By Mike Camunas

Specs

The Nike SQ Sumo2 3 Wood's head has a square geometry, similar to its sister driver, the SQ Sumo2 5900, and this head is made of cryo steel and has a large impact zone. The club comes with a 13 degree loft. A Mitsubishi Diamana Yellow Board Graphite shaft is available in senior, regular, stiff and x-stiff flexes and comes with a Nike Tour Velvet grip. The golf club is also available in left-handed models. The suggested retail price is about $280.

Perks

The Nike SQ Sumo2 Fairway Wood comes in numbers 3 through 7 and in lofts from 13 to 21. The Nike SQ Sumo2 Fairway Wood comes in numbers 3 through 7 and in lofts from 13 to 21.

The square, somewhat enlarged head helps hitting balls off the fairway or even out of tough shots in the rough. It has a greater impact area that allows average golfers to make better contact. The loft of the club allows a higher flight of the ball, giving the golfer a straight and long shot.

Sacrifices

This club hits long but straight shots. There will be little room for draws or fades. This line of woods can carry from 175 to 220 yards, but it will always be a straight shot if hit well. That's because the square club head has a larger impact zone.

Bottom Line

This is a good club to invest in. Typically, this club comes with the purchase of a Nike driver, but it has distance off the square head to cover plenty of fairway to the green.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Using Frequency to Test the Flex of Your Shafts
by Jeff Jackson
What's the flex of your shafts? At one time, a golfer could safely answer that his or her shafts were stiff, regular or ladies flex. That simply isn't the case any longer. Most manufacturers have their own method of shaft measurement. What this means is that one company's "R" flex shaft may actually be softer than another's "A" or even "L" flex. How, then, can a golfer select the appropriate shaft if no manufacturing standard exists? In a word: frequency.
