We tested: 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, 11.5° and 13° in Mitsubishi Diamana Yellow Board graphite shaft. Shaft length: 45.75"
Company line: "A strategically placed center of gravity gives you the freedom to work the ball. Its hot cryo-steel face provides a large, responsive sweet spot. SQ Sumo has a high-MOI for greater forgiveness on off-center hits."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: The club has very respectable playability for a game-improvement driver; one of the lower ball flights, and second-lowest spin rate, in the test; accurate and forgiving, a good option to keep it away from the right rough; large face and sweet spot encourage repeatable distance and trajectory; good players will be able to find even the narrowest of fairways.
CONS: Testers not crazy for the look; lack of feel makes it difficult to judge the quality of shots at impact; loud ringing on contact.
"While capable of going deep, its main focus is keeping you in play." — Mark Barrette (15)
