What is the difference between these 2 golf clubs?

Question

http://www.golfsmith.com/products/NK805

Both have a square shape, but one is significantly more expensive. I currently use a Ping ISI Karsten titanium driver. I slice with it REALLY bad. A square driver would greatly improve my game. If it does not give me distance, it will sure straighten my tee shots. So again, what's the difference between those 2 Nike drivers in those links above, and will both of them give me more distance over the driver I have? I bought this Ping driver in 2000 for $399.

Answer 1

If you're going to buy a Sumo driver, you should get the best price you can.

Rock Bottom Golf has the Sumo ($169) and Sumo 2 ($189) on their site right now, plus you can take 10% off if you enter Slick10Off during checkout as a coupon code.

Answer 2

The nk815 is 10.5 degrees while the nk805 is 13 degrees this will change the height and trajectory of your tee shot

Answer 3

I dont believe you have a driver problem it sounds like a swing problem. Money spent on a lesson is far cheaper and more effective. You dont want to be the only one out there with a straight hitting square driver and still slicing it. Good luck.

Answer 4

The first one is the improved 2008 model.

I would recommend a Callaway FTi, even hank haney says he prefers the callaway to the nike. He also said that square shaped drivers are the closest thing you can get to cheating in golf

Answer 5

I'm going to agree that it doesn't not sound like an equipment issue, but a swing issue.  Lessons are going to be cheaper and probably more effective.  The square driver will only help if you are missing the center of the face.  It will not help if the face is wide open at impact.  If you are slicing as bad as you say, then the face is wide open at impact.  Period.  Now, a club with a significantly closed face may help you, or a club with draw biased weighting may help (or one with both), but square alone is not going to fix your problem.

Answer 6

the one is two hundred dollars less and i dont think there is anything wrong probably just a misprint on the webpage

Answer 7

So you slice REALLY bad off the tee and a new square driver is going to straighten that all out.  OK, tell you what, buy the one for $200 less and let's you and me go play for the other $200.  It ain't the bows and arrows pal.  Stop wasting your money on new equipment and learn to hit the ball.
