I am in high school and was on the team during the 2007 season. I underwent a complete swing change and am looking to buy a new driver. The new nike sasquatch 5900 and 5000 have looked appealing to me. However, i had never had any sucess hitting a square driver. I've tried the the FT-I and Sumo 2 and cannot hit them at all. Does anyone else have problems with square drivers? Any tips on how to hit them? And why do so few pros use them?

I've tried them, but only into nets... most people say you WILL loose distance with them, that's one of the many reasons pros don't use them. Another being a loss in workability. I don't know why you don't hit them well, but there's nothing wrong with a regular shaped driver. Especially as a 12 handicap, you probably don't even need a square one. My advice would be to stick with what works... get the driver you hit the best with the swing you have.

    • There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:
    • I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 30 My typical ball flight is: push fade with iron The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push fade/slice and shank with irons Videos:       
    • Day 1 (17 Jun 26) - Starting the post over - even though I have not missed any days as I’m working as a volunteer instructor at the Jr Golf Camp primarily in short game area (putting/pitching/sand) - Monday - putting stroke and distance control; Tuesday - chipping from off the green with less than wedge (7-9 irons); Today - getting out of bunkers (focusing on splashing the sand underneath the ball) - been a full three days.
