I thought the Nike Sumo Sweet 16 was supposed to be a hot seller? I picked up the Sumo Lucky 13 (13-degree) and I have no problem with it....unless I don't turn my hands over, lol.

I have an SMT Solitaire 3.5 fairway wood with a DG S300 shaft. It has a 17* loft, and I often use it from the tee. It has a much lower flight than I expected from 17*, lower than my 10.5* driver, yet I regularly get a straight 250+ yards off the tee with it, only 15-20 yards less than the driver (and that's if I hit the driver straight!). So I think there's more to the equation than just the loft of the club, which makes me think there may be a reason someone would like a 20* driver loft if the rest of the club were built correctly for their needs.
