I am currently trying to decide between the Nike Sumo2, and the Nickent 3DX Square. Does anyone have any opinions, good or bad, about either? Around here, the Nike is costing $199, and the Nickent I can get for $90. Thanks for the help for a new golfer!

If it's last years model, I would tell you to pass on the Nike. This year's new model is so much better. I've read good things on the Nickent, but cant say that ive ever personally tried it...

Both driver heads are virtually the same. (In terms of makeup).

If you're the type of person who does not switch driver's every four months, then I would suggest getting the Nickent, spending money on puring process and getting the shaft that performs precisely for your swing.

Thanks for the input guys! I was set to by the Nike, however I hit a Nickent today at a local Nevada Bob's. He felt solid, and not as loud as the NIke. I just was not sure if there was a noticeable difference in forgiveness or distance between the two. The Nickent is certainly less expensive, but I can honestly say that I have not seen anyone in the upstate of SC swing one of their drivers.

It's a matter of personal preference, just because nobody else hits it, doesn't mean you shouldn't. Maybe it just didn't suit them the way it does you.

That is why it is less expensive, not that many people know about it. I agree with the others and say if it feels good, pocket the savings or splurge on a shaft fitting/upgrade.

A lot can be said for the $90 club if you hit it well. That cost savings can absorb the expense of reshafting later if you wanted.....you'd still come out lower.

I've never hit either so I can't offer any objective opions on the specific clubs...sorry.

I went with the Sumo2 and have liked it a lot. The sound doesn't bother me when I am hitting more fairways. Like others have said, hit them and whatever works best, go with it.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
