Nike’s new Sasquatch driver is a great looking club. If you were going to buy a driver on looks alone, the Sasquatch might would be near the top of the list.
Nike has developed a new technology called Powerbow, which “adds a trailing volume of mass to apply more power and control to the ball without overstepping the 460cc limit.” This gives the driver the largest footprint in the game of golf. Powerbow is so revolutionary for making clubs they patented it. For the Sasquatch, they’ve moved the center of gravity lower and further back to give golfers more forgiveness and a larger sweetspot. When you look at the face of the club you’ll notice that Nike stayed with the nexTI that was used on the popular Ignite driver. Why change a good thing right?
For right-handed golfers, the driver is available in 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, Lucky 13°, and Sweet 16°. Unfortunately lefties are limited to 9.5°, 10.5°, and Lucky 13°. Lucky 13° and Sweet 16° are the exact terms used on the Nike Golf web site. The Sasquatch is built with a Diamana shaft by Mitsubishi Rayon.
Nike also matching fairway metals which look equally appealing.
Update: I just saw the commercial on TV which was a neat idea. It looks like the clubs will be released in November.
