Nike SasQuatch Sumo 460 Drivers

Nike SasQuatch Sumo 460 Drivers 

DESCRIPTION

Having won the Golf Digest Editor's Choice for drivers in 2006, it was no doubt a challenge to improve on the original all titanium SasQuatch driver. What made the original great, makes the new SasQuatch Sumo even better - a new NIKE PowerBow geometry results in a higher MOI of 4950g cm2 vs. 4650g cm2. Therefore, SasQuatch Sumo delivers even more distance and forgiveness.

Very good driver. This driver had a nice blend of distance, forgivness and workability. I like the look, sound and feel.

As with any club make sure you get the loft/shaft that is best for your game.

I got this club in as new condition for $69.00 at a local discount store.

Hi, bought the sumo used for $100.00 canadian this spring and have hit 36 holes with it. I like the distance i now get, average 280, sometimes over 300 and my longest is 320. Very forgiving on miss hits(250 or so) and extremely straight,only missed 2 fairways out of 28. Before i was lucky to be 50% on my fairways. I will keep this one for awhile,even if i upgrade later on. Plus it looks great at address.

Model Reviewed: Nike SQ Sumo 2

First day I tried it, I hit it the first hole and was ready to sell it, the sound was terrible, I noticed some good roll but hit it terrible, during the round I used the original sasquatch, Next day, I hit the 6 out of 10 fairways compared to 8 out of 10 so not bad for second day,
I plan to go to the range with it, funny thing is 3 people in the group hit the driver and 2 loved it so much, They never pulled out their drivers out of their bags... They all agreed it was the best driver they have hit and one is buying one tomorrow... You forget the sound when your driving the ball 300 yards consistently...

This is an awesome driver!!
If your looking for distance, this driver is THE ONE! I crank this 300+ on many occasions. I have the 9.5 loft with the stiff shaft which is perfect for my 115-117mph head speed.

This is the best driver I have ever hit. It has a great feel and gives me so much confidence when I step up to the tee. The ball really launches off the face. I went to a local golf store and hit this Nike driver and the Taylor Made Burner and I decided to with the Nike. It just has a better feel and a little longer distance (for me). I found it on Ebay brand new for a little over $100.

Model Reviewed: Nike SQ SUMO 460

This club was my first major driver purchase: Nike SQ SUMO 460cc....10.5 loft....with a R flex diamana shaft option. overall its a fair club. The major thing that it is lacking is firmness. This club is very flimsy, even a stiff shaft is flimsy. When Nike brought out the newer model SUMO 5000 and 5900 that's one area in which they didn't upgrade(after using demo range at 2009 Columbus Golf Show). Confidence at your address can be difficult due to these clubs possibly being over "workable". As compared to some of its competition, EX: taylormade burner, or callaway X series....which has a firmer feel at address. Nike did a great job with head design on this club in making something unique. The titanium face offers great resistance. This club is also very light weight which allows for a harder swing. But with the shaft options being so flimsy it can be difficult to make square contact with the ball, especially if you have a faster downswing. If you decide to purchase this club, i highly recommend you go with x-stiff shaft, or possibly one of the other shaft options that come with this club such as the Aldila (which whom makes very flimsy shafts for Adams golf products) or the UST pro-force option. Overall, its a fair club which would best benefit the slow swing speed golfer. If you are a person who likes to "bomb it down the fairway," you might want to consider buying then re-shafting, or going with a firmer club option.

Model Reviewed: Nike Sasquatch Sumo Driver 16*

I AM 64 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HAVE A SLOW SWING (77 MPH) SO I NEED MORE LOFT IN MY CLUB. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE 16* WITH THE REGULAR SHAFT AND I'M NOT GIVING THIS CLUB UP. I HIT 100 GOLF BALLS INTO A LAUNCH MONITOR AND HERE ARE MY RESULTS.

1)- ALL BALLS ENDED UP ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE TARGET (NO SLICES SINCE I HIT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE).

2)- MY AVERAGE LAUNCH WAS 17*

3)-MY AVERAGE BALL SPEED WAS 103 MILES PER HOUR.

4)- MY AVERAGE DISTANCE WAS 165 YARDS AND MY AVERAGE ROLL WAS 19 YARDS.

5)- THIS CLUB AND MONITOR GAVE ME A LOT OF IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK BECAUSE IT TOLD ME THAT ME THAT I HAVE A TENDENCY TO HIT DOWN ON THE THE BALL RATHER THAN "SWEEPING" THE BALL. I ALSO NEED TO ADJUST MY SWING TO HIT THE BALL ON THE UPWARD SWING. I ALSO NEED TO INCREASE MY LAUNCH ANGLE FROM 17 DEGREES TO ABOVE 20 DEGREES.

I'M THINKING VERY SERIOUSLY ABOUT BUYING THE 13* CLUB, GOING TO A SENIOR FLEX, AND GETTING THE CLUB LENGHT REDUCED TO 44" FOR BETTER CONTROL.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THERE'S A LOT OF CONSISTENCY WITH THIS CLUB AND IF ANYBOBY IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH SLICING, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER THIS CLUB.

Launch simlator, i took my 5 drivers, 1st place Sasquatch sumo 4950 w/ diamana stiff 8.5, with 17 launch / 3000 spin, 270-290 very consistent. best numbers of the group, shorter shaft imho.
2nd Orilmar 420 8.5 NV-55 x-stiff - lowwer launch and spin 270-300 yards will use calm days. big distance
3rd KZG 395 9.0. Harrison tour 70 stiff, knuckle balls- tee to high. might have to try again with lower tee height.
4th MOI 455 Darkside 9.0 with accuflex creation 80 stiff. Fitting guy really liked this black head and shaft, change shaft to 65 creation for higher launch. very tight.
5th KE4 10.5 with proforce 75 x-stiff, shortest might have to due to 44.5 shaft length. other shafts 45.5 length.

use MOI Intruder 460 9.0 v2 75- stiff last year, i did not listen to the fitter and went with the long drive head when i needed to change to little closed face to help my power fade. so all clubs tried were closed a little.

Customer Service

i called Nike they have a service if interested to change shafts for less than local shops but limited top names and weights.

Model Reviewed: Nike SQ Sumo (Not The Square)

I've been a constant Nike Fanatic ever since Tiger got his contract from them. All I could ever think about is trying to keep up with the best products from them. I've went from the Nike Ignite 460cc to the Nike SQ 10.5 with an Adilla NV 65g stiff shaft. This was my favorite driver until the next years model of the Nike SQ Sumo, I went to one of the PGA Tour Superstore and went to the pre-owned section and saw this driver for $109!!! What a deal was this?

It looked as if it were hit three times when i bought it, and the same day i bought it i hit 13/14 fairways compared to my average of 8 or 9. I was consistently longer by 15-25 yards, and as a 16 year old kid right now i am hitting the ball consistenly 300+. That day i ended up shooting my best round ever of a 62 shooting 29 on the front nine!

I can mis-hit this driver and it will still go 280-290 which isn't to bad for a mis-hit. I definitely recommend this drive to anyone that plays golf and getting the right setup is everything.

I have also enthused one of our other top golfers on our team to buy this driver and he is consistenly staying up with me. The shaft in this Nike is a Diamana Yellow Board X-Stiff Shaft (since i swing 110-120mph) with a 9.5 degree this gives a perfect flight for any condition.

This is one of the top clubs i have ever used and i have gotten many players even my father to buy one. So this is a great club for everyone.
