| SQ SUMO 5900 by Nike |
The Nike SasQuatch (SQ) Sumo2 5900 has been engineered to provide moment of inertia (MOI), volume and impact efficiency which is close to the limits set down by the USGA. The end result is a golf driver which is very straight and extremely accurate.
The SQ Sumo2 5900 is a square headed golf driver. This allows the engineers to give the club a deeper face, convex crown and to push the weight to the corners for increased ball speed. The high MOI means that the clubhead will not twist as much on off center hits and leads to straighter drives on miss hits. This is combined with a a face which multi-thickness for even more ball speed.

The Nike PowerBow weighting means that the weight has been pushed to the far corners of the square head to improve head stability and better accuracy,
The Diamana Yellow Board shaft by Mitsubishi is tour quality and weighted specifically to maximize the performance by flex.
The clubhead is 460 cc. The lofts are 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5 and 13 degrees.

| SQ SUMO 5000 by Nike |
The Nike SasQuatch SQ SUMO 5000 golf driver has a more traditional shape than the SUMO2 5900 and has a deeper face. It is designed to allow golfers to shape the ball like the best players or strike it long and straight.
If the square head of the SUMO2 5900 turns you off then this golf driver is worth a look.
The SQ SUMO 5000 shape and design is the next step in the evolution of higher Moment of Inertia (MOI). A higher MOI means that the clubface will twist less on off center shots ensuring the ball will travel further and straighter. This all-titanium golf driver’s new body shape raises the MOI bar to 5000 g-cm2.

As with all Nike golf drivers, the SQ SUMO 5000 utilizes PowerBow technology to strategically place the center of gravity within the clubhead for longer and straighter drivers off the tee.
The clubhead is 460 cc in size and is all-titanium. The lofts are 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5, 13, 13 offset and HL.
The shaft is a Mitsubishi iDiamana Yellow Board weighted specifically to maximize the performance by flex for optimum distance and accuracy.

| SasQuatch SUMO2 by Nike |
The name of the Nike SasQuatch SUMO2 golf driver stands for “SUper MOment of Inertia – Squared”. This refers to the high moment of inertia (MOI) the driver produces because of its squared shape.
The SasQuatch Sumo2 will not be everyone’s cup of tea because of the squared head which is radically different to that of other golf drivers. However, looks like this for a purpose. Using a squared shape means that the weight is transferred to the extreme heel and toe to increase the MOI to 5300 g cm2.
The 460 cc clubhead is constructed from multi-materials and has a composite crown as a weight saving measure. Overall, the driver is designed to deliver superior forgiveness and greater distance.
The SasQuatch SUMO2 utilizes Nike’s PowerBow and Max Back Center of Gravity (CG) to push the CG deeper and lower into the clubhead for better forgiveness, accuracy and distance.
The Sumo2 sister golf driver - the SasQuatch SUMO - is an all titanium and more traditional looking club.
The lofts are 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 13 degrees. The shaft is a Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana.

| SasQuatch SUMO by Nike |
The SUMO in the Nike SasQuatch SUMO stands for “SUper MOment of inertia”. The high moment of inertia (MOI) of 4950 is achieved by using the PowerBow technology to place additional weight on the bottom of the driver while simultaneously moving the center of gravity back and deeper into the clubhead.
A high MOI means that the clubhead will twist less on misshits to ensure that the golf ball travel further and straighter than if a lower MOI driver was used.
Unlike the Nike SasQuatch SUMO-2 golf drivers, the standard SasQuatch SUMO boasts a conventionally shaped clubhead. It is constructed from titanium and measures 460 cc. This means if the SUMO-2 squared shaped head is not to your liking you could always try the regular SUMO.
The shafts are the graphite Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana. The lofts are 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 13 degrees.

| Launcher by Cleveland |
Unlike the HiBore line of Cleveland golf drivers which had a scooped back clubhead, the 2009 Cleveland Launcher has a more traditional look. The 2009 version is the third in the Launcher line with the Launcher 460 and Launcher Comp its predecessors.
The 2009 Cleveland launcher has a clubface which is 21% larger than the 460 and Comp, which promotes maximum forgiveness on miss hits. It is designed to have low spin, mid-trajectory and high moment of inertia (MOI).
Thin Crown Technology means that the Launcher’s crown is only half a millimeter thick, saving on weight and allowing the center of gravity to be moved low and deep inside the clubhead. This position of the center of gravity promotes maximum distance.
The favorable weighting is further improved by the Horseshoe Perimeter Sole Weighting. A horseshoe-shaped weight pad is placed on the rear of the sole to help with pushing the weight low and deep for stability on misshits.
The Launcher’s 460 cc clubhead is the maximum allowed under the rules and has been engineered by Cleveland to produce a conventional, ear-pleasing and solid sound on impact.
The shafts available for the Cleveland Launcher are the Fujikura Flightspeed which is the next evolution of the Fit-On Red and Golf fitting system. These are lightweight shafts with a high-balance point for both increased swing and ball speed for that precious increase in distance.
The Fujikura Fit-On Flightspeed Golf is engineered to promote high-launches. The Fit-On Flightspeed Red is designed to reduce spin for stronger or the higher ball flight plaer.
The lofts for the Cleveland Launcher are 9.0, 10.5 and 12.0 degrees.
