I am new to Golf. But, I did by this driver. I may be able to offer a unique perspective. When i bought the driver, I also tried to put the cover on, it was extremely hard. Then, i noticed that the sock part was actually tucked into the head cavity; folded over within. Simply pull out the sock part all the way, now the cover goes on very very easily. So, reach into your cover and pull out and exstend the sock tube thing all the way. Otherwise, the club is real hell to put into the cover.

I just acquired the Sasquatch 460 10.5 degrees Aldila NV-65 shaft. My requirements were simple, I wanted to hit straight and was really frustrated with regular slices i used to hit with my previous driver.

I tested

1. Taylor made R7 460 - This sounded great, was long enough, straight enough but at times the ball flight was very high.

2. Adams Golf red line 460 quad - This was also very long, straight enough but head was slightly smaller than sasquatch. The only reason I didnt go for this was because Sasquatch gave me more confidence off the tee with a bigger head.

3. Cobra HS 9 (M) - This claimed to cure slice but i found at times i was hitting left and i eliminated this straight away as i didnt want to possbly forsake off center hits going left as opposed to my requirement of straighter drives. I somehow havent used to the sound the Cobra drivers make.

4. Sasquatch 460 tour - At address this gave me maximum confidence as the head is much bigger, the shaft relatively appears smaller (like a pitching wedge) and whatever i did i just couldnt get the slice going, unless i played with ball position or club face angle at address.

I am not a scratch player so excuse me for any technicalities that I missed in my review. I just want to justify that testing drivers out is best thing to do, I used to be price sensitive before and used to end up ordering over the web but i am very satisfied now that i compared similar products and saw the results before i eventually bought it.

The advise i got from Direct Golf shop in UK was very good, they understood me perfectly that i wasnt the ones who wanted to hit longer so gave me the advice of going for a higher loft, gave me analogy that higher the ball flight less spin the ball acquires and the flight can go straighter. Straighter it did with all 4 drivers i tested on their recommendations.

Ok, let's start off by letting everyone here know that they guy who left the negative feedback is an idiot. First off, his first clue letting us know he doesn't know what he's doing, is the fact that he bought the club and then complained about how it felt in his hands. Last time I checked, you look at a driver and hold it BEFORE you buy it. Second clue left to us, was the fact that he complained that he can't work the ball. If you are needing to work the ball THAT much with a driver, you probably shouldn't be hitting a DRIVER off the tee. The last clue he left, was the fact that he complained about the shaft. IT'S A STOCK SHAFT. All major companies mass produce every club, and thus the shafts are not installed the best and definetely aren't meant for everyone. You may go out there and KILL it with the stock "Diamana" shaft, where as I might have the hardest time with it. If you are a golfer with a handicap in the single digits, DON'T EVER KEEP THE STOCK SHAFT IN A GOLF CLUB UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN FITTED AND THAT SHAFT SHOWED UP IN TESTING! Every golfer wanting to get better, needs to be fitted for their clubs. That way it assures them that they can't blame ANYTHING on their equipment. Today, I went into my local golf shop, where they are the ONLY "Hot Stix" fitter here in Iowa. I told them not to make the testing bias towards any brand, loft, shaft flex, shaft brand or any thing. Guess what club showed up as numer one for forgiveness and second in distance?!?! It was the Nike Sasquatch Tour. I'm a 4.3 handicap according to last seasons scores, hoping to drop that down to a 1 or 2 this seaon. I normally have hit 9.5* drivers since the day I started golf, figured it was the best combo of forgiveness without sacrificing distance or vice versa. I was suprised to see that my launch monitor testing showed up that a 10.5* driver would keep my spin rate/launch angle at the right spot. Then we did a shaft testing, and the Speeder 757 X flex shaft showed up shortened to 44.5". I'm so excited to get this club in the next few weeks as I ordered it on eBay and then sent it in to a company to get reshafted and pured.

The lesson to learn from this is DON'T pay attention to any one who claims to be a scratch golfer, and then comlains about things they could've known BEFORE buying the club. AND ALWAYS GET FITTED, do yourself a favor. If you are anywhere below a 12 handicap and looking to improve your game, go to a "Hot Stix" fitter and go through the steps. Don't think just because the driver is expensive, it's built for you.

Oh, and as a side note, the "Diamana" shafts that come with the Sasquatches aren't high end shafts like the Red Diamana or Blue Diamana. They are just a basic Diamana shaft.

