The Nickent 3DX Ironwoods have been some of the best-reviewed hybrids on the market over the past year. And they've been among the most-played on the pro tours.
So if you're Nickent and you've enjoyed that success and watched your company grow, what do you do with your flagship clubs? Make them better.
That's what Nickent believes its done with the new 3DX DC Hybrids, a pair of additions to the 3DX hybrid lineup. The two new clubs are the DC Ironwood and the DC Utility.
The DC Ironwood is the same size and shape as the highly successful original 3DX Ironwood; the DC Utility is slightly larger in volume and wider from clubface to back, a bit closer to the footprint of a fairway wood.
The 3DX DC clubs have several advantages over the original 3DX Ironwood. The DC clubfaces are thinner, creating a higher C.O.R. than in the original. In the 3DX DC clubs, Nickent employed a plasma welding process that helped redistribute weight to the extreme perimeter of the clubhead, and 40 grams of weight were moved down and back in the head through the use of two tungsten-polymer fused inserts (which Nickent calls XW Inserts).
That extreme heel-toe weighting means the new DC Ironwood has an MOI 25-percent greater than in the original 3DX Ironwood, yet is the same shape.
The DC Utility has a wider body and sets up more like a fairway wood, compared to the DC Ironwood. With a lower and deeper center of gravity, it is designed for golfers seeking a higher trajectory. The shafts of the 3DX DC Utility are slightly longer than that of an ironwood, allowing for a sweeping fairway wood-like swing.
The Nickent 3DX DC Ironwood is available in seven models from 1 through 5 (including two plus models), lofts 14 degrees through 26 degrees. The 3DX DC Utility is available in five models from 13 degrees to 21 degrees.
Three high-performance shaft options are available: the 75-gram Aldila NV hybrid graphite shaft; the UST Golf SR2 graphite shaft; and the Nippon 950 steel shaft. MSRP is $199 on the NV stock option, $169 for the UST SR2 and $179 in the Nippon 950 shaft. The new hybrids ship to retailers in early December.
