The all-new Nike SasQuatch Sumo2 Driver has evolved from the innovative and hugely popular Nike Golf SasQuatch driver. The promise from Nike Golf is even more distance, forgiveness and accuracy. To achieve this the Sumo2 driver features a powerful new square geometry, which delivers the highest moment of inertia (MOI) in golf (5300 g cm²), meaning that your drives go longer and straighter, even on off-centre shots.

Now in theory this sounds great, but at a price of £200 from onlinegolf is this just another gimmick drawing on the success of the previous Nike Golf SasQuatch driver, or can Nike deliver on their bold promises.

Having played eighteen holes with the Sumo2 the forgiveness is definitely there, for the low and mid handicapped players where off centre shots are a common occurrence the ball still held the fairways and generated good distance. Once you get past the noise on impact the results are undeniable, and the Sumo2 was a pleasure to play with and will certainly be an addition to my bag.

However for the low handicap player, who rarely hits off centre shots, this club will not be an asset to their bag. Instead the Nike SasQuatch Sumo driver with its more conventional shape and titanium head will ultimately provide greater distance and reliability.

All in all the Nike Sumo2 is the definitive driver for the mid-handicapper, providing distance, forgiveness, and accuracy off the tee.
