Cleveland Golf brought a new technology to the table last year with the introduction of the original Cleveland HiBore driver. The HiBore’s unique design got a lot of people talking but we found sales a bit soft. Everyone wanted to see it but few decided to buy it.

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, we’re hoping you’re getting some time to enjoy this spring – today we have another independent review, this time for the Nike MachSpeed SQ Driver. Enjoy!
Nike has unveiled the SQ Machspeed as their newest “game improvement driver”, it has an interchangeable shaft that also makes the lie, loft and club face angle adjustable. The ability to pick the ideal shaft as well as the appropriate head setup enables a player to, as Nike boasts, “correct some of the most devastating hooks and slices.”
The concept of the square club head is ultimately to increase forgiveness and the MachSpeed does just that, loading the weight behind the heel and toe allows miss hits to maintain a boring ball flight that contributes to uncompromising distance on those off-center hits. The square head could be a challenge to get over for some traditionalists but for the golfer looking to increase consistency and simply get it in play off the tee, this is a great driver. As for the sound and feel, the MachSpeed is very similar to past Nike clubs. A hollow high pitched sound makes it very recognizable and when it is hit on the screws it feels very solid and powerful, bordering on a trampoline feel. An interesting characteristic is that off-center hits feel very similar, little vibration means that there is little feedback to the hands on misses, again highlighting why this is a great club for beginners and mid-handicappers allowing the player to build confidence and focus more on the result instead of the feel.
The MackSpeed SQ is the 2010 model and is currently on sale for $178.00 from its original $339.00 making it very affordable and a great buy for someone looking for a quality club that offers optimal distance, forgiveness and consistency.

TaylorMade drivers have been hot sellers at my shop this year. The R7 Quad, R7 Quad HT, R7 Quad TP and R5 Dual are all great drivers and it seems like TaylorMade has a driver for any type of player. Just when you thought the TaylorMade driver lineup couldn’t get any better… enter the TaylorMade R5 Dual TP.
I was able to hit the Titleist 910 D3 this weekend as well, despite the ever-too-slow melt that’s going on here in Canada. Much like my recent review of the Cleveland XL 270, I tested this driver hitting it into a screen, but with all things being equal, I still got a fairly good idea of the performance of this driver. Here are my thoughts:
The Club:
The driver I tested out was the Titleist 910 D3 9.5 degrees with a stiff Project X Tour Issue 73g shaft. The Surefit was sitting in 1A position. The D3 is 445 CC, only 15 CC short of the D2 which is maxed at 460. There’s some cool technology behind this club, and based on it’s performance in this review – it definitely warrants some attention if you’re in the driver market.
We get a lot of email concerning the Cleveland Launcher 460 so it’s about time we reviewed it. Cleveland made their name in wedges but they are slowly making some waves in other areas.
The value priced driver market has become very competitive as of late. It seems that Cobra has created the benchmark and all of the other companies are trailing behind. Callaway had the Big Bertha… a decent driver but many said it was too small.
The TaylorMade R7 Quad has been the hottest and most talked about driver in golf for the last two years. The driver was a huge success among better players because of its solid feel and the ability to customize ballflight. For 2006 TaylorMade has introduced the even better R7 425.
Titleist has always gone by the slogan “Serious clubs, serious performance”. With the new 905 series drivers they have followed this line of thinking in building a driver geared towards the stronger player.
