Nike SasQuatch Sumo Driver Golf Club

I have a single digit handicap and like all golfers is always searching for that extra 10 or 20 yards on the drive. I had been playing with the original Nike Sasquatch 9.5 degree (stiff) driver and was curious about their next generation drivers from Nike. With all the buzz about MOI (moment of inertia), I figured that it could only help to upgrade. I wasn't totally happy with my current driver because it would consistently fade to the right even on my most solid drives, my average drive was between 250 and 260 yds. I just didn't feel like I had as much accuracy or consistency as I should. Before the upgrade, I decided to go through some newer technology testing with "HOTSTIX" and "SHAFTLAB" analysis. Surprisingly, after playing stiff shafts for over 15 years, the analysis indicated that I would be best served with a regular shaft and higher loft to maximize the launch angle. This "insight" went totally against what I had been told in the past, even from a few pros that did club fittings for me. Evidently, swing speed is not the only criteria when choosing a shaft, but how I generated that swing speed was more important. It was noted that I generated my swing speed not with a quick sudden burst (i.e. very fast tempo), but from the culmination of the swing arc over the entire swing plane. So, a stiff shaft was actually too "stiff" for my swing and as a consequence, the clubhead never came around properly through the ball and lagged behind causing all my drives to go right. I decided to purchase the Nike Sasquatch Sumo with a 10.5 degree regular shaft from ebay for about $200. I chose the Sumo over the Sumo 2 because of some reviews I read from the golf magazines that indicated that it would be the wiser choice for better golfers whereas the Sumo 2 would be best for those looking for game improvement (high handicappers). I immediately exchanged the original shaft to the one recommended from the shaftlab analysis; prolaunch blue regular. I have to say, I am driving more accurately and longer than I've ever been in my life. When I hit my drives in the perfect center of the club face, my drives now consistently go 300 yds straight or with a slight draw! Off-center drives still get me about 85% to 90% of the distance. This MOI stuff really works and I can't complain about the added distance. I would recommend this driver to any golfer from novice to pro (Tiger woods uses this same head, but with a fancier shaft). If you are serious about your golf, I would highly recommend spending a few extra bucks on launch angle and shaft analysis. You will definitely not regret it, I know I haven't!
