Nike SasQuatch Sumo 2 review

Price: £319.00

The Nike SasQuatch Sumo 2 is a square-shaped driver, which aims to provide maximum forgiveness on mis-hits thanks to a very high moment of inertia that reduces clubhead twist on off-centre contact.

Design and Tech Benefits

SUMO stands for Super Moment of Inertia, in which clubhed weight distribution is optimised for maximum performance. This should make the clubhead more stable and reduce the extent to which the head will twist off-line on mis-hits.

Golf Monthly Verdict

The looks and sound of the driver may not appeal to all, especially those of a more conservative disposition. But the levels of forgiveness are second to none, giving you the confidence to really go after your drives.

Nowadays a club that is a couple of years old has been superseded by at least two newer models. But that doesn't mean it should be overlooked. Instead you can pick up good ones that have been traded in for the very latest versions at pro shops or hunt around for one on the likes of Ebay. Either way you can pick up a bargain. And let's face it, just about everyone keeps their driver in good condition so they are almost as good as new.

Yes the dubious looks and the horrible sound at impact take a round or three to, well not get used to, more learn to ignore! But you will get over them because driving is all about results and this club hits it straight. Is it because of the MOI or just because the straight edges of the club head promote better alignment? Who knows. It just works.

I wouldn't say it is spectacularly long. But of course being straighter it ends up feeling long and sets you up for an easier second shot. And I don't believe I get much feel off the club but then is that important in a driver?

I have always had a tendency to hit a fairly high flight on my drives and so opted for a Sumo 2 that was 8.5 degrees and had a stiff shaft. Even this I still hit relatively high, and less lofted face proved no problem in terms of sidespin.

So probably not a club for purists or golfers who like to work the ball with fade or draw. But if you want to hit a straight drive and don't care about looks, feel or sound then this is a club you must try.
