Nike SQ Sumo2 5900 Driver Golf Club

I got a great deal on Ebay on this club ($82)and figured it was worth a shot. I had used and liked the Sumo 2 460 but my 13 year old liked it even more so into his bag it went. I'm a 46 yr old recreational golfer who has only recently returned to the game. My handicap at this moment is probably around 14. When I first got my 5900 I struggled some off the tee. My usual swing speed and ball placement would end up with a wicked top spin that drove the ball into the ground 75 yards in front of the tee box. After some adjustment to my swing that involved loosening my grip a little more,teeing up higher and moving slightly closer to the ball the true strengths of this club started showing. I'm now driving the ball down the center of fairways and, according to my skycaddie SG5, usually in the 255-280 yd range. With my Taylormade Burner I could sometimes get 270 or so but most of the time it was left or right of center. I never knew for sure where it was going to end up. The 5900 isn't foolproof but it's pretty darn close with a consistent swing. It's showing to be much more forgiving on my non-consistent strokes as well. Even a poorly hit drive can give me 210-220 yards and most times still in the fairway, enough to salvage some par 4's and 5's. I find I can work the ball to the right w/o too much trouble but turning it to the left,while possible, is not easy for me with my outside/in swing tendency. But hey..this club was made to hit it straight, not for working it left and right,and for that I think you will find the 5900 to be a good choice. The club is relatively light,has a good balanced feel,and I found the square head to be a pretty easy adjustment. The sound of the 5900, compared to the 460, is more muffled and "driver like" but I never found either to be that bothersome as long as the drives were going where I wanted! For me, the 5900 is a 5 out of 5.

I have slowed my swing speed down slightly, not only has this allowed me to hit the ball closer to the center of the face, but it allows the flex to come into play and the ball really takes off. I am hitting it at least 15 to 20 yards futher than I did my old regular flex club. I am 67 years old and I had been thinking of switching to a senior flex, should have changed a few years ago. This club has a slightly higher sound pitch than my old 10.5* Cobra, but I have to admit I love hitting it straighter and futher. The fairways are easier to hit when you are swinging slower, it gives me a lot of confidence. I love the 55 gram shaft and the overall light weight of the entire club, although before I got it I thought it would brother me. I have read other peoples reviews on this club and they say the club is made cheaply and doesn't hold up well. I've now used the club for over a year, at least once a week and the club has held up very well, it still looks almost new.
I'm sold on the Driver make and model, it's a keeper.

I haven't been happy with my driver for some time now and felt that the head was "dead". I tried a buddy's Nike Sumo2 5900 and liked how solid it felt on impact and after trying several other drivers in the $100 - $150 range, I decided this was the driver for me. I stuck with the stock Diamani graphite shaft, regular flex. I am still getting used to the large square head but am starting to see improvement in distance and accuracy over my old Taylormade R560. I think a after a few more range sessions and rounds, my game off of the tee will greatly improve. Nike has subsequently released 2 newer versions of this club so it was available in retail stores for 60% off of it's original price. I bought it off eBay because I could get it new for another 25% off that discounted price.

I affectionately call it my Bissel driver because I feel like I swinging a small sweeper. The more I hit it, the less awkward it feels. The shaft flexes well and the stock grip feels very good. It really feels solid at impact and off-center strikes still feel good and have good distance. It is a very forgiving club. I could have spent a lot more and got the latest technology but if I had to do it again, I 'd make the same decision. I spent less on my new irons plus the driver than I would have on the latest driver!

The Squarehead Nike SQ Sumo 5900 helped me find my drive. The High MOI produced by the weigh balance in the head of the club produced a longer drive while the enlarged sweetspot produced more forgiveness allowing me to stay in the fairway. I tried every driver from a Callaway to Taylormade and had no success until I picked up the squarehead. It is configured a little bit differently so it takes a few swings to get used to but as soon as your swing conforms you will notice that your drives will be longer and straighter. I recently took third in a Memorial Day Tournament while using this driver. Every other time I had played the tournament I was lucky to break top 10. I would recommend this driver to anyone who is having trouble finding a way to keep the bll down the middle off the tee.

Nothing better than a sweet new driver and when coupled with an awesome shaft its off the charts. The club is great and oh so long, the launch angle is exactly what I was looking for in a driver that can beat the Oklahoma winds and take advantage of the firm and fast fairways. Hard not to hit this baby straight and I think that the squared head aids in alignment as well, you just feel confident over the ball and that is something you can't put a price on.
Oh did I mention that I got this club for less than the Blueboard shaft retails for, how can you beat that, the best shaft and the best club thrown in for free. I LOVE EBAY and I look here for everything FIRST, customer for LIFE.
