Product Description
The PowerBow design of this Nike® SasQuatch Sumo Driver results in a higher MOI, therefore delivering more distance and forgiveness. A higher MOI reduces twisting on off-center shots for longer and straighter drives. SasQuatch's larger and lower Nike PowerBow geometry moves the CG further back and lower that the original SasQuatch driver.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Product Description
Having won the Golf Digest editor's choice for 2006 drivers, Nike had a big challenge in trying to improve the original all-titanium SasQuatch driver. Mission accomplished with the SasQuatch Sumo, which boasts a new Nike PowerBow geometry for even more distance and forgiveness. The PowerBow configuration adds weight to the bottom perimeter of the driver while moving the center of gravity lower and further back, resulting in a SUper MOment of inertia (4,950 grams per centimeter squared), thus the Sumo name. Golfers will also dig the high-performance Diamana shaft by Mitsubishi Rayon. The graphite shaft is designed to blend power and stability, with a lightweight feel and an optimized tip profile for better distance and accuracy. Both the 9.5- and 10.5-degree versions of the driver measure 45 inches long.

So much better than my last driver
I bought this driver (Stiff, 13 degrees of loft) on the recommendation of a golf instructor. For a taller, more athletic build, a stiff shaft is better, and that 13 degree loft helps me get the ball in the air. I added 30-40 yards to my drives, and when I catch one solid, I can now get 270+ yards from the club.
The club itself is very light compared to my old driver. The graphite shaft and hollow head of the club make the Sumo extra light. I can really get some club speed going with it.
It makes a pretty noticeable noise when you hit the ball, almost like and aluminum bat. You'll catch some stares from other people at a driving range the sound is so pronounced.
All in all, this is a great club, and I find I'm hitting more fairways not just adding distance to my drives. It seems pretty forgiving off the tee.
For the price, you can't go wrong. They sell these for 2-3x as much at pro shops.

This was 1/2 the price of the ladies driver. I have no problem hitting it off the tee. Gained 25 yards and average 200 yards.
