Recently, I got to give the new SQ Sumo 5000 (driver) a test drive.
Now, I am King Cobra kind of guy...but I have never hit a ball that far and straight. Capped out at 369 yards. I guess I have to buy it now!

Any other reviews out there on this club....??

369, that's a kinky number to hit a ball

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

You learn how to generate power and let it go all at the right moment.

This is so true. When a friend mentioned to me that the mechanics of a baseball swing are almost identical to a golf swing, I became much more consistent. That, along with the "imagine your going to right field" helped tremendously.

190+ ball speed...with some work you might win 250K next year at Remax.

not trying to be a smart azz, I like the Sumo Square (my 11 year old son has a Lucky 13 and hits it about 210).

Anyway...you were probably swinging a little slower and letting the club "do the work" and hitting it on the screws.

Start swinging like a gorrilla and it will be less accurate than your 3 iron...really.

Are we mistaking the 5000 (pear shaped) for the 5900 (square)?. I'm interested in buying one of these but hear the square launches quite high. Any comments or advice would be great.

I just bought the Nike SQ Sumo 5000 yesterday; 10.5 deg. loft, it is the pear shaped NOT the Sumo Square. I had a last year's Sumo Square [weird ka-ching sound!!]

I hit 40 balls at the range yesterday...not too bad, today will be its first real test on the course..
The SUMO 5000 is a more traditionally round-shaped driver with a deep-face profile. This gives golfers the freedom to shape the ball or hit it long and straight. The PowerBow design strategically positions weight in the club head to optimize the center of gravity location.

From looking at the 5000 in stores, I find that the grip is quite small/narrow feeling. Anyone else find this?

Edited to add...

Is the SQ 5000 face closed or square? I can't find anything on the net about it

      Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

      We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
