I've had my SUMO 2 since day one and love it. I can't understand why the general thought consenses is that it doesn't hit long? When you play it on the COURSE, not in shop, it's amazing how much longer it really is. I think the fact that it goes so darn straight allows you to gradually take a bigger swing at the ball? All I know is I am hitting it an honest 20 yards further than I was hitting my R7 460....and I really liked that club!

A friend of mine has the FT-i and I have hit it as well...a REALLY great club! My best advice would be to find a course that has some for demo's and hit them on the course...indoor ranges and driving ranges just don't give you enough feedback when it comes to REAL playing conditions.

The biggest difference is the size of the head. The SUMO 2 head is very big, but EXTREMELY light. You will find the FT-i head size is smaller...even smaller than a conventional 460cc head. It's about the size of a TM 425, so it's going to be a matter of personal preference for you. When I was hitting his FT-i my drives were long too. The "forgivness" of these two clubs allow you really "GO AT THE BALL", thus producing longer AND straighter drives!
