Customer Reviews for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Holy smokes - this thing is awesome.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Good Value, no cons if your goal is to hit long and straight

Have never hit a driver like this before in my life. Everything was super long and straight as an arrow. That's what this club does: it makes every shot straight and long. I've never been a big hitter but I was easily bouncing every last ball to the back fence of the driving range -- and right where I was aiming it.

Haven't had this much fun hitting at the range since I first starting playing and started making contact with the ball.

Review 2 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Good result after shaft switch
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Value
Cons: sound

I bought this driver with the Aldila VS Proto in regular flex because the RSSR on the shaft was 90-100MPH. Even though I swing about 105 I thought that with a smooth tempo this shaft would work. Results were not good. Drives leaked right when I got after it at all. I put a V2 Hi-launch in stiff with much better results. I guess I better pay more attention to the RSSR. Got back my draw and basically took the right side of the hole out. Not as long as my 09 Burner but, acceptable results.

Review 4 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

LOVE IT
Pros: Quality, Durability, Easy to Use, Good Value, Features

I have always been a long hitter and at 44 still can hit long when needed. I just purchased the club and OH MY... I put back to back balls on the green at 338yds. The wife was with me and she could not believe it. I love this thing and probably going to get her one too. I have the 9.5 stiff and have not had a mishit yet come off of the head. WONDERFUL CLUB..
IF I could give it 10 stars I would.

Review 5 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Work in progress
Pros: Quality, Good Value

I recently bought this club with a regular flex and 10.5 degree face angle. I am 16 years old and this is really my first real driver that I have owned. I am a 12 or 13 handicap and right handed. It has taken me a couple of rounds to get used to this club, but now I think that I have finally got the hang of it. At first I was missing the sweet spot almost every time but now I am making consistent contact. I find that it is harder for me to work this club right to left, but the club makes up for this with being extremely straight off the tee even on mishits. Overall, this is a great club for a good price.

Review 8 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Best Driver I Ever Hit
Pros: Quality, Durability, Easy to Use, Good Value

This driver is amazing. I have a very fast swing speed and was worried about the graphite shaft. I never had good results with other drivers and graphite shafts, but I got this club with the diamana XS shaft and I hit it straighter and longer than ever before. Consistently at 300 yds. and in the fairway. Unfortunatly I was told this club is discountinued, so if you can still get one at the steal of a price that I did, I would highly recommend getting one asap.

Review 9 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Very Forgiving, A Little Big
Pros: Quality, Good Value, forgiving

I have had this driver for about half a year and it is a great club. A little big but once you get used to it its not that big of a deal.
This driver is very forgiving. If I hit it off the toe or heel I lose about 10-20 yards and that is it.
From my old driver (Callaway X-460) I have increased about 10 yards on my good drives with this club.

Review 10 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Sumo 5000
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Value
Cons: not available to public in 7.5

I'm a 2 Handicap, and used Callaway FT-3 Tour for three years and never thought i would switch. A friend of mine let me play 18 holes w/his Sumo 5000. Easiest driver to hit period, picked up 10-15 yards more than my Callaway. I bought the Aldila VSP65, Stiff from GS; I only wish it was available in a 7.5 because i hit this driver real high, but still long. Put GP Decade grip on and is awesome combo. Recommend testing on course for more than one round, if possible. took me a few rounds to realize how good this driver really is...wants to go straight all the time and miss hits are longest i have experienced yet. Takes a little practice to cut and draw, but can be done. went from 60% fairways to approx 65-70% w/this stick. If you do test one try not to swing hard, best results w/this driver is w/a smooth tempo...every time i try to rip it, it tends to draw or if i'm a little quick, it will hook...probably more my swing than the club. This is my first review of anything...i recommend you test this club w/the right shaft and give it a little time, you will like it.

