A friend recently bought a Nike Sumo, and while not meaning to compare the two on the course, it was hard not to notice how much louder a clean shot off the sweet spot on my driver was. While on the subject, I feel I should preach a little too. I'm 22 years young, and only 5'8" and about 150 lbs. Pretty small for your average golfer. Granted I haven't tried many other drivers to compare, I'm putting a good solid drive with the 580 XD 300+ yards every time. Maybe swing mechanics are having an effect here, but someone my size normally shouldn't be driving greens on short par 4s I’ve been hitting a relatively old TaylorMade R580 XD (USGA approved version) for few years now, and aside from how much I love the club and wouldn’t trade it for any new driver on the market today, it is clearly the champion of ear-piercing drives.

My wife would argue that it causes selective hearing as well. the study must have been done by lonely wives of golfers. My wife would argue that it causes selective hearing as well.
