Nike Sumo2 5900
$399, graphite
nikegolf.com
WE TESTED:
9.5° and 10.5° in Mitsubishi Diamana graphite shaft
COMPANY LINE:
"The deeper face, convex crown and a
redefined body shape increases ball speed
and accuracy.
'PowerBow weighting'
repositions mass to
the corners of the
head to optimize
stability, and a
multi-thickness
face maximizes
ball speed across
the face."
OUR TEST PANEL SAYS:
•Pros: Ball wants to fly straight; no hooks or slices, just pushes or pulls; highest ball flight of the six models; impact sounds loud but not too noisy or weak—an improvement over previous Sumo; misses definitely stay in play; very accurate; reduces sidespin dramatically; richer look than first Sumo2.
•Cons: Square shape still seems strange to
some, even distracting; difficult to hit draws or
fades, even when you try; many testers say they must
adjust stance or clubface at address to compensate for closed look due to its upright lie; not a 'feel' club.
"Very forgiving—the large sweet spot and distribution of weight in the corners makes it easy to hit straight."—Dave Daumit (12)
