Comments: A higher MOI than the previous generation of the original Nike Sasquatch.Pros: Of the new drivers this one gave great feedback and with the proper swing I was able to belt out some consistent drivers about 10-15 yards more than my current driver. Also updated for the Sumo line is the much better designed head cover. The original Nike Sasquatch head cover was a plain sock cover which was so tight at the neck that trying to pull it up past the club head required Hulk-like strength and patience. The new head cover thankfully addresses the issue of the large head by having the top portion of the head cover split down the middle so you just slide the head in and the neck of the cover attaches to the shaft.
Cons: As you’ve probably read on the golf forums the main complaints about the Nike Sumo and Sumo2 is the aluminum bat sound on the hits. Though the Nike Sumo sounds less irritating than the Sumo2, the Sumo still has an odd “boing” sound to it that may irritate you and your playing partners after a while. If you don’t mind the banana-yellow design, the Sumo looks pretty standard though large looking for a 460cc driver.
Overall: While I really like the Sumo, the sound is distracting and is one of the only reasons that keep it from being my #1 driver pick.
Score: 3 out of 5
