"It sounds different, but good. The ball takes off."
/Steve DiMeglio on Spain's Alvaro Quiros' latest driving range show stopping moment:
Quiros, who averages 315.6 yards with his driver to lead the European Tour, was hitting 280-yard rockets into a net at the end of the range on Monday — with a 1954 MacGregor Tourney M85 persimmon driver. Contact sounded like a baseball bat hitting a golf ball. The size of the wood driver head was smaller than his metal 3-wood. Quiros said he was hitting the ball as far as he hits his metal 5-wood.
"I like it," Quiros smiled. "It sounds different, but good. The ball takes off."
