Anyone seen address pics of the Regular Sumo?

These are of the Sumo Squared but, from what i have seen, the SQ Sumo looks to be a "regular" SQ shape with a slightly extended "powerbow" section. Might be a little easier to the eye to begin with.

Imagine a square version of the Cleveland HiBore, but with a less deep scoop at the Powerbow around the back.

If the Callway FT-5/FT-I has a plain black crown at address (just like the FT-3), I will definitely try it. The Sumo looks like a Slingshot Hybrid on steroids, and a little too busy.

I hit one over the weekend for 9 holes, its just as good as the SQ and FT-3 imo.

The feel was not well ( im picky about that )
distance is maxed ( all drivers are the same depending on specs and shaft )
forgiving ( yes, very forgiving with little head twist due to the MOI and shape )

This is another decent ugly driver.
