Let me start by saying if you are looking for a negative review of this club then you have come to the wrong place! The Nike SQ Sumo2 5900 Driver was sat waiting for me in the pro shop when I arrived at the range today, sat there glistening like it was the second coming.

A few days back I tried out the first attempt that Nike had made which I had been putting off because of the fact that the new one was on the horizon. What I wasn’t expecting was a club that was not only a challenger to the old driver but also my beloved King Cobra which has frequented my bag for a while now.

Unlike normal where I would give you the sales bumph there is none that I can post which comes through my usual suppliers. However I do have a picture for you all to drool over:

The great Tiger Woods has given the Nike SQ Sumo2 5900 Driver the seal of approval saying it is the straightest and longest drives that any golfer can hope for. So when I got my hands on it was I disappointed? In a word NO.

There is a hedge at the end of my local driving range with the regulatory net to stop the ball flying onto the 6th fairway. With this club the golf pro and I decided that the ball will now be close to clearing the fence with my swing then it might be an idea to have the fence made higher.

The feel of the club is light and natural, this comes through in the strike of the ball. Forgiving, straight and very long, an extra 20 yards on my distance.

It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t find something slightly wrong with it and it is a plea to the makers of any square headed golf club please please please bring back that beautiful ting sound that drivers are supposed to make. I live on a golf course and its so much nicer to hear the sound of a ting than the thwack that they all think sounds so powerful! The 5900 is much better but it could still use a little more of a tweak to get that old sound back. Although now much much better than the first attempt.

There is however another snag with the club it retails at the moment at $399 it is a little expensive but if you are looking to add a straight and very long drive to your game then it is money well spent. Austad’s Golf have a great service and I happily recommends them as a supplier for the Nike SQ SUMO2 5900 Driver.

Also In the Hole Golf also have great deals on shipping at the moment as well if you are looking to cut the cost of the Nike SQ SUMO2 5900 Driver a little, they also have some sales bumph for you to cast your eyes on:
