Nike SQ Sumo2 5900 delivers

I got a great deal on Ebay on this club ($82)and figured it was worth a shot. I had used and liked the Sumo 2 460 but my 13 year old liked it even more so into his bag it went. I'm a 46 yr old recreational golfer who has only recently returned to the game. My handicap at this moment is probably around 14. When I first got my 5900 I struggled some off the tee. My usual swing speed and ball placement would end up with a wicked top spin that drove the ball into the ground 75 yards in front of the tee box. After some adjustment to my swing that involved loosening my grip a little more,teeing up higher and moving slightly closer to the ball the true strengths of this club started showing. I'm now driving the ball down the center of fairways and, according to my skycaddie SG5, usually in the 255-280 yd range. With my Taylormade Burner I could sometimes get 270 or so but most of the time it was left or right of center. I never knew for sure where it was going to end up. The 5900 isn't foolproof but it's pretty darn close with a consistent swing. It's showing to be much more forgiving on my non-consistent strokes as well. Even a poorly hit drive can give me 210-220 yards and most times still in the fairway, enough to salvage some par 4's and 5's. I find I can work the ball to the right w/o too much trouble but turning it to the left,while possible, is not easy for me with my outside/in swing tendency. But hey..this club was made to hit it straight, not for working it left and right,and for that I think you will find the 5900 to be a good choice. The club is relatively light,has a good balanced feel,and I found the square head to be a pretty easy adjustment. The sound of the 5900, compared to the 460, is more muffled and "driver like" but I never found either to be that bothersome as long as the drives were going where I wanted! For me, the 5900 is a 5 out of 5.
