This is without a doubt the BEST driver I have EVER owned! I'm 67 yrs old and have played on and off for 40 years. You CANNOT hit it very crooked. Stop with the nonsense about somebody who shoots in the 90's not being able to work the ball. If they could work the ball, they wouldn't shoot in the 90's. Rumor was Tiger hit it TOO STRAIGHT! So, since he couldn't work it, he gave it up. The dope! He can't even hit a fairway currently. Anyway, I pump this out there 225 yds time after time. None of this BS about I drive 300 yds, but I shoot in the 90's crap. The manual on how to adjust it is a liitle confusing, but once you get it, you'll have it. Also, I almost NEVER get in to game improvement items. Usually BS. But, this actually works. Made my Taylormade R9 460 adjustable feel like a bunch of crap. Sold the Taylormade right away.

I HAD, HAD being the key word, HAD been playing a TaylorMade 2007 Burner for the past 3 years. Went through 3 different shafts in the TM over those years, and could never get it dialed in but still loved the club head nad hot face. I always tried to make it work for me and never really found anything else that came close. I am a single digit handicap and the most inconsistent part of my game is driving and finding fairways with the driver. It has gotten so bad that I have gone to driving and teeing off with my 4 hybrid for safety of finding the fairway and dealing with 230-240 off the tee, with that hybrid. I have been living in fear of my driver until last week. Last week I broke doown and went to PGA Tour Superstore in search of a new driver. Thought I had my mind set on a Tour Edge Exotics, until I hit it, didn't like it. Also thought I liked the Cobra S91, so much in fact that I bought it and have been playing it for the last week - didn't like the muted feel and feedback it gave plus the Aldila shaft was crap. Took that Cobra driver back today, hit the Tour Edge Exotics XLD, didn't like it, hit the Callaway Diablo, didn't like it, hit the Ping G-15, liked it but didn't love it especially at $299.00.......then I came across a Nike STR8-FIT Dymo Driver 9.5 Regular flex for $189.00.....had the face taped up and went into the bay to do work. I was plenty warmed up from hitting everything else and seriously thought I was going to hate this club, never have liked Nikes. From the first drive I was hooked. It was the straightest drive I had hit out of the past 40 drives with 3-4 different drivers. Thought it was a fluke so drove another one...same exact ball flight - right down the middle with the perfect trajectory, not balooning and to high and not real low, just perfect. The sound the driver makes didn't even bother me because I couldnt get over the ball flight and consistency I was getting. I looked the driver over and noticed it was on the most neutral of settings which was perfect for my swing - but since I have had it home I have changed it through all 8 settings just to see what they look. Using the wrench that beeps is sweet, and so easy. Just knowing that it is going to be that easy to change it through 8 different settings to suit whatever may be going on with my swing gives me so much confidence in this club. I can't wait to get out and play tomorrow. I know I will find more fairways with this and get back that distance I was losing from having to play hybrids off the tee all the time. For now, I am 100% sold on this club and can see it being in my bag for a long time.

It is long and straight. Easy to work the ball. One of the best drivers I've hit.Making adjustments with shaft is an added benefit. Well done Nike.

Taylor Made R7 remains one of the best ever!

I'm a high handicapper who has played with sub par equipment for years, and have recently decided to invest in some better sticks. I got this driver on ebay ($96) and I must say I am very pleased with the Nike Dymo2.


You can believe what you've heard - this is a very straight club. I had a noticeable slice with my previous 460cc driver. Without changing anything on my swing, I immediately noticed that the Nike was much straighter. Yes, some balls still moved left to right, but not nearly as much. I even noticed that I could line my feet up almost right at the target line and hit a nice straight ball with only a bit of left to right movement (unlike my previous driver where I would compensate for my slice by aiming left and having it come around - sometimes WAY around)


Must have hit 50 balls at the range just with this club, and the majority would have been in the fairway on most courses. Of the mis hits, most would have been in play but off the fairway, and yes, I hung a few out to the left that would have been trouble. But all in all, one of the best driving range sessions I can remember.

Ball is hot off the face. I can't say I picked up much distance from other drivers, but that's ok with me - I'm happy getting similar distance with much less dispersion.

Some reviewers have commented that the ball balloons on them with this club - I did not have that experience using a 10.5 loft, but I've always been a low ball hitter so take that for what its worth.

Overall, I am looking forward to many second shots from the fairway thanks to the Dymo2. Since they can now be had for under $100 used on eBay, they are defintely worth a look.

Normally I fade my drives with the occasional straight ones and draws. With the Dymo2 I feel like I can keep my drives straight more consistently. With the str8-fit, I know that I can adjust the setting to fit my game without having to go buy another driver.

