Greetings.
Long time reader of this message board (love it) but have just begun posting.

I have a driver for question for anybody who plays Nike Drivers and/or has demo’d them.

I’m going to buy a Nike Driver over the next couple of days. I’m deciding between the Dymo SQ and the SUMO 5900 SQ.

Obviously, being newer the Dymo is selling for $299, while the SUMO is older and selling for only $149 at this time.

My question for people who have played them is there any real noticeable differences between the two (aside from the appearance). I’ve decided to make a big investment in my clubs (just purchased the Nike Victory Red Split Forged Irons)---- but I want to know if the DYMO is really worth twice the price of the SUMO, aside from being a better looking driver. I read the review for the SUMO here and it was given a great review.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !

Perhaps I used poor wording. My question is, do you feel the Dymo SQ is worth twice as much ($300) as the Nike 5900 SUMO 2 ($159)?

This may not be too much help, but I have the SUMO 5000 and absolutely love it. Unless the Dyno is a beast, or unless you want to be able mess around with the set up, the SUMO is great and half the price

Same here, though I'm really drawn to the SQ Dymo STR8-Fit, and I have a feeling it will make it into my bag before July. With that said, you cant go wrong with the SUMO² 5900 for $150. I bought my 5000 for $149 used a while back, and would do it again.

A couple things to take into consideration - if the sound of the club is an issue for you, you may want to go with the Dymo. While I love the sound of the Sumo 5000, some people dont. The sound of the Dymo is a little better than the Sumo. The other thing is aesthetics. I like the look of the Sumo, but I LOVE the look of the Dymo. It looks a little more traditional, and the powerbow isnt as pronounced. I'm not sure if all that is worth the difference in price, but I dont think that you'll go wrong with either one. If I were in your shoes and spending your money , I'd probably get the Dymo. Good luck. Let us know what you decide!!!

Keep in mind that the STR8 Fit Dymo is $400, whereas the regular is $300. My personal opinion on this interchangeable stuff is gimmicky. You're better off learning how to hit a driver and developing a proper swing instead of having a poor swing and just compensating for it by fiddling with your club.

Have you hit them both? If not, I would suggest that you do (along with tons of others), then make a decision. I loved the R7 Driver, until I tried the Adams Speedline with an upgraded shaft. It worked the best for me.

Good call on the difference between the regular Dymo vs. the STR8-Fit. I meant to throw that out there earlier. It's your 2nd statement that I'm personally on the fence about. It's like some days, I'm agreeing with you 100% that the adjustibility that's being pushed now is gimmicky, but other times I see it as a big benefit. One thing I'm definitely NOT questioning is the value of learning a proper swing, and learning to work the shot using your swing, not a byproduct of the club adjustibility. I agree with you completely there. I think the biggest thing that has me wanting the STR8-Fit is the ability to adjust the loft, not the draw/fade bias adjustment. I could definitely see myself adjusting de-lofting prior to rounds where I know the wind will be blowing pretty well. I know a proper swing can work the shot high or low as well though.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
