Year after year, Nickent clubs continue to find their way into more and more Pro Tour and amateur golf bags. With this special Men’s 3DX DC Eight-Piece Ironwood/Iron Combo Set, you’ll get a sample of the best clubs Nickent has to offer–two of the revolutionary Ironwood hybrid clubs (3 and 4) and six of John Hoeflich’s best-selling irons (5-PW).
About 3DX DC Ironwoods
The Nickent Men’s 3DX DC Ironwood has a thinned face to create a much higher coefficient of restitution (COR) than the original 3DX Ironwood. A special plasma welding process was used to help redistribute the weight to the extreme perimeters of the clubhead. Forty grams of weight were moved down and back in the clubhead using two tungsten-polymer fused inserts called XW Inserts. That’s almost 60-percent more adjustable weight in the clubhead than the leading adjustable-weight hybrid club. Nickent has used this opportunity to create a right-handed club that is perfectly weighted to the extreme heel and toe for the straightest and most forgiving setup on the market. This unique feature gives Nickent the ability to make the DC Ironwood the same shape as the Tour favorite 3DX Ironwood, while increasing the moment of inertia (MOI) by 25-percent. This combo set includes the three and four 3DX DC Ironwoods.
About 3DX DC Irons
Over the last 20 years, John Hoeflich has designed many of the game’s best-selling irons. Million of golfers, including many of the world’s best players, have benefited from his iron design philosophy of mixing art with technology, and looks with performance. With this 3DX Iron Set (5-PW), Hoeflich challenged himself to create the highest level of game improvement irons, combined with the classic look that have come to represent Hoeflich irons over the years.
The first thing you’ll notice after hitting a 3DX iron is the distance. Cast from 431 stainless steel, the 3DX has a remarkably thin and strong face that creates a very high coefficient of restitution (COR) to promote a faster ball speed. Twenty grams of weight were saved from the face and redistributed in two perfectly balanced tungsten-polymer fused inserts (XW Inserts) on the back of the clubhead. Moving 20 grams of weight to the back of the blade and widening the sole makes the 3DX easy to launch and easy to play from a wide array of lies.
Weight is spread to the extreme heel and toe by the XW Inserts, so the head is more forgiving and the club is more stable on impact. Balls will stay in the air longer and land softly as a result of the unique Nickent U-Grooves that have been expertly matched to the center of gravity (CG) of the irons to provide the ideal spin rate under all conditions. The inserts also give the 3DX irons unmatched forgiveness and feel that will make an immediate imprint on golfers of any level. The tungsten-polymer design absorbs vibration from impact, and reduces the majority of the shock and harsh feel often associated with irons that use hard tungsten plugs or screws to lower the CG or achieve perimeter waiting. Last but not least, Nickent has equipped all the 3DX irons with high-launching UST SR2 graphite shafts. These shafts have been matched to the ironheads to maximize power and distance, and encourage faster swing speeds with no loss of control.
What is the Coefficient of Restitution (COR)?
The Coefficient of Restitution, referred to as COR in golf circles, is a measurement of the clubface’s ability to rebound the ball, expressed as a percentage that is determined by a ball’s speed off the clubhead divided by the speed at which it struck the clubhead. The term crept into popular golf vernacular with the rise of ultra-thin-faced drivers. An effect of thin faces is known as the “spring-like effect” or “trampoline effect”–the face of the driver depresses as the ball is struck, then rebounds. This provides a little extra power to the shot, and a club that exhibits this property will have a very high COR. Of course, the USGA has imposed maximum CORs to level the “spring-like effect” playing field. For a club to be allowed under USGA rules, it must have a maximum COR of 0.830.