Bought and tried this out several weeks ago...couldn't find the right combo so put it back and continued hitting my Cally standby. Got it back out friday just to give it one more try and WOW...I could not believe the difference...Once I got it tuned in on the correct setting for me, it jsut far exceeded my hopes.

Just got this club. I heard about Tiger saying it’s too straight. I don't believe it. This sounds like marketing hype to me ("Play the driver that Tiger says is TOO straight for his game!"). But after using it, I think I see what he meant if he did say it.

I swing inside-out pretty consistently. When I hit the ball well, I tend to play a slight draw. And every once in a while I hit one of those funny big toe draws that feel awful on contact (because—duh--you hit it off the toe), but you look up and it starts off way out to the right and comes back around to the center of the fairway and rolls forever and looks beautiful and everyone on the tee box but you thinks you must be some sort of highly skilled driver of the golf ball and you’re the only one who know that you basically got lucky because you hit it like crap but the clubhead twisted back, snapped through and corrected your mistake.

Why am I telling you this? Because so far this is the only way I can play a draw with this club. And instead of a big draw like I describe above, it’s a tiny little draw that moves about one mower-stripe on the fairway. That’s fine, but it does tell you something about this driver.

And I haven’t told you this to brag about my ball-striking. Like most 10-15 handicappers, I hit lots of bad drives. That’s why I bought the squared version of this driver. My most common problem is not firing my hands at the right time--meaning my mistakes tend to be either big hooks or hangers out to the right because I left the face open. So far my experience with this driver is that it mostly corrects those hooks (turning them into slight-but-playable pulls)—and does nothing to those hangers. In fact, the fact that this driver seems to be a good 15-20 yards longer than my old Callaway Biggest Big Bertha means that I hang them WAAAAY out to the right.

But this is a problem I can live with. It allows me to play my drives focusing on one thing: fire the hands. If I do that, the ball goes pretty straight. But like I said, so far I just cannot draw the ball with this club. Good drives are either straight or a very slight fade. (I read a professional review online in which the reviewer said the same thing, so apparently this isn’t just me.)

So in general, I think I’d recommend this club, with a caveat: get the Str8 Fit version. I didn’t because I didn’t want to spend that much, but I already wish I had, because I would set it up to help me draw the ball a bit, since I’m obviously not capable of doing it myself with this thing. I’ve generally kind of looked at “draw” drivers as low-level cheating in the past, but in this case it actually seems to be the game-improvement aspect of the club that I need a bit of help to get around.

So that’s the main thing. But here are a couple of other minor points:
1. The driver is BIG. If you’ve got a driver made in the last few years it probably won’t look that big to you, but it looks absolutely ridiculously huge to me after playing my old driver. I’m still getting used to that.
2. The driver is LOUD. Some have said obnoxiously so. And I’ll admit that when I hit an entire small buck of balls with this club on the range to get a feel for it, I would not have wanted to be the guy next to me. But on the course, where you’re gonna hit the thing 10-12 times a round, who cares? Nobody ever got a penalty stroke for their driver being too loud, and it’s not significantly different from any other newer drivers I’ve heard (from 4 holes away (while I was putting (for birdie))).
3. The Nike shaft is a bit weak for a stiff-flex shaft. I’m no gorilla. Traditionally good drives for me go about 250-260 yards. I could probably count the number of 300-yard drives I’ve hit in my life on one hand while wearing mittens. But this shaft is definitely weaker than the stiff flex Aldila shaft that was on my BBB. I can’t imagine very many people needing the regular shaft. And I may get a different shaft for mine.

I did not see this one coming. I did not care too much for my Sumo SQ2 driver, But thought I would give Nike a second chance. After a few buckets of range balls. I purchased STR8-FIT Dymo 9.5 with an aldila VooDoo xvs6 shaft.It has been great right out of the box. I yet to adjust it at all.

I don't submit reviews very often unless a product has utter satisfied or dissatisfied me, and in this case I could not be happier. I read somewhere that Tiger Woods didn't like this driver because it was too straight. Well that is just what the doctor ordered for me. From my initial session at the driving range and through several rounds now, I have been totally amazed at how straight my shots go. My irons and metal woods always move left or right a bit, but unless there is a breeze, my drives go on a frozen rope. It's almost like watching a video game. There have been times at the driving range that I literally laughed with joy watching my ball carry on low arch out to the end of the range. I won't profess 300+ yard drives or any such fantasy, but for the first time since I started playing a couple years ago I am hitting past 250 consistently. I wish I could play the club for every shot. It's just amazing to me. My only beef is with the shaft. The stock UST is a little noodle-like even in the stiff make. I'm eying an Aldila NV-75 to keep the launch low and controlled.
