What are the differences between a square driver and a round driver?

Question

besides the shape of course

Answer 1

Square drivers by nature have a higher MOI (moment of inertia) which is the clubs resistance to twisting @ impact. All of that mumbo jumbo just means the club  will be more forgiving than a traditional shape driver. BUT with a higher degree of forgiveness, comes a slight loss of distance. I play a Nike SUMO2 5900 and I love it. I have decent length, 270-290, so for me to be in the short grass more, has lowered my scores.

Answer 2

For me personally, I just don't like the look.  I tried a ton of drivers this spring.  All the "Newer and better" stuff.  I hate the sounds of the Sumo's  and I actually noticed nothing special about all of the Newest and greatest square heads...... I could still draw or fade whenever I wanted to.....So to me they were nothing but a gimmick.....I know of several guys that are in love with them...so I guess its a "to each his own" thing

Answer 3

The square driver will give you a more accurate drive (so they say)

This is because I suppose it helps to pull back on a better plane, and if you miss hit the ball the club cannot twist as much through impact

Answer 4

One driver is square and the other driver is round. ha ha. It's harder to shape a ball with a square driver, evidence is in golf magazines.

Have a good one...
