Test of the nike womens sasquatch sumo 468 driver

Compared to the Sumo2 square driver, the Nike SasQuatch Sumo version had a much better feel at impact. This is probably due to the fact the head is titanium as opposed to composite. The Sumo is a big improvement on the Ignite in every area and of the two Sumo drivers, this is the one to go for in our books. Sign in or Register with Golfalot.

By Martin Hopley. Oct 10, The recall period will run until April Instead of spending a year and a half researching a groove issue resolved 20 years ago, how much more sense would it have made to set up and launch a periodic re-testing protocol? You can catch a glimpse of this test in the video on their website. This test is another way to measure how much the clubface deforms on impact.

This correlates to the previous coefficient of restitution test and limit of. Clearly in damage control mode, Wood said Nike Golf is going to conduct a voluntary testing and recall program to potentially serve as a model for how this situation may be handled in the future. If the reaction in our forum is any indication, it may at least cost some goodwill. Choi are in the clear. All those drivers have been individually tested in advance to make sure they conform to the Rules of Golf.

Wood said the new version has been submitted for USGA approval and he expects it to be on their conforming list by Monday, March I bought the Nike Sumo2 and love it. I wonder if they will have a recall as well since I have heard of many people commenting on TaylorMade and Callaway both having illegal drivers in the market.

This sucks for Nike, but at least they are proactive about it and trying to inform the general public about the mistake. And I agree about your groove comment…random inspections do need to occur on various products. The SQ2 you either pull or push, cannot be worked, and sound terrible.

I am engineer by trade, there is no way Nike did not know that some of the driver did not meet spec. When you put anything into production, you know there is going to be variations, and if you cannot control the variations during manufacturing, then you better give some wiggle room in your design.

Bottom line, either Nike is trying to cheat, or their manufacturing sucks. Either case is not good. Hello to all; what a bummer. I love my new Sumo2 too. Also do I take the driver back to where I bought it? And when I catch one, it just goes. Before getting the SQ, I probably averaged with an R7. Now I am more like with occasional blasts into the range. My only gripe is the headcover. Not how it looks but how hard it is to replace on the club. I had to brace the grip on the ground and use two hands to force the cover over the head.

A couple of rounds of that and the cover was history. I purchased the non-tour SQ a couple of months ago. I just got a Nike SQ I dont even notice the powerbow! Easily hit long and straight drives, even when I misshit it goes straight. Getting the headcover back on the club just takes some practise and a special technique.

After using it times the headcover goes on and off with ease. The SQ design is one of the best if not the best ive seen and felt yet. I used to have a Callaway Big Bertha and was hiting a high fade with that and then i switched over to the SQ tour and have being hitting a high draw ever since.

OK it took me about 2 weeks and a couple of lessons to get used to but now im hammering the ball slightly over yrds and I play off 19!!!!!!!!!!! I got the Nike Sasquatch Tour not too long ago, and I love it. I upgraded from a Cobra F-Speed, and noticed the difference within minutes of having the driver.

I averaged about a yard drive with my cobra, and jumped up to about yards average driving distance with the SasQuatch tour. You are right about the head making the shaft look shorter- It seems at least an inch shorter at setup.

And even being larger than most cc drivers, it is lighter and easier to hit. I would reccommend this driver to anyone reading this review. This driver is definetly not going to be improved on by too much in the years to come. I have a SasQuatch regular flex It is almost all that i have hoped for.

The problem is it gives me to much thought to hitting big. Sure, you can really go big and straight. Anothing problem is the size. Not the head size, i like that part, but the lenght is too big for me and im 5ft 4. Besides that, this club will never go out of style for im going to guess about 7 years.

I actually like the the look of the headcover, mine goes on the club fairly easily, my biggest problem is getting the headcover off. I bought the Nike Sasquatch I absolutely love it, I hit it straight almost every time. I am hitting it a bit farther also.

I love the sound and the weight of the driver is just perfect. I bought the Nike Sasquatch Tour 9. Great Driver!! Purchased the 9. Out on the course I was impressed. With some added work on my swing, the driver has surely improved my game. Time to go practice putting.
