It appears to be better in every way than the 2007 model, which received many rave reviews. The 2008 version has more MOI, more distance and less clatter. A few others simply said it would take some time to get used to. Because it is somewhat flattened, it appears larger than a lot of other 460cc drivers.Īaron Benjamin, a mid-teen handicapper from Urbana, Ill., described it as a waffle iron. First and foremost among the golfers I asked to hit the club and give their opinion is the shape of that square clubhead. This allows players to tee lower in windy conditions.Īnd, as with the original model, the drawbacks - aside from the sound - are the same.

A pair of septuagenarians who allowed me to play though recently in Scotland commented that they could certainly tell which hole I was on.īut, as I say, the sound is considerably dampened, at least to a level commensurate with that of other big, square-headed drivers on the market.Īs with the original model, the 5900 sports a relatively shallow face, compared to other 460cc drivers. Despite the tremendous relief this improvement engendered in me and my ear drums, it should be pointed out that the noise is not gone all together. The first thing you notice when you actually hit a ball is that the aforementioned noise at impact is considerably dampened. This doesn't appear to have resulted in less accuracy, but it certainly seems to have lent a bit more distance to the driver.

I won't go through the story again, but suffice it to say that last year's model was immediately relegated to the basement.Īn immediately noticeable difference between the 5900 and the driver we tested last year is that the shaft of the 5900 is a bit longer. My first impression of the 5900 was related in a recent blog. The 2008 incarnation, the SQ Sumo2 5900, is, according to Nike, a higher-MOI, longer-hitting version of the maiden model. The major complaint was the god-awful, ear-shattering racket it made on contact with the ball. It was impressive, winning PGA Tour tournaments and topping the list of drivers I tested last year. Last year Nike Golf introduced the first square-headed driver on the market, the SQ Sumo2. EQUIPMENT REVIEW Nike Golf's SQ Sumo2 5900 driver improves over maiden model
