The Technology: The Sumo2 (or Sumo Squared) 5900 has that maximum MOI, which is achieved through the club's square geometry and Nike Golf's "Powerbow" weighting that repositions discretionary weight to the corners of the clubhead. |
NIKE SUMO 2 5900 :
The second generation of Nike Sumo drivers are ready, and they go by the names Nike SQ Sumo2 5900 and Nike SQ Sumo 5000
The Scoop From The Snoop:
It's a more traditionally shaped driver, with a deep profile, and provides golfers more of the ability to shape shots.

The Technology: The Cobra Speed LD Driver has the maximum allowable USGA length and width, five inches deep by five inches wide. Cobra claims these drivers have the highest MOI of any all-titanium driver, with a value of 5,000, and also claims the largest face of any driver in golf. The Speed LD Driver's center of gravity is positioned to achieve a draw bias and a higher trajectory |
COBRA SPEED LD :
"LD" stands for "Limit Dimensions," an indication that Cobra has increased the dimensions of the clubhead to achiever higher moment of inertia and larger sweet spots.
The Scoop From The Snoop:
Cobra calls the Speed LD and Speed Pro lineup of drivers and fairway metals "the longest, straightest most forgiving metals ever offered from Cobra." All of these clubs incorporate Cobra's "Speed Tuning" package, with clubheads, shafts and grips paired and matched to the swing speeds of different types of golfer

The Technology: MOI is the clubhead's resistance to twisting on off-center impact (i.e., heel, toe, high, or low). A higher MOI value means more resistance to twisting. The benefit of a higher MOI is longer distance (better energy transfer from club to ball) on off-center impacts. |
TITLEIST 907 D1 :
When it comes to 460cc drivers, even at the highest level of competitive golf, there are plenty of choices. Now there's the next evolution of 460cc driver technology, the Titleist 907 drivers.
The Scoop From The Snoop:
The Titleist 907D1 is a multi-material 460cc driver with a high moment of inertia (MOI) for increased DISTANCE WITH FORGIVENESS and outstanding playability.
