#Nickent 3dx ironwood review pro

Just what youРІР‚в„ўd expect from a game improvement club.

The top line is thick and the offset is plenty. Nickent claims the cap saved them 35 grams (thatРІР‚в„ўs a lot) that they were able to reposition as two steel plugs in the heel and toe.Р”В«ecause this design lets them achieve a lower center of gravity and a concomitant higher launch angle, it opened up the possibility to strengthen the loft so, in theory, anyway, the launch angle would be similar but the distance greater. They are a cast stainless steel clubhead with an exceptionally deep cavity covered by a graphite cap. The irons are designed along much the same lines as CallawayРІР‚в„ўs popular Fusion irons. There are two stories here: the construction of the clubs and the loft progression through the set. Probably because they were designed as a line extension of the hybrids, not necessarily from scratch as part of this set, the accent graphics are green instead of the red on the irons. The hybrids have a shallow face, moderate offset and feature a glossy black painted crown.

Playing with me the other day as I tested the hybrids, my good friend and PGA pro dubbed the hybrid РІР‚Сљthe cloven hoof.РІР‚Сњ But beauty is as beauty does, and as IРІР‚в„ўll relate later, these clubs work. They are uniquely shaped and, to my eye, just a little awkward looking. Truthfully, I wonder how much design input Hoeflich had on these clubs. The two hybrid clubs, on the other hand, bear more a family resemblance to NickentРІР‚в„ўs earlier hybrid offerings. The two lower scoring lines are filled with white paint to help with alignment. And while the head is polished, the top line and face are bead blasted to avoid glare. Coupled with the very tasteful graphics and the highly polished stainless steel head it makes for a very, very classy-looking club. The entire set shares the same shaft and the larger iron heads blend nicely with the two hybrid clubs.Р”Р„ graphite cap covers the cavity back and has a glossy clear finish revealing the woven graphite fabric pattern. But itРІР‚в„ўs the shape of the iron face thatРІР‚в„ўs most appealing and where you see most of the designerРІР‚в„ўs touch in evidence. In the playing position they display a fairly thick top line and considerable offset. You can see that same masterРІР‚в„ўs touch in the 3DX Hybrid irons. HoeflichРІР‚в„ўs 8-iron in the old Tommy Armour 845РІР‚в„ўs is one of the most beautiful ever designed.

Most designers acknowledge that the 8-iron is the most difficult to conjure up as it is the transition club between the mid irons and short irons. Hoeflich is a proven master when it comes to iron esthetics. With a lot of offset, and all that forgiveness, they seem to be pitching these clubs at slower swingers and older players. TheyРІР‚в„ўve brought the concept to market by marrying two of their proven hybrid clubs with extreme perimeter-weighted irons that range from a 5-iron to a pitching wedge, including a 10-iron. Loft progression through the set results in extremely strong mid-irons and weaker short irons. What this means is that there is no longer a gap in loft between the shortest hybrid and the longest iron. The Nickent 3DX Hybrid irons are designed from the hybrids on down. Their latest offering is an evolutionary РІР‚вЂњ maybe even revolutionary РІР‚вЂњ take on set makeup. Hoeflich and, with his expertise, launched itself into the iron market in a big way.
