This Nike SasQuatch 2 Sumo 4950 is a nice driver. But even a multi-material driver with a graphite shaft doesn’t need that many brand names. Why did we need this trend, where every part gets a name like they were the minor characters in Dial H For Hero? was an? Why do we have to say “Nike PowerBow geometry puts the center of gravity lower”? Why can’t we just say “this club has a low center of gravity”?

And “Nike SasQuatch 2 Sumo 4950”? It might be okay if they have a “SasQuatch 1” out there somewhere, but then why the “Sumo” at the end? We admit that Sasquatch Sumo would be completely awesome but do you really want to be thinking about that while on the golf course, trying to reduce your twisting on off-center shots? And after all that, you still need a 4950? How much Sasquatch Sumo is out there? Because it’s not on pay-per-view, we checked.

If you’re looking for a good stiff driver, your choice is between this or a vodka/oj mix back at the clubhouse. But if you’re looking for a big pile of names, hey, there’s no choice at all. The Nike SasQuatch 2 Sumo 4950 with Diamana graphite shaft wins it all easy.