Review 11 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Easy to hit and long!
Pros: Quality, Durability, Easy to Use, Good Value

Have the 9.5 xstiff A65 shaft. Has a nice feel, sweet sound, and mishits off the heel and toe travel. I switched from a Nike 10.5 sumo with a stiff shaft and actually was hitting it slightly further with that club than this one. My swing is about 95 and able to hit it 240 - 280 thus far with a softer ball (Callaway Tour I and Taylor Made TP Red) (only had it about 3 weeks)

Wow Long and Down the Middle
Pros: Quality, Good Value

I just bought this club used because I always loved the look of the club. And Wow its sounds great and plays very well. Not as long as my tour burner but I was able to put a pretty draw on the ball.

SASQUATCH DRIVER
Pros: Quality, Good Value, Features
Cons: Durability

I REALLY LIKE THIS DRIVER IT HITS VERY GOOD FOR ME ACCEPT WHEN I TRY TO KILL THE BALL. THE ONLY REASON I GAVE IT FOUR STARS INSTEAD OF FIVE IS DURING THE SECOND ROUND I PLAYED, THE ADILLIA SHAFT BROKE AT THE HOZZLE. I DIDNT HIT THE GROUND JUST THE BALL AND THE HEAD WENT FLYING ABOUT 25 YARDS. BUMMER. ANYHOW I HAD A UST PRO V2 SHAFT PUT ON AND I LIKE IT EVEN MORE. GREAT CLUB.

Review 16 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Absolutely Amazing Buy
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Good Value, massive distance, excellent control

I purchased this club for one reason; I wanted more distance. What I got was far more than that. I took it to the driving range the night after I got it, and I didn't hit a single drive shorter than 260 yards. Before, I would rarely hit my Callaway 240, and 210-220 was average. Aside from that massive distance improvement, I immediately noticed that I never sliced anything hard right, and instead, I was quickly able to develop a draw or a fade when I wanted it.

Not only did I do well on the driving range, but I shot a reasonable 39 (par 35) and 40 (par 36) my first time out on our local 18-hole course. My average is around 90 for 18, and the 79 tied my current low. If you're looking for a club with great control, AND great distance, this is your club. One more thing, my swing speed is considered above average, clocking in at about 98-102 MPH.

Review 17 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

WORTH A TRY
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Good Value

Okay, when the price of this driver went to $199, I figured I would take a flyer and try it out. I was fortunate to find one at a local golf store with a 10.5 degree loft and the aldila vs proto 65 shaft (I think everyone who is searching for the perfect driver should first get fit for the perfect shaft as this will solve most of their problems). Anyway, since buying the Sumo 5000, I have played five rounds of golf (cant hit 20 balls on the range and make a decission), one round was in the rain, the others in dry conditions.
After warm up and the first 9 holes, I started to connect with this driver(always a little time to get adjust to look and feel). Some reports suggest that this driver isn't as long as others, but I didn't notice any loss of distance from my previous driver. Anyway, i have decided to keep the the Sumo 5000 in my bag and have ordered the 4 wood (also with aldila shaft). I would recommend to anyone looking for a new driver that they give this a shot, but dont forget to make sure you have the right shaft in it first.

definitley the best!!!!
Pros: Quality, Durability, Easy to Use, Good Value, Features, mixes mistakes, looks

so much better than the other one, i used to use the 10.5 regular shaft, but this one is soo much better, i got the stiff 9.5 and hit it more consistent and further with at least ten yards of roll. don't buy the sasquatch because it's so cheap, this is hotter and better. i lovve it.

my other sasquatch driver kept making draw the ball way too much, the first time i tried this one at the driving range it was great getting the ball the good height and having alot of roll. buy it.

Review 20 for NIKE SasQuatch Sumo 5000 Driver

Just Not For Me
I have tried out almost all the name drivers and read some reviews that this one was THE ANSWER. I liked the looks of the club and really wanted it to live up to the expectations. It was a tight race between the Cobra LD4F and the Mizuno MX560. Both are GREAT clubs- Long and disturbingly straight. So I swung the Nike head to head with them. I couldnt keep this club straight if they threatened to take my firstborn. 20 balls ranged from an irritating fade to violent slice. I have it on good authority though that if I come on bended knee, hat in hand, they MAY allow me back on the range again though, so all is not lost.
