Nickent 3DX Ironwood DC
Nickent 3DX Ironwood DC (3+ 18.5-degree)
I recently switched from the Nickent 3DX Ironwood to the 3DX Ironwood DC. These are the first and only hybrid clubs I’ve had in my bag. The Ironwood replaces a 3-iron I never used because I couldn’t hit it w/ any consistency. I’m glad I made the switch.
The hybrid is far more versatile than a 3-iron. Hitting from the rough is just as easy as hitting from a nice tight fairway lie. I use the Ironwood from the tee, fairway, rough and even from some fairway bunkers.
I have the club fitted with a 75 gram Aldila NV hybrid shaft. I’m not totally sold on this shaft and I may replace it soon. The new 4DX’s actually have a UST shaft now (probably results in a higher launch).
The Ironwood’s distance and trajectory control are great. I added a few small lead weights to the existing factory weights behind the club head. This has helped me eliminate the pull hooks that were popping up on occasion.
This club has become a very valuable part of my game. However, I am tempted to give the Taylormade Rescue TP a try.
Overall rating: 8.5/10
