Diamana shaft in Nike Sumo2

[jhawker23]

Can anyone tell me what Diamana shaft comes in the Nike Sumo2 driver and fairway woods? I'd like to research the shaft options further but can't seem to find details other than you can order it with a Diamana shaft.

Even better, do any of you have these woods and if so, what shaft did you choose and why? I currently play a Cobra 414 Comp driver with the pro force v2 65 shaft and I really don't care for it. I liked the driver better with the stock shaft.

I have a swing speed varying from 102 - 105.

It is a 'designed especially for nike' shaft by diamana (i.e. not a blueboard, whiteboard etc). I personally feel it is a little too whippy for it's specified flex. I spoke to a clubmaker a while ago and he said that shafts made 'especially' for a driver are usually poor quality. I could be wrong but thats my opinion on it. By the way I play the round version, I'm assuming the square model has the same shaft.

Wow, I can not believe this, but I love the Sumo2 5900 and the 3 wood for that matter. I saw the deal for the free fairway wood with the purchase of the driver in another older post and thought I would check it out because I was actually only looking for a new fairway wood.

Unbelievable... I had always walked by those huge squares and rolled my eyes. I'm all for technology, but I thought moving into a square driver head was beyond my comfort level. I'm very consistent off the tee and play for accuracy not distance. I was hitting 260. Effortless drives are now carrying 275 to 280 and feel GOOD. I have the 9.5 w/ Aldila Stiff shaft. Great shaft!! I can pass on the Diamana but that was all that came in the fw wood. I'll be changing that out.

If anyone reading this is even considering another driver or fw wood, check out the 5900, for $199 w/ driver and fw wood, that can't be beat. I am shocked and grateful at the same time. Thank you to whoever listed this deal in their post. Between these two clubs, I'm sure they're worth 3 -4 strokes a round.

I was only able to get in 6 holes before the weather moved in, but from the tee, they were great holes.

At the shops here around me you can find it with the UST Pro Force V2, Diamana BB (the real one) as well as the normal stock shafts.

Are you talking about the FW woods? They may have had them at one time in the stores around Denver. I guess they started the sale here last Sunday. There was very little left for selection and I would have just ordered them had they not had the 9.5 with the proto shaft which is exactly what I wanted.

I have the V2 in my old driver and plan on changing out the FW shaft. I didn't see anywhere online offering a different shaft in the FW woods, all diamana. But it could be they are all sold out of the others.

Both FW woods and driver.

I know the main shop I do my shopping at has pretty much every new club in a variety of options, from shafts to flexes. They actually stock x flex which is rare to find, 95% of shops don't stock them, just order them when a customer wants one.

Nice, I haven't found a shop of that quality here yet, but I'm an hour north of Denver so I'm sure they are out there in Denver, I just don't know where yet.

I'm not usually a fan of big box stores, but I'm a supporter of Golf Galaxy. I can't believe the difference in service from the Golfsmith store down the road. I have not had one positive experience with Golfsmith stores. I don't understand how every salesperson I've ever talked to at a GS store has had an attitude. G.G. sales have always been excellent and knowledgable. I've gotten a little off topic...

Yeah the shop I do business at isn't a big box store...there is only 1 store that exists and it was opened and is still run by the husband and wife.
