Square driver heads?

Anyone actually test the new square driver heads that Nike and Callaway are about to come out with and do they actually work?

I'm sure they work just as good as any other driver...supposing your swing is good. If your swing is not good, these things aren't going to be the magic fix.

I have tried the affinity cube. It hit it quite long and straight and for 60 its nice. I found they lacked a good bit of feelin compared to a normal driver and it has a pretty odd sound on impact.

I saw one at the Target World Challenge. The Nike rep there was saying it was more forgiving than the other model, but couldn't be worked as much.

I saw a newsfeed about Tiger using a Sumo driver:

"Tiger Woods said the weakest part of his game at the end of last season was driving. To address it, he spent part of his off-season testing several new drivers, including a square-shaped driver called Sumo. "I do hit it further but launching it a little high," said Woods, who will make his 2007 PGA Tour debut at the Buick Invitational on Jan. 25. "That's what the off-season is for, to try to dial it in."

-- New York Times

Can you imagine Tiger hitting it farther and carrying it more (higher launch)???
