Thanks to my good and wise golf pal Arnie pointing it out, I don’t need to swing as hard to achieve the same club head speed with this club because it is so much lighter and more aerodynamic than my old driver. The first adjustment I had to make with the Machspeed was to relax a bit.

Dethroning my old trusty driver is no easy feat, and that says a lot about the Machspeed.

For all of the dozens of drivers I’ve reviewed and received from golf companies, this is the first one to dethrone my trusty Ping G2 which has been the king of my bag for over half a decade. I’ve been very happy with the performance of my Machspeed Black. Still, after using this head cover for a while, I ended up putting it in the garage and replacing it with my favorite Sumi-G driver cover. I do like the fact that it isn’t bulky and that it doesn’t take up too much room. The included head cover from Nike is a definite improvement on the model which came with the original STR8-Fit driver. Flexes for this shaft are available in X, S, R, A. The stock shaft for the Nike SQ Machspeed Black driver is the Nike Fubuki (pictured below). The head weight is 203.5 grams and swing weight of the club is D3-D5. The standard length of all models is 45.75 inches. The SQ Machspeed Black Round driver comes in five lofts: 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11,5 and HL or 13 degrees. The audio feedback tells you exactly how you hit the shot and combined with the feel translated to the hands it tells you where on the club face the ball struck, without letting the group seven holes in front of you know the same data. Once again, Nike has achieved this with the MSB. I prefer a more controlled and warmer sound. I’m not a fan of the loud, Chinese gong sound in drivers. Some drivers, especially older Nikes, are very loud and obnoxious. If someone were to put a sky mark in this baby I’d have to kill them, then take them to Detroit to be tortured. It is so pretty in fact, that I’m not letting anyone I don’t completely trust try it.

The previous Nike SQ DYMO STR8-FIT driver I reviewed, though a great driver, didn’t quite look as nice standing over it as this one does.

Not only is this driver all black and very attractive looking, it has more of a classic shape and aesthetic to it. As the name implies, this baby is black and it does rock. But I’m a rock & roll musician, and we rock and rollers always like to wear black.

Many players are matching their white belts with their drivers. White drivers are pretty popular right now. Machspeed Black face - Click for larger image
