My friend bought a hyper x but he hated it so he took it back and traded it for a fti which he likes better. I personally didnt like either of them. My dads friend has the sumo squared and i used it a few times and loved it. He really likes it too. Personal preference though so yea you really should just go test them out.

i would never get the nike because it just sounds so damn awful on contact. thats the only square driver ive ever hit and hopefully it will be the last. ping G5 is where its at for me

I use the callaway and it is pretty nice. I think golf clubs are almost like ski boots. Not everyone is the same. Me personally, I can't hit a burner while some people can crush those clubs ya know?

hmm mm, my uncle has the HX, its OK, nothing special though, i hate nikes, especially the suare ones,. BUT, they are said to be some of the best drivers out there (nike square drivers) so give it a try.

also, i ended up getting a hi bore xl last year for 150, i was gonna go newer, but i love mine, i hit it a mile and really consistantly, so if youve already demoed and are just trying to dcidde between these 2 then go nike if you cna stand the god awuful sound it makes. if you are open to suggestions, try some older like alst years gear, itll be wayyyy cheaper, and might work better with your game.

adding to this jumble of thoughts, ive hit both, i hit my uncles R flex, 10.5 degree HX, i hit it ok, but i hit my S flex, 9.5 deg hibore xl farther/have more controll.

i also hit my bosses 5900 sq, BUT it was an X flex 8 or 8.5 degree haha, so it was like swinging a 2x4 lol. but it hit decent for what it was, it also had much more feel than the calaway, and more workability/controll imo.

hope that helps ya, if i had to decide between them id get the nike, as it has more tech into it, and is an overall nicer club, the callaway is a lower end club, just above the big bertha i believe, the nike is top of the line, not that that means much, but jsut food for thought

i havent personally hit either of these clubs. but having hit a ton of different drivers. i can honestly say i am NOT a fan of the square head. it just doesnt feel right.

make sure you spend plenty of time demoing them. and while its not the trendy cool thing to do, your driver does NOT need to be a full 460. i have smaller taylor made ( i cant remember the name of it for the life of me) that is about 5 years old. its an awesome driver. bigger does not always mean better.

like someone said, you just gotta find one that works for you. i dont like the square heads, but some people do.
