I hit Adams irons/hybrids, but the 2H I ordered is looking like it might not show up anytime soon. I've always hit the Nike Hybrids well and have been thinking about getting the Nike Sumo2 Hybrid instead of waiting. Has anyone hit the 17* Hybrid? Good, bad, ugly?

Thanks!

I have tried them out though not extensively, while the square look at address did not bother me the more than generous amount of offset did.

I actually played with a Nike Sumo 2 Square hybrid that was given to me for a while and really liked it off tee and fairway, but hated it out of rough. It was just too big and bulky. It 'looked' like a fairway wood, which bothered me, and it seemed to get caught in the thicker rough too much. With that said, it depends on what shots you want it for. It is more forgiving than most hybrids, but I only found it helpful on good lies. But that may just be me...

I own the #2 and #3 nike sumo squared hybrids and have since they first came out. Honestly these will be the only nike clubs I keep in my bag when I have fully upgraded.

Off the deck and off the tee I hit both solidly. I will agree with the statement about the thicker rough. Light rough it is fine if you need some serious distance, but anything with a bit of thickness an iron will play better out of.

Thanks for the good replies. Most appreciated. I'm looking at a 2H so the rough *shouldn't" be a factor..... And I play Adams, so the offset should be OK too.. Sometime not being very good has its advantages.

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
