2008 Nike Golf Line (Spy Photos!)

Nike Golf 2008 “Spy Photos”

Last year Nike gave a spark to a golf market that was hurting for a flame. I wondered what they were going to do this year to top that first square driver. Actually, they did a pretty good job. They didn’t break the mold but they did improve on what they had. An anonymous “spy” sent us these photos of what you will start to see all over the place. We promise you that. We had heard they are even going to get a Sumo Iron, we will get you those pictures as soon as we get our hand on them.

Enjoy these for now!!

2008 Nike SQ Sumo 5900

Nike was first to the punch when it came to the square headed MOI monster driver heads but they certainly were not the last. Everyone from Cobra to even Titleist got into the MOI hoopla. And from what the Mygolfspy guys are seeing this trend might be here to stay.

The square shape Nike patented has seriously changed the path of golf head design which is leading to some pretty radical stuff in the pipelines. And the 2nd Generation that Nike has developed is proof of this. The Nike SQ Sumo2 5900 and Nike SQ Sumo 5000 are even bigger, badder and even boxier then their predecessors. They must be on the right path though, they have led the PGA in driver wins the last 2 years. Check out the top and side view below:

2008 Nike SQ Sumo 5000

The Nike Sumo 5000 is a more traditionally shaped…well thats what Nike says atleast. You will see from the other two views that they have equipped this beast with a similar PowerBow system that they used in 2007.

The purpose of both designs is to provide superior head stability, maximize ball speed, and deliver the ultimate in accuracy. And that is what this game is all about..being in the short grass!

Nike Slingshot 4D Irons

The Nike Slingshot 4D has 4 features that make it stand out from previous Nike models:

Altered Slingback:
Design positioned weight strategically (low and back in long irons; higher & forward in short irons) in each club to achieve the desired ball flight

Variable Sole Width:
Sole width narrows progressively throughout the set — long irons are wider for higher launch; short irons are thinner to provide greater control

Progressive Offset:
Offset in the long irons make it easier to square the face and hit high, straight shots. Incremental decreases in the mid and short irons ensure precise shot-making with the scoring clubs

Club Head Profile:
The long irons offer hybrid-like forgiveness and high, soft-landing shots — the mid-size profile of the short irons enhances control and accuracy
