The Callaway Drivers
Although the Callaway drivers are one of many top of the line drivers, much more goes into choosing a great driver other than the name. Some golfers have a very accurate and consistent swing which allows then to go for a golf club that has a much smaller sweet spot on it. For the new to the game golfer, getting a golf club with a very large sweet can not only blast the ball down the fairway but it can instill confidence in the new golfers mental game as well.
A careful consideration when shopping for drivers is to get a club that fits your body and fits your ability to hit for distance. The Callaway Big Bertha series is a top notch driver but it comes in many models. Many golfers rave about the effectiveness of the Callaway drivers because it improves their games on so many levels. From distance, accuracy to the correction of a golf slice. You would want to hit the local sporting goods store and wrap your hands around the many different drivers as you can before you run to the web and purchase a bunch of golfing products. Although there is a wide variety of models to choose from, you can be assured that no matter which one you end up buying that the Callaway drivers are made by a company that stands behind their products and you can trust them to make sure your purchase is satisfactory.
For those new to golfing, and considering Callaway drivers, investing in a set of used golf clubs may be a much better decision in the long run. One of the best reason to buy a second hand set of Callaway drivers is the resale value would be almost as much as the price you paid for them in the first place. However, along those same lines, if you purchased all new Callaway drivers and decided you were not going to continue with golfing, your return would be far less because now your selling used golf clubs that you paid a premium for.
Nike Sasquatch Sumo 460
Given the geographical unlikelihood of combining Bigfoot with a sumo wrestler,”Sasquatch Sumo” is certainly an interesting name for a club. Sumo wrestlers are huge guys whose average match lasts about 20-30 seconds, and not even Tiger Woods can get round a course that quickly. Still, the name doesn’t matter as much as the performance, and this driver – the “sequel” to the Sasquatch – is designed for greater forgiveness and longer driving power.
User feedback would suggest that it generally succeeds in these aims, although not everyone likes the sound the club makes when the ball is hit with considerable force. The length and straightness of the shots produced are cited numerous times. The “460” in the name refers to the size of the club head and that Nike, like other manufacturers, have created the head to be as large as it can be under current golfing regulations. Also like other manufacturers, they have done this to maximize the “sweet spot” – the optimum place to hit the ball – and to punish off-center shots less.
In terms of less positive comments, there are suggestions that the sumo is not the best option for players who really want to shape their shots; however the extent to which a player needs this is something that depends on their level. When looking at a driver, many players are likely to be more interested in how far and how straight it hits than how well it can shape the shot. The club has also been accused of lacking firmness by some players. No club is for everyone and a minority of players have stated that they have had difficulty hitting straight with this driver. it has to be stressed that this is a minority, however and that most users seem happy with the club.
Overall, the Sasquatch Sumo has more fans than detractors and seems well suited to the objectives it sets for itself as a driver.
