Is there an easy way of determining whether your club is legal ?
I have been told that on the face of the driver the impact point on the illegal club is a circle of dots whereas on the legal club there are no dots.
Can anyone confirm this.
Thanks.

The SQ sumo2 5900, PPffff...This thing kicks major behind. Pryor to this club, I had a Cleveland Hi-bore and the FT-9. The SQ is not only the straightest, but furthest. After a good round I lay down and go to bed and cuddle with my SQ Sumo2 for a a few hours. Love the club. IF, and only IF I had something bad to say I would say this...It has an unusal sound, but I think its growing on me

I bought 1 of the sumo 2 5900 off ebay for 73.00.Have only played 9 holes with it.It was 45 outside & the ball traveled like mid July unbelievable!!I dont think i will be sending mine back.I was in such awe of my drives that i was not able to really focus on my 2nd shot thus not scoring as well as i should have.I really dont care if it conforms or not SEE YOU IN THE FAIRWAY!!

I Just was allerted that my SQ Sumo may have the non-conforming face from a Pro from the Pro shop @ Las POsitas GC...As it turns out I am in the Clear!!! I love the SQ Sumo!!! Who cares what it sounds like and and I am able to shape shots as well as any other club I have used. If any of you are wondering whether the Square technology is for you....Try it!!! You won't be disapointed!!!! I would encourage you to also special order the club shaft....I went with the "Adila VS Proto 65r". Much better shaft than the Nike supplied shaft. I'm hitting the ball as long or longer than my much bigger opponents!!! Somethig to be said about good mechanix and good timing!!!

Wish I would have gotten the 'non-conforming' model because I bought the Sumo SQ2 to replace my Titleist 983, but the SQ2 is actually 10 yds. shorter. It is too forgiving and can not shape shots. Worst of all; it sounds terrible!!!! I would not recommend this club to anyone because it would be a big waste of money.

[...] But I'm also of the opinion of "if it works, use it." Our forum members' opinions are similar. The popularity of the Sumo2 driver was also affected somewhat by the recall Nike issued in March. [...]

[...] Bertha 460 driver will be placed on the USGA list of non-conforming clubs. Just like the recalled Nike Sumo², the problem is the spring-like effect, which went over the characteristic time limit correlating [...]

Hello to all; what a bummer. I love my new Sumo2 too. I don't know if I can post my scores or if there is some type grace period allowed? Also do I take the driver back to where I bought it? If it's not USGA up to par then I think it's BUNK.... to say the least. I just returned from Palm Springs and all the folks just were so excited to see the New Club. We played the Westin Gary Player Exec. and with the light air and extra roll the club design allows good forwar and straight roll. For an old duffer as myself, I finaly get a glub that has no gizmos or counter weights and no wrenches to carry around and tune this and tune that and now I have to give it back... With the individuals I play with, for sure I need to go by the rules. I don't think NIKE GOLF did this on purpose. I will look forward to their repacement Which will still kick butt. Peace Out Just Do It.
