Nike Machspeed Black, opinions?

[TheRichie]

im looking to get myself one, just wondering if any of you guys have any first hand exp with the club

[visiondr]

I really love mine. I have the "round" version rather than the square head. I had a fitting some time back and time after time, the Nike was the best club for me. The balance was perfect, distance was good, directional control was spot on and it has a handsome all-black look. My only minor problem with it is the sound it makes at impact. It's a bit "aluminum bat" for me; though it's a subtle difference. But, when I hit this baby on the screws, the ball sings its own tune!

how fast do you swing the club, im around 90mph and unsure weather to go for stiff or reg flex shaft

[visiondr]

I'm in the low 100s. The fitter recommended a stiff shaft. It seems to work.

[TheRichie]

will be going to the pro shop on tuesday will try both stiff and reg flex shafts with both shaped heads

[TheRichie]

came away with nike machspeed black square 10.5* reg flex shaft, hit it the best out of MSB pear, cobrs s3, TM R9, superfast burner 2.0

left the shop and headed to the range, need to get used to the lenth of the driver, but early signs are good, carrying 200yds uphill but after hitting so many balls focus started to drop cant wait to get it out on the course!!!

took this beast out today and had some very very good results, pb drive! 280yards, struggling with tee hieght, too high and it goes miles high to low and get no where just need to find the right balence!

You hit a 280 yard drive with a swing speed around 90 mph?

I need to go demo this driver.

I bought a Nike Machspeed. Its not the black. The thing is ugly in appearance and even uglier in sound. But it hits well and long. Im just having a problem getting over that sound from impact.

[TheRichie]

i love the sound it makes lol

I like the sound too but a 90 mph swing speed will not go 280 yards.  You have the yardage or the speed wrong.  Unless it was with the wind downhill then it is possible.
