Nike SQ Sumo2 5900
$399, graphite; nikegolf.com

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: "This updated shape increases ball speed and accuracy. A titanium cup face improves ball speed over a larger area. 'Powerbow' manages weight to optimize performance."

Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Directional and distance forgiveness are the goods here; no twisting or turning of the clubhead at impact, absolutely no problems with toe strikes;
a very dependable, medium trajectory that moves right-to-left for extra distance; ball seems to spring off the clubface; a visual improvement over last year's model; distance and direction equally forgiven on mis-hits.
CONS: Straight pushes and pulls more common than draws or fades; muted feedback can mask results; loud impact sound; head size can be a distraction.
