Despite the tremendous relief this improvement engendered in me and my ear drums, it should be pointed out that the noise is not gone all together. The first thing you notice when you actually hit a ball is that the aforementioned noise at impact is considerably dampened. This doesn't appear to have resulted in less accuracy, but it certainly seems to have lent a bit more distance to the driver. I won't go through the story again, but suffice it to say that last year's model was immediately relegated to the basement.Īn immediately noticeable difference between the 5900 and the driver we tested last year is that the shaft of the 5900 is a bit longer. My first impression of the 5900 was related in a recent blog. The 2008 incarnation, the SQ Sumo2 5900, is, according to Nike, a higher-MOI, longer-hitting version of the maiden model. The major complaint was the god-awful, ear-shattering racket it made on contact with the ball. It was impressive, winning PGA Tour tournaments and topping the list of drivers I tested last year.

Last year Nike Golf introduced the first square-headed driver on the market, the SQ Sumo2.
