Nike SQ Machspeed Black Driver - Round Version Review
Category: Game-Improvement Drivers
We tested: 9.5°, 10.5° with Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki graphite shaft
Key Technologies: The aerodynamic head (360° air flow) produces faster clubhead speed by reducing drag. It generates less spin and a lower ball flight than the original SQ Machspeed for longer drives. The "STR8-FIT" adjustable face-angle technology provides eight options from 2° open to 2° closed. The round head is meant for golfers who seek more workability.
OUR TESTERS SAY: Easy-to-swing club suits a broad range of handicaps. Definite improvement over previous Machspeed driver.
PROS
DISTANCE: Not the longest but several testers experience good, honest output with no surprises.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Directional misses are minimal when properly fit using the adjustability feature; does a good job of keeping you out of trouble.
FEEL: Soft feedback in the hands but a loud "crack" or "clank" might fool you into thinking it's a hard hit.
PLAYABILITY: Face adjustability allows testers to swing away with confidence; several testers experience a medium-high, straightish ball flight.
LOOK: Big, all-black head is all business, looks mean, powerful.
CONS
A minority of testers seeks longer distance; a few want "pop" or springy feel; some find the face slightly closed in neutral setting.
