Well- As any golfer knows, the hardest club to hit is the good old driver... I had been struggling a bit, and decided to give a Nike Driver another shot, as I had read some really good reviews about the SQ Dymo Driver(Silver List Winner, Golf Digest) and not to mention that the last 2 Golf Majors were won with this same driver. (Lucas Glover, US Open and Stewart Cink, British Open) When I 1st started playing golf about a year and a half ago, I bought a Nike 5900 Square Driver. I had a lot of trouble hitting it well, probably because my understanding of the golf swing (especially the driver) was undeveloped, and because it only had 9.5 degrees of loft. I quickly sold the club and have tried several others since then, namely, Cleveland and Tour Edge. Anyhow, I would give the Nike SQ Dymo 2 Driver at least a 9 out of 10, probably more like a 9.5. It is pretty easy to hit and the ball goes very far. It has a much better sound compared to most of the other drivers that you hear. I prefer the higher degree of loft (around 11), as it significantly reduces the chance of hitting a slice. Personally, I'd rather be 230 yards in the middle of the fairway than 260 yards out of bounds or behind some trees. I am a 14 handicap and probably average about 230-250 yards with this driver, depending upon whether I hit a fade or a draw. A miss for me is when I don't quite turn the club over enough to either hit it straight or with a slight draw, and the square head seems to help out as the ball will usually just go straight right and end up in the right rough, but still goes at least 220-230 yards of so. I should add, however, that if you swing outside-in and leave the clubface open you can still hit a big banana slice! All things considered, this is an awesome club! Callaway, Ping, Cleveland or Taylormade don't have anything on Nike's Dymo Driver as far as looks or performance is concerned.Read full review
I first bought a Dymo2 for myself because I have a mean and slice and so I wanted a club with a slightly closed face. It definitely has helped me there and I also like the look, feel and sound of this club. I'm making better drives and it's boosted my confidence. Now I've got my wife playing and she didn't like to use the driver (mine) because she couldn't hit with it, so she was teeing off with irons. Well I neaded to get her a driver and most beginners tend to slice also, so I still thought this would be a good club for her once propperly fitted. I ordered her a Dymo2 with the 13deg loft, also called HL (high launch) to help her get it in the air and of course the lady flex shaft to ocomodate her swing speed. Most importantly though the lenght of a driver is tough on beginners and often longer than thay need to be even for seasoned players so I had the club made at a full 2 inches shorter than wemens standard length which makes it 3 inches shorter than mine. Well much to her suprise, instant game improvement and she loves this driver! The Dymo has made Nike a top contender. I also bought the the matching 3 wood for myself, shortened it 1 inch and it's the perfect fairay wood. Even my budies like to use it.Read full review
This driver is fun to hit, has a good feel, the sound is a bit loud, but the ball seems to jump off the face nicely. It is also fun to play around with str8-fit settings. You can set up for a draw or fade without changing your swing. I will mention this to anybody who thinks this will cure their SLICE or HOOK. This driver IS NOT A MIRACLE CLUB that will cure a bad swing. It helps a little, but not as drastic as I've read other reviews on it. I took it out on the range yesterday, and my bad habits still showed up with this driver, just not as pronounced. When I took a more controlled slower swing this driver really performed well, fairly straight with some good distance. When I swung the club faster, it tended fade and even slice at times with my swing. I had it on the neutral setting (yellow arrow).Read full review
I bought this club 2 weeks ago and have only hit it a few times. At first I was extrememly relucant to buy this club because I hit the ORIGINAL Nike Sumo SQ2 and it sounded like you were hitting a ball with an empty beer can. Much to my surprise, the sound of the ball coming off of the face is comparable to that of the round Nike Str-8 Fit driver. I've been playing the round Nike Str-8 Fit since prior to its' release and loved the shapability of the club. The one shot I DID NOT have in my bag was A STRAIGHT drive. Fortunately, the Nike Str-8 Fit Dymo2 has afforded me the opportunity to FINALLY HAVE A STR-8 drive. Trust me, with the additional fairway you will find with this club, there's NO DOUBT in my mind that you will be able to get over the looks of it. After hitting it a few times, when you look up and you see your ball is in the short stuff, you won't be able to wait to hit it on the next tee. I would recommend this driver for anyone looking to hit more fairways.Read full review
My son bought this club on here, he was really not sure if the squared driver was the best thing. WOW though, what a difference it makes, Just in my first round of playing it i was hitting my drives 30+ yards farther just using it. The square also made it so they are all striaight down the middle. I would recommend the golf club to anyone who wants to hit longer and straighter. And on here you can get it for a fraction of the price as the retail stores. The driver looks great, it is around a pound so it is easy to get club head speed on it, and it really helps your game!