All in all, this club is unbelievable with forgiveness and doesn't sacrifice any distance.

There are tons of drivers out there, but non compare to this one.

Getting back into golf after 8 yr virtual layoff. This is my first metal driver & I haven't hit many others. I've been hitting it for a month including 7 rounds. The swing adjustments needed to get OK results consisted of moving the ball a bit forward at address and ensuring I have a closed stance with shoulders/hips pointed to the target area. A normal swing produces a nice draw & 265-270 yds. It's important to work your tempo and get the clubface back to square. If your stance is open, impeding your turn, a push/slice is gonna happen. This club produces a little more distance and quite a bit more consistency than my old Peerless persimmon. "Working" the ball is doable - slight adjustments with clubface angle at address, more significant draws/fades employ clubface angle tweaks and ball position movement. The previous remarks apply most any golf swing and most any club. Bumper Sticker - good swings produce good shots - there's no magic. I am now working on goosing the ball. Consistency needs more work but the cart GPS at Darkhorse showed a 297 on one level ground drive and a 312 on a slight downhill. Since I have no practical experience with a wide range of metal drivers, I can't say "Buy this one" over any other. I can say that it was a pretty straightforward transition from persimmon.

Edwin Watts - tremendous as always.

I was looking for a mid trajectory and low spin driver after playing one year of my Cleveland Launcher 460 9.5* driver which often times balooned and caused too much backspins for my swing. Was reading many reviews here and there on SQ Tour driver, heard the less spin from the SQ Tour from some reviewers. Was search for a low spin and mid ball flight shaft as well.

Then one day came across the SQ Tour 9.5* with Speeder 553 Tour Spec R on the web auction, I decided to bid it and won that item. After some night sessions at my local range, found it really brought down the ball flight but couldn't tell the rolls after carry.

Played one round of golf last weekend, I like what I saw, more rolls after carry than my old Launcher 460. I'll say at least 10 yards more roll. SQ Tour has lesser spins, Speeder 553 helps lower spins and bringing down ball flight as well! Glad what happend last weekend at one of my home course.

This stick is easy to swing and going boring far.

the nike SQ is a horrible driver. my experiences with that club have been unbelievably aweful and i am here to tell you not to buy this club. If you already own one you need to burn it. immeadiatly.
the club has a sort of numb feeling when held. this feeling continues throughout the swing and left me with an overall sence of dissappointment through impact. the shaft was unremarkable. (a trend with stock shafts of late, And one more thing, is the word "diamana" supposed to give me peace of mind?) my biggest complaint was that everything i hit went unremarkably straight, with a sickeningly boring ball flight. if you want to play the most unexciting golf of your life then buy this club. if you are the type of discerning player who once and a while wants to shape a shot out of necessity, this club will NOT preform for you. at address the face looks 5 degrees shut. resulting in an uncomfortable sensation while at address and while waggling the club. good technology (highest COR, MOI, and size). with the worst design (numb feeling, shut face, downright ugly to look at)

Made the switch from my Titleist 983K and 975J drivers. Seriously considered the 905R, but felt the Nike provided a slightly more solid feel at impact. Very solid contact feel and a nice, consistent trajectory. Not appreciably longer than the 905R, but a very solid club. The clubhead is so large, I'm sure it can be played by everyone, given enough loft. Overall, a welcome change from the older Titleists, but not head and shoulders above the 905R.

Titleist 905R

Very forgiving, miss hits within 1" of center give 90% distance of my 975J. Reasonable shots are 110%. Sets up nice, with the 0 pattern on the face, and the 2 tone paint job gives the illusion of a smaller 975/983 pear head, while you get the benefits of 460cc.

After reading how high the Prolaunch Blue was, I was worried coming from an 8.5deg with Prolite. No need to worry, I can work the ball low or just right with ease.

Wow. Long & Straight. I'm not one for hype. I have been playing with Callaway 9 degree Fusion 2005 ver. also have Quad 8.5. This club smokes these drivers by 30-40 yards use to drive 230-250 now 260 off center hits 280 when hit square. 10.5 helps with accuracy. The heads a little big. however I wouldn't trade it for the hottest club on the market.

I was playing a rather long course with my friend and he took out the demo sashatchewan or whatever the hell it is. I hit it a few times and had to give it back to him. To big and bulky feeling for me. Didn't feel too hot off the tee either. My friend sucks and he loves the thing. Any way lots of hype about this club just offering my experience with it.
