Is anyone playing with Nike SUMO hybrids?

If anyone is using these, I am curious how they perform from the rough.

I shoot a 3 and a 4 Sumo2 hybrid, and they are a nice club. My home course that I play 80% of the time doesn't have a "true" rough, so as to say the grass isn't that much longer than the fairway grass, part reason being the "rough" area is littered w/ trees..... that being said, when hitting these clubs from the "rough" or on the fairway, they are a sweet swinging and nice hitting club.

On the few occassions that I have hit from somewhat lengthy grass (on a different course) they didn't seem to lose any pop or much distance what so ever........

They're more then fine. The course that I play a lot is really small maintenance staff wise and its really cheap to play, so a lot of the time the fairway is like the rough of a better maintained course. From my experience, the SUMO2 is fine out of the short-medium rough, but once you get into the real deep stuff, I'd stick to a five iron (or whatever club you use for that matter) to punch it out.

Performance wise the club is perfect. I love it off the tee. I'm hitting it 230+ consistently and straight so there's a much bigger reward (being in the fairway) with a lot less of the risk associated with the driver. From the fairway its great, it makes par 5's at around 480-500 yards reachable in maybe two and if not I'm left with a real short pitch to the green.

I have a sumo 1 and sumo2 2+3 - the 2+3 are solid wherever I hit them - I do occasionally pop a couple up out of the rough but I think thats my issue.

The 1 hybrid I struggle with a bit - get some great tee shots but have problems with it on the fairway and in the rough.

agreed....... I hit them the same way, and probably play on a course similar to yours in that the "rough" is more of a short-medium rough........... but yes, on a par 5 or long par 4 and w/ that second shot so crucial its nice to have these guys in your bag.............
