As the race for more distance in golf continues to rage on, Nike has entered another driver option into the market. The SQ Mach Speed Driver with its sleek black head is a take-off the original SQ design from a few years ago.
Tested March 2011 Test Team: Chris Ryan (Pro), Jon Greathead (HCP 8), Bryan Slater (HCP 12), Darren Slater (HCP 16) Comments: The TG Gear Team thought the new Machspeed Black might go well when it came to the test and we weren’t disappointed. Nike have always been first at destroying traditional barriers in design of sports products, and with this driver it was all about reducing the amount of drag a driver head generates so more speed and therefore distance can be achieved. Jon got on particularly well with the product, raving about the look of the head the feel it generated. But it wasn’t just the subjective categories where it performed for our man, as he notched up his longest average carry of the Test, with 248 yards being recorded.
Bryan thought it was an incredibly easy club to hit and a tight consistency rate from both him and Jon suggested this was a forgiving beast. It’s also worth knowing that if you were a fan of the square-headed drivers that were more popular than a crap Premiership referee a few years ago, Nike still offer a square option. Looks: 3.8 Feel: 4.5 Sound: 4 Forgiveness: 4.3 Distance: 5 Dispersion: 4.5 Overall: 4.5 stars Nike’s Machspeed driver was phenomenal because of its superb length – but the new version might just be even better. The black clubhead makes it look sheer class but the main benefit comes from the improved aerodynamics – Nike Golf engineers looked at the position of the clubhead through the full swing and designed the club accordingly, meaning less drag and greater distance. And Nike's STR8-FIT technology allows the option of eight face positions from 2° closed to 2° open to suit all styles of golfer.

I've never been short on distance hitting 300+ yard drives often but not always where I aimed or hoped the ball would land & after playing with a friends Taylor Made RBZ the decision was made that the newer clubs were much more forgiving. At the great American Golf test centre in Plymouth I auditioned the Ping G20 9.5s & also the Nike VR S 9.5s but found the Nike Machspeed Black 9.5s the most forgiving & for myself longest driver of the lot creating a high draw shot & even the mis-hits being somewhere in the direction I've aimed (my old club was not so nice). After a few rounds & a bit of getting used to the much larger head of my new driver I'm enjoying smashing 300+ yd bombs but this time giving myself a nice FAIRWAY iron for my next shot. On the same audition, my much shorter friend who tested the same clubs bought the Ping G20 after getting on with that driver the same way I got on with the Mach Black.

The 2011 continuation of Nike Golf’s SQ MachSpeed series takes on a new look and raises its standard for feel and performance. Last season, Nike offered just one head style: a “square” head that appeared slightly skewed and somewhat awkward. With some simple design differences, the MachSpeed Black square driver takes on a more traditional square form while a brand new round clubhead with a compact shape is a welcome addition to this product line. The MachSpeed Black square driver produces much better sightlines than the 2010 Machspeed driver because of its straight, linear design. At address, there is no mistaking where the club face is pointing, in part because of the all black clubhead (black crown along with a black PVD finished clubface). This helps golfers of all skill levels frame the ball properly.
Nike’s Str8-Fit technology also allows the actual face angle to be altered in order to produce the most desirable ball flight for every player. With 8 different positions, this system gives players and club-fitters alike the opportunity to manipulate the driver so that the correct combination of look and performance are easily achievable, without over complicating the process. The MachSpeed Black round driver fills a void in the product line and gives golfers who prefer a more traditional shape and look something to talk about in 2011. Also equipped with Str8-Fit technology, the round head allows golfers the ability to work their shots more easily than its square counterpart. Aside from looks, the MachSpeed Black driver’s feel and sound has been improved from 2010. Historically, Nike drivers have been known to have some of the louder, more “hollow” sounding effects at impact leading to a less than solid feel. This driver takes a step in a positive direction toward solving that problem.
With a quieter, more subdued sound at impact, this driver not only feels solid but is more fun to hit. The standard shaft offering in both the MachSpeed Black square or round head is the Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki 50 designed for Nike.
A take off the popular Fubuki Tour shaft, this option checks in at a lighter weight (just 51-54 grams, depending on stiffness). Also available as a stock option is the Project X graphite shaft. With a heavier weight (61-71 grams, depending on stiffness), this high performance shaft should help golfers with higher ball flights lower their trajectory and control their spin rate thanks to a higher bend point and firmer tip profile.
Available in lofts of 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5 and HL (13) degrees, in both the square and round clubheads, there are plenty of options available to properly fit all golfers. Standard women’s options are 11.5 and HL (13) degrees in both square or round heads and come with a lighter color finish on the crown. Standard length is 45 ¾” for men and 44 ½” for women. While the look, feel, and versatility of this club have been improved, what about the performance? An individual launch monitor testing shows that compared to the 2010 MachSpeed driver, the new MachSpeed Black driver increased ball speed and distance while providing better feel.
Club Ball Speed (mph) Launch Angle (degrees) Spin Rate (rpm) Total Distance (yards) 2010 MachSpeed 144.2 12.6 2833 256.8 2011 MachSpeed Blk Square 10.5 145.1 12.6 2844 257.9 MachSpeed Blk Round 10.5 145.1 13.6 2687 261.1 MachSpeed Blk Round 10.5 w/Project X 145.0 13.2 2742 259.8 The data suggests that every MachSpeed Black driver combination which was tested increased initial ball speed by 0.8-0.9 miles per hour on average, resulting in anywhere from 1.1 to 4.3 yards more distance. It is important to note that the Project X shaft did exactly what was expected by lowering the initial launch angle by 0.4 degrees on average (the testing data also suggests that the Project X shaft was more accurate for this player based on distance from the center target line).
In most instances, the MachSpeed Black did precisely what was expected of it by delivering higher launch with lower spin, along with better ball speed, resulting in maximum distance.
