I bought a 3 wood in the beginning of 2008. i tested a bunch, i actually went in thinking i was going to get the sumo2 3w. personally i did not like it all that much. did not seem as long or forgiving as the burner. I ended up testing a callaway, nike and taylormade and got the burner. That said, when i got on the course with it i couldnt hit it straight for anything. i took it out of my bag for a while and late summer i put it back in after more practice. my swing got alot better during the year because i was practicing and playing more golf. When i started using it again it became one of my favorite clubs to hit. Straight most of the time with a slight fade others. almost always in the fairway. I dont think either are bad clubs, it comes down to personal preference. I am a high handicapper and i think confidence in equipt has alot to do with it for us.

wow thats some SS. 120 is faster then Mickelson was doing last weekend in the skins game. I am lefty too so i feel your pain with finding equip. All depends on what you want to spend. Shafts can range from $40 to $300 or more. I would go back to the place you got your swing speed tested at and ask to hit some different clubs or try to different shafts.

I went and got fitted for a driver last weekend and according to the machines i somehow lost about 9mph on my swing. I am now down to 91 mph swing speed. Last time when i got the Sumo2 i was right around 100 on the launch monitor. that was about 1 year ago. I guess i just either have a more controlled swing or since i stopped going to the gym i just lost some strength. Anyway, i need to drop to Regular flex now. I am not going to make any change until next season since i am done playing golf for this year (nj, way to cold!). I am going to practice on my swing at the range and maybe take a lesson or 2 so i can become a more consistent ball striker with the driver. After that i will go get refitted and find a shaft or a different driver that suits my swing best.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was planning on going to my local golf galaxy to get a driver fitting but i wanted to go in there with some stuff in mind to try. I mean there are so many different shafts, i was just wondering if people have success with some more then others. I did read the new golf digest about anthony kims 44.5" driver shaft and i am about the same size hight as him so that got me thinking about giving that a shot with the current shaft to see what its like. just to clarify, cutting a shaft down generally makes the shaft stiffer? If so i would go with an R like a person mentioned correct?

Hi all, I will tell you a little about my swing and some of the issues i am having with the driver. I have been playing alot of golf and i have every club in my bag going straight except the Driver. I currently have the Nike Sumo2 5300MOI. With this club i mostly hit a little fade to a big slice. On the rare occation i hit it straight its pretty long. The stock shaft is currently in the club in S flex. My SS is around 100 MPH. I am looking for suggestions on if you think a Shaft change would help keep the ball a little strighter. Any suggestions would help. Also i need to know if this driver has a .335 or .350 tip. my other thought is getting a Burner because i have those in my 3 wood and 3 and 4 hybrids and i think the 2* closed faces help me keep those clubs straight. All suggestion greatly appreciated!

I had to go with Jack on this 1. I think technology has helped all golfers today and that helps all current players. I cant believe people actually hit the ball long and straight during Jacks time of dominance

I have been using the Noodle+ and i like it alot. Not too much money and it seems to work well for me.

I have the Sumo 2 and i do like it but i dont think its any straighter then the other drivers.
