The SUMO 2 doesn't meet USGA C.O.R standards, and all current models in the market will have to be replaced to be legal. How badly will this damage Nike's image in golf?

It will probably enhance sales and not damage their image with anyone but Mr. Woods. Ill informed people will believe they are "hot" drivers and will pay more for them or hang on to them thinking they have some sort of advantage. There is little or no advantage to an amateur. Might hurt Nike's pocketbook.

Hmmm....people will dislike Nike because the Sumo2 makes their drives go longer? Hmmm, I hate it when my drives go so far!
I doubt it will do anything to hurt Nike's golf image. The only defect their club had was that it produced an extra 1-2 yard ADVANTAGE. If it decreased player's hits, then I'd say it'd mar their reputation since people spent $500 on a bad driver, but if it actually went further I think people would like it and not replace their clubs. The only people that TRULY is affected by the recall are pros and pro-am players using it at tournaments since it is now non regulation.

it truly is a sweet club. I used it in a condominium set after I performed the Wailea Blue direction on Maui. The nike does bypass very a procedures and immediately once you're making sturdy contact with the ball. It also has respectable ball flight it truly is neither too penetrating or too lofty. on the different hand, i'd truthfully recommend demoing the club earlier you purchase it because the outsized structure of the motive force head may be fairly distracting in the starting up and the sound of the stress at impression is amazingly loud and undesirable. in my view i'd recommend the club because I exceedingly a lot offered one after I back homestead. the biggest issue is making an attempt it out for your self to work out if it suits your sport. goodluck

How badly will it damage it's image...not at all as long as they do the right thing by the public. A number of years ago they had a BIG recall with PING golf clubs, the main thing it damaged was their pockets. I still went and bought a set and very pleased I did.

1.To their credit, Nike has followed the correct public relations script by acting quickly and decisively to make things right.
2. They are replacing all Sumo 2's free of charge.
Net result? Damage will be minimal at worst.
If I could have tolerated the way it looked at address I would probably bought one myself lol

It won't hurt them much the pain was to let it be known. Who it's going to hurt is R&D personnel for letting this happen someone has to take the blame this is going to cost them. The good thing is that none of the pro's had it and it was found out that way then the damge would be bad.

It sucks for them. It only goes 1-2 yards farther, so nobody is consistent enough for it to make any difference.
