NIKE SQ SUMO 5000!@ ....Can you say long!

[d_golf]

Recently, I got to give the new SQ Sumo 5000 (driver) a test drive.
Now, I am King Cobra kind of guy...but I have never hit a ball that far and straight. Capped out at 369 yards. I guess I have to buy it now!

Any other reviews out there on this club....??

[ganjagolfer]

369, that's a kinky number to hit a ball

[d_golf]

Well lets round up to an even 370... it was far
Added about 35-40 yards!

[ganjagolfer]

how far in the air and on the roll?

[d_golf]

Over 300 in the air... the rest must be roll.
The ball had gills!

What's your driver swing speed?

[d_golf]

Well, I actually meant to discuss the driver more...not so much me
But, my club head speed is in the 125-30 range ..ball speed 190+ .

Ex-ball player (just minors leagues before you ask.lol).
You learn how to generate power and let it go all at the right moment.

i actually don't mind how it looks. the square part is kind of hidden and the sound and feel are definately improved.

This is so true. When a friend mentioned to me that the mechanics of a baseball swing are almost identical to a golf swing, I became much more consistent. That, along with the "imagine your going to right field" helped tremendously.

190+ ball speed...with some work you might win 250K next year at Remax.

not trying to be a smart azz, I like the Sumo Square (my 11 year old son has a Lucky 13 and hits it about 210).

Anyway...you were probably swinging a little slower and letting the club "do the work" and hitting it on the screws.

Start swinging like a gorrilla and it will be less accurate than your 3 iron...really.

i tried this driver and loved it its amazing

Are we mistaking the 5000 (pear shaped) for the 5900 (square)?. I'm interested in buying one of these but hear the square launches quite high. Any comments or advice would be great.

I just bought the Nike SQ Sumo 5000 yesterday; 10.5 deg. loft, it is the pear shaped NOT the Sumo Square. I had a last year's Sumo Square [weird ka-ching sound!!]

I hit 40 balls at the range yesterday...not too bad, today will be its first real test on the course..

The SUMO 5000 is a more traditionally round-shaped driver with a deep-face profile. This gives golfers the freedom to shape the ball or hit it long and straight. The PowerBow design strategically positions weight in the club head to optimize the center of gravity location.

From looking at the 5000 in stores, I find that the grip is quite small/narrow feeling. Anyone else find this?

Edited to add...

Is the SQ 5000 face closed or square? I can't find anything on the net about it

190+ ball speed.....WOW Jason Zubak has the same ball speed. Can you say new Long drive champ. Hope to see you at the finals this years. Look into it. Check out Alpha and SMT long drivers for you ball speed. I bet you will hit them even further.
