This newcomer is a worthy addition to Nikes Sumo stable

Like its big brother, Nike’s SQ Sumo2 hybrid is not for everyone. But testers
note the club’s blocky shape does not seem as jarring as the driver’s does,
perhaps because hybrids are a new category and manufacturers are defining their
standards as they go.
 But there is little speculation about the club’s performance. As promised, the club’s weighting produces straight, high shots
from different lies—just beware of shots that may balloon into the wind. “There’s a long par 3 with a small green at my course that I never play well
because I hit the ball too low,” says a 13. “I birdied it the other day with the
Sumo—the ball soared and stopped dead six feet from the pin.”
MSRP:
$179 (six lofts, 17–34 degrees)
