Having recently hit both drivers quite a bit I did not see any significant differences in the 2 drivers from a performance perspective. I hit both of them on a simulator and launch monitor. The Dymo was perhaps a little less forgiving, but I'm not even sure about that. The 2 things you are not concerned with are the only real differences that I could tell. The sound and look are both better in my opionion with the Dymo (I hate the look and sound of the SQ Sumos).

For the most part you are not going to find a new driver that is truly much longer than another new driver. If you find a big difference it's going to be more because of the shaft and/or a difference in the launch conditions for you.

I cant comment on the regular Dymo, but I did pickup the Dymo Str8-Fit this weekend to replace my SQ Sumo 5000. I do it again in a heartbeat. I loved my 5000, but with this switch, I went from reg to stiff, and I know that's got a lot to do with why I feel so much better with the Dymo in hand. The face feels equally as hot, or maybe hotter than the 5000. After my round yesterday, I was looking at the face of the Dymo, and I noticed that I hit a few a little off-center. The funny thing is, I missed very few fairways yesterday, and the ones I did miss weren't by much. And everything was pretty long.

Of course I cant really make a fair comparision, because of having a different shaft in the 5000. I really felt like that added to some of my inconsistency with it. But when I was hitting that thing well, it was very nice. I know more of the problem was me than it was that club, but the purchase of the Dymo happened in conjunction with me getting some of my swing faults worked out, so that's probably adding to me being on such a high about this driver.

Oh yeah, and the price on the Dymo and the Dymo Str8-Fit just dropped $100 at pretty every store near me, so that may be more of a reason to go with the newer model.

I just recently bought the 5900 SQ Sumo, and had a different shaft put on it (cant remember off hand).

I'm still getting used to it, but each round I seem to be getting a little more consistent. I wouldnt say the driver is longer than other drivers I've played or tested (including the Dymo), but the ball does seem to go straighter a little easier.

But one thing I've learned with all my clubs (I upgraded from crappy clubs to very good ones recently after saving for a long time for them), is that if you make a bad swing your going to get a bad result, I dont care what kind of driver, iron or wedge you hit.

IF, I had to do it all over again, I probably would've paid the extra money and bought the DYmo St8-Fit. The large square face (at least right now) has me overthinking a little bit, and possibly even overconfident that I dont focus on making a great swing.

But the 5900 Sumo was less than half the price. Hopefully I"ll continue to get longer and more consistent with it.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
