Nike Sumo Sq2 5900 Driver Reviews

Nike SasQautch or SQ 5900 Driver
Specs

The Nike SQ2 5900 driver has pushed the moment of inertia (MOI), volume and efficiency to the limits of what U.S. Golf Association rules allow. This squared driver has a convex crown and much deeper face than most drivers, increasing ball speed off impact and allowing the ball to fly more accurately. The face of the club is multi-layered from corner to corner, allowing faster ball speed off every part of the face and providing more distance even on off-center hits. The Aldila, Nike or UST brand shaft can be provided with a senior, regular, stiff or extra-stiff flex shaft, along with a Nike rubber composition grip for comfort.

Perks

It has a nice, firm sound during contact and a good feel through impact. The ball flight is a medium height, and the launch angle slowly increases, giving you more carry distance than you might be used too. Very little distance is lost on mishits.

Sacrifices

It is hard to tell when you mishit the ball because all contact feels the same. It does not help your slice or hook; you will have to figure that out yourself.

Bottom Line

It's a nice driver to add to your bag and comfortable with no real distractions such as sound or weird alignment aids. Nike has improved this driver from its 5000 model. The driver can be found for as low as $150 new as of September 2009.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

How to Give Your Golf Clubs a Tuneup
by John D. Tudor
During the course of a year, an avid golfer's clubs are swung anywhere between 18,000 and 20,000 times, carried or hauled on a golf cart for about 3,000 miles, roughly handled another 1,000 times, tossed about the trunk of a car for over 20,000 miles and swung in a variety of less-than-perfect situations involving low-hanging branches, rocks and hardpan. Obviously, the stress and strain a golf club endures goes far beyond that for which it's designed, so now is the perfect time to examine your woods and irons and, if necessary, get them back into playing shape.
