Muting a driver soound

I have a GBBII tour issue 415 driver with a 761 TB, is there a way to mute the sound it makes?

Joe Kwok would be a good guy to speak to re: this. Here's his number. Call him between 11A and 2P Pacific Time... (650) 757-8310 He is one of the best there is and does incredible work. Very fair too. Cost you nothing to talk to him. He will be honest. :cool:

I used poly "cotton" fill on my R510 TP and R580 tour issue. Both muted the sound nicely and really helped give them a much better feel.

One of the benefits for me was that I could use the shaft I wanted and use enough cotton to get the swingweight to what I want and still have a neutraly weighted driver head. It does raise the center of gravity a bit however.

How much cotton did you use? I thought the COG wouldn't change unless roughly 10% of the headweight is moved...

I did it on a couple of my R510TP's. I personally prefer a heavier head and the TP seemed to weigh in at around 195grams or so. I used my digital scale to weigh the head and then to let me know when I had put enough poly fill in there to get to 203 grams or so.

I don't remember the exact numbers but they are close.

Yes the poly fill will raise the center of gravity a bit. I guess it mainly depends on how much you use.

My driver was 10.5* so it could stand a little higher C.O.G.
