I'm looking at getting a Nike Sumo with a Proforce V2 shaft, anyone have anything good or bad to say about either? I'm about a 7 handicap with a swing speed around 95ish. There may have been a thread about either or both of these but i'm too lazy to look.

What do you guys think?

i had a sumo2 with the stock shaft, i hit the v2 into a net and it felt like a total different animal. i now have a hibore with a v2 shaft and absolutly love it. much better weight and feedback. it lets me know when i make a bad swing.

In my wasabe green ozone bag:

Hibore 9.5° w/ UST V2 Stiff Shaft Driver

G10 15° 1H w/ UST V2 Stiff Shaft G10 18° 2H w/ UST V2 Stiff Shaft T-Zoid Pro 3-PW S300 CG10 52° 2 Dot Black Pearl CG10 56° 2 Dot Black Pearl Newport 2 TerylliumLow Score = 88

proforce v2 with any head will be good, cause the shaft is what make your club work, so any clubhead will be good.

sorry for slightly hijacking this thread but how much does it cost you guys to change shafts, I was looking to change my hybrid to an Aldila NV and i was told it would cost 140 euro and i was just wondering was this robbery?

The more I practise the luckier I get!

I got my driver reshafted for about 80 USD at Roger Dunn's, the shaft it self cost about $60 and getting it done cost $20. I don't know if you are getting ripped of because I don't know the price of the shaft, but I would suggest checking the MSRP and that will tell you if you are getting ripped off or not.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
