I have the nike sumo 460, but the shaft is way too weak. I got the regular 3 years ago, and now it is ridiculous. How good is the head? I'm wondering if I should just reshaft or buy a whole new driver. BTW I really hate weighting. Thanks!

All I can say is that it's a buyer's market for new clubs.......now is the time to be looking around and trying new stuff.

Not sure....maybe someone will be able to respond for you. I just sold a Sumo 5900 that I gamed for a few months. Good correction, mildly workable, seemed to be best with shots from the upper portion of the face....shots below center were much less forgiving than with my previous driver...a G10.

Yeah, I think you should hit the market for a new driver. Great deals right now.
I have no idea about the Sumo head. But a 3 handicap friend recommended the SQ 5900 squarehead, and dissed the other Nike drivers (including the Dymos). That's his opinion anyway, I've never hit any.
My achievements:
Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18

I have the Nike Sumo original as well, and my regular shaft if too weak. A week ago I tried a Titleist 907D2 and the ball flew off that face wayy quicker then it did with the Sumo. I suggest looking for a new driver, if I wasn't leaving for school today I would look for one but I need to save my $$

technically speaking...yes

but there are a lot of factors that go into it i game the 907 D2 w a Pro Force V2 Stiff Shaft it has been pissing me off lately, I think it's on the chopping block for ebay lookin at Callaway now...maybe..i dunno....

I have the Sumo 5900. I love this club. It's not as far as some of the other clubs I hit (TM and Callaways), but I my shots were much more controlled. Since control is my biggest weakness with my driver, the Sumo won out. I am glad I chose it after going to the range today for the first time with it.

Before the square one, I used the 460 Sumo with Tour AD shaft. And, it was the best driver I ever had (feel and sound). I don't know if it was because of the shaft or the head.

I would buy something new if I were you. Just wait a couple of months and new models should be coming out, or buy a used one for less money.

What is in my Audi golf bag:
1. Ping I15 8 degree with Fubuki

2. Miura 15 degree with Fubuki

3. Titleist 18.5 degree with Tour AD

4. Ping G15 21 degree wood

5. Ping G15 23 degree Hybrid

6. Ping S56 P-5 iron with Project X 5.5

7. Miura Wedges with Project X5.5

8. Scotty Cameron Circa 62

9. Titleist Prov1 or Z-Star

My $0.02. Solid club. Does not have the most desirable sound nor is it the longest but it is super forgiving. Matched with the right shaft it can be lethal. I have a high loft 5900 series with X-stiff low launch shaft that is way more consistent and forgiving then any other driver that I have hit.

i just got rid of a 5900, got it cheap and it felt good in the store but once i got it out on the range the relationship was over. I think due to the shaft feeling weak, it was supposed to be a regular flex however it seemed to have alot of give to it.

no offense, but this is a stupid question.... the head is as good as anything else out there if YOU like it. Driver heads are all about personal preference, some work for person A others for person B. Personally, I liked the performance of the club if you could find it fitted with the Aldila VS proto or a V2. I however did not like the looks of the club. Anyway... whichever way you go, it should be about you, not what others tell you. Hit the club with a shaft you are thinking about, then hit a couple others clubs, buy what YOU like best... easy decision.
My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
