Firstly, the head shape. If you're used to traditionally styled golf clubs then the square head may well instantly put you off - plenty of people think that it's downright ugly. But there is method to the madness and the geometry of this club means that drives will hit consistently straight and long.

In practice this is difficult to argue with. Taking this club out on a blustery day really proved its mettle: ball flight was strong and surprisingly straight, in conditions where other drivers wouldn't perform so well.

However, there is a downside to this. Workability is so drastically sacrificed that, if being able to manoeuvre the ball off the tee is important to your game, this is not the club for you. While it's a great choice for any golfer looking to improve a slice, it is virtually impossible to achieve a draw, so if you are looking for a new driver we would definitely recommend trying this one out extensively before buying.

Whether Tiger really believed it or whether it was just clever marketing, his claim that this club was "too straight" even for him certainly says a lot about the Dymo Square.

There is still plenty going for it, though. It's certainly a drastic improvement on the Sumo in terms of feedback and sound, and although perhaps not quite up there with the hugely popular Big Bertha driver it's still a great step forward for Nike.

Its large sweet spot is a huge confidence boost, too. Any mishits were easily forgiven by the Dymo, which made it a pleasure to hit, and the Dynamic Moment of Inertia technology (which lends the club its name) seemed to do a good job of maximising performance in terms of distance and consistency.

You can certainly tell that Nike have put a whole lot of time into this driver, and it's definitely worth hitting a few rounds with one if you get the chance - you never know, if you're looking for raw distance alone then it could be the perfect club for you.

What the Web is Saying

"Watch out, straightness does come at a price. The ability to work the ball is highly diminished. I now understand why Tiger decided against putting it in his bag. If working the ball around the course is your thing, this is not the driver for you." - thesandtrap.com

"Ball flight was high and the amount of spin produced with the stock shaft meant that this was never going to be the longest driver and better players may be a little put off by how toed-in the driver is. Those who fight a slice will love it however." - golfwrx.com

"This is quite possibly the straightest Driver we have ever seen. At times it can actually be difficult to not hit a drive almost dead straight, the club is that accurate and forgiving." - which-golf-clubs-for-you.com

"The Nike SQ Dymo2 Square driver gives you all the forgiveness you would expect form this shape of club, but does so with great sound and feel." - golfalot.com
