have some at home I'd like to send farther than that!
