NIKE RECALLING SUMO2 DRIVERS WHICH ARE ILLEGAL

Major booboo on Nike's part

Nike Golf president Bob Wood has announced that Nike has been selling drivers which are illegal according to the USGA regulations. "You might hit your drives 1-2 yards further" says Wood. He also goes on to say that PGA Tour players such as KJ Choi don't have the non conforming drivers. See video:

I HAVE A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT HERE:
Hooked On Golf Blog » Blog Archive » Nike has been selling illegal Sumo SQ square drivers.

Nike has implemented the "Nike Sumo2 conformance program" which is where owners of the illegal driver will be sent a postage paid package which they'll send the old driver back for a USGA conforming replacement. This program goes from March 26th to April 30th.

I'd save 'em for Ebay

If you're smart and you own an illegal Sumo SQ I'd hang on to it. They'll probably be fetching a pretty penny on ebay very soon. In fact, I'd write more about this but I'm on my way to the used club bin at the golf store to pick up a few...

The Good News

The good news from Nike is that the revolutionary Nike Sumo drivers "Mickey" (pictured below left) and "Renob" (below right) are not part of this program. You can hang on to your Mickeys and Renobs!
