Nike Sasquatch Golf Fairway Woods - Reviews

On 2006-11-18, David S rated this Nike Sasquatch a 5...(7526)

Details: Stiff shaft. 5 Wood.

Purchase: Ebay for about 125.00
Pros: I shoot in the low 80's for the most part. I use the Nike Slingshot irons and love them so I thought I would give their 5 wood a try. What a great suprise. I figured a 5 wood would go 210 or so. The first swing I had was off a short par 4 with water running through the fairway about 256. I struck it well right down the middle and the ball ended up in the creek. Couldn't believe it. It is an easy club to work and the ball gets high ands lands soft. Well worth the money!
Cons: I didn't get the club early enough in the summer. The club is wonderful. Ball does fly high though. Tough to knock it down because of wind. It could be my game.
Quality: Beautiful design. Factory shaft which is great for me. Big head gives much confidence!

Review Summary: Can't wait to get the 3 wood. If you can't hit this club then give up golf!

On 2006-03-16, Flamio rated this Nike Sasquatch a 5...(6729)

Details: Yellow/Black, 15 deg 3 wood, Diamana stiff shaft.

Purchase: Golf Galaxy, Ohio. Under $200. Why? It tested and felt best! I needed a new 3 wood badly.
Pros: Awesome distance. It hits extremely well off the ground w/o a tee. A nice feel when hit solid. Forgiving. A nice look from the top. Slightly closed face. Decent grip. An EXCELLENT Diamana shaft(why bother spending an extra $50 for the exotic ones which aren't as good?). CG is low and back. Long, long, long!
Cons: There's not much not to like! If I was to nit-pick: I don't like it's look from the bottom a whole lot, but you never see it on the ground. The grip is ok but I would like it a little thicker, but that's easily fixed.
Quality: The Diamana shaft is awesome! The head feels very strong. Nike's really stepping it up. A+

Review Summary: After hitting a few models I was interested in at the golf store I work at from time to time, I went in on an off night and gave my final two the concentrated tests. We all know Golf Digest had the Callaway X-18 as their Editors pick for 2006, and it's a nice FW, but, I liked two others better....I look most for feel, control, and distance. The X-18 looks cool, but for good distance, the Mizuno F-50 and the Nike Sasquatch are in a different league. At first I thought the Sasquatch had a real dead feel, but as I switched to a stiff Diamana shaft and put the pedal to the medal, it sounded great. When the F-50 is connected squarely, it has probably the best feel. But, I needed to chose the club that I averaged best with and hit the farthest and straightest consistently. the Sasq. has a 102mm face width, the F-50 has 97mm. On off center hits, I had more margin for error with the Saq. and it showed. I love the Diamana shaft in the Nike! My swing speed typically averages 95-99mph. Sometimes I'm over 115mph if I get my shoulders turned and hands turned over. When I got my swing over 95mph, the Nike felt like a controlled R shaft which felt great! Straight most of the time and very forgiving, and far. And, as a Golf Digest reviewer put it, 'it seems to just keep going'. He was right. After getting warmed up, I started hitting the Sasq. over 240+, and had one 260. In comparison, the F-50, was at best in the 240's once. Don't get me wrong, the F-50 is great, but the Nike was better, for me. I like the fact that it's wide and forgiving. I don't fear cranking one up! I like the look with the extended silver back. A simulator isn't always right, but, as some reviewers don't realize, it's fair to all clubs on the same day!

Review Summary: With the exception of my putter (Titleist Futura Phantom) I carry an all Nike bag. I was eagerly awaiting the release date for the SQ driver, thinking there was a good change it would replace my Ignite. When I tested in the launch monitor at Golf Galaxy it was all I could do to get it out there around 240 or so. No matter what I tried, I simply could bring the numbers up. I then went to another place that offered the SQ that also had an outside range. Same thing. I don't know if it was me or the club, but I could not get the ball up in the air, nor could I get it out there with much distance, nor could I hit it straight. Not even close to my Ignite. Overall it was very disappointing. A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about my inability to hit a consistent 3-wood. Yesterday I went to Golf Galaxy anticipating that I would buy a Mizuno F-50 or Cleveland Launcher 3-wood. The most recent issue of Golf magazine had each of them rated very high, with the Mizuno getting a slight edge. The SQ fairway woods tested very poorly in virtually every category. I brought in my Ignite F-60 as a means of comparison. Nothing I did with the Mizuno or Cleveland was terribly exciting. For the most part, they were on par with my Ignite. Just for the heck of it, I decided to demo the SQ. I'm glad I did. From the word go this club rocked. The strength of my game is having a slow, rhythmic swing that is repeatable. My ss seldom registers over 100, but I am able to generate some power and distance through timing. For whatever reason, the SQ matched my swing to a tee. I struggled to get the anything about 235 with the Launcher or F-50, but with the SQ I was consistently getting them out there 250+. I topped it off with a 282 yard monster that I used my go-for-it-in-two swing. That's all I needed. I went out to the car and traded in my Ignite fairways for the SQ. (I also re-tested the SQ driver, and still couldn't hit the thing worth a damn.) As you know, hitting in a launch monitor and on the course are two different things. I can't tell you how many times I've hit a club well at the store, only to be disappointed with actual on-course performance. In fact, I have a basement full of putters that I couldn't miss with in the store, but couldn't roll a pea into the ocean when I got home. Not so with the SQ. Yesterday I did something that I had never done before. One of the holes on our course is a 530 yard Par 5. I've never been on in two. With a good drive I was 265 yards away. Having hit the SQ solid a couple of times already, I took it out of the bag, addressed the ball with a confidence I've never had before in a FW club, and knocked the ball to within 12 feet of the cup. I just missed the eagle, but is there anything sweeter in golf than a two putt birdie? It wasn't a fluke. On another par 5 when I was 275 from the green, I hit it to within 10 yards of the green. Birdied that one too. I know this may just be a honeymoon type deal, but one of the common themes in the responses to my previous thread was to find a club you had confidence in. I think I found it!
