What does everyone think about nike sq driver and fairway metals? I have read reviews on www.golfreview.com and found that everyone is saying that these club add 10-20 yards to all drives and great to hit the fairway woods off the deck and in the long grass. What does everyone here have to say abot these clubs???

I hit the driver for the first time last week and loved it. If it wasnt for the TM Superquad I would have bought it. Most people are turned off by its sound at impact, but the extra length and straightness took care of that issue. I have not tried the fairway woods though.

I have the SQ Tour (non SUMO) and love it. Traditional look (no huge power bow hanging out), long, and accurate. The SUMO must be incrediblely forgiving.

I love how the SQ feels, but MAN is the sound annoying! It's a little too "tinny" for me.

I have the sumo and I can tell you this. I've literaly tried every driver on the planet and for me this is the straightest easiest driver I've ever hit. I even hit it off the deck into par fives. This is not something that is ez to do but I've pulled off some amazing shots. I got mine with the proto shaft and it made all the differenct. I know technology and you can't beat this club for the price. buy it, hit it . enjoy it. DONE

If I saw this post a month ago, I would've replied back with some unnecessary/immature criticism about nike golf... Well look at what I have now....

It's a great club... The square version hits very straight but the noise was unbearable so I went with the regular sasquatch.. Had a Big bertha with a Rayon Bassara shaft before this and the sasquatch is a huge improvement..
I highly recommend getting one with the V2 Proforce shaft.

Also got the regular-shaped Sasquatch SUMO (stiff-flex, 9.5).
Chose this due to combination of distance/forgiveness/price.

Happier with this than any other driver I've tested.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
