About me: I'm a mid- to high- handicap golfer and play 1-2 rounds a month. I currently carry 2 hyrbids in my bag (2-iron and 3-iron Nickent Genex 3dx Ironwoods). I have owned and played both the Nike CPR ironwood type hybrid and the TaylorMade Rescue Mid. Hybrid clubs have definitely helped my game. As advertised hybrids are generally easier to hit than long irons, get the ball in the air quickly, and fly higher and farther than the irons these clubs are intended to replace. They are versatile and can be hit from the tee, the fairway, the rough, out of fairway bunkers, and even used on chip shots from the fringe. Performance: As far as hybrids go, the Nickent Genex 3dx is hard to beat. Its a super easy to hit club with a very low and back center of gravity. Its forgiving and launches the ball high and long. I think its likely as good as any hybrid on the market today (particularly for the average player). Certainly better than the Nike CPR that I have played and as good as the TaylorMade Rescue Mid I played just before the Nickents. In fact, I selected the Nickent based on how similar it was in design to the TaylorMade Rescue Mid. Price: I think what really sets the Nickent apart is its price. I paid $80 new retail for my steel shafted 3iiron Nickent and $100 new retail for the Aldila NV Hyrbid shafted 2-iron. In comparison, the Rescue Mids were about $180 at the time. Press: Lately, I’ve seen a lot of print ads in golf publications from Nickent touting it as the most played hybrid on tour (combined PGA, Nationwide, and Senior tours). The ads say that Nickent doesn’t pay any player to carry their clubs and yet more pros carry their hybrids than any other manufacturer. I have no idea if this is true and it doesn’t have any bearing on whether the club will help my game, but based on the shots I’ve hit with this club, I can only imagine what it could do in the hands of pros. Bottomline: The Nickent Genex 3dx hybrids delivers solid performance but at an unbelievable price point. Probably as good as any hybrid on the market, it’s a solid choice. Factor in the price, and this club becomes maybe the best value in a hybrid on the market today.Read full review
If I could rate this line of clubs as Excellent +++ I would. I have tried all the major brands of woods and hybrids. To make a long story short, I now have four Nickent Hybrids in my bag. I don't hit long irons well, so these help me out. I own 6,5,4, & 3 iron replacement hybrids. Easy to hit, easy to look at, good out of the rough, great from the fairway. Just off the green, use the Nickent, they work GREAT!! I also think that Cleveland woods are great, along with their Halo line. But the Nickent line is a step high on the golf chain!! There is a reason why Nickent is the #1 Hybrid on the pro tours.
I was immediately impressed after hitting tne club just a few times!!!! I shoot low to mid 80's from the tips(back tees). Club is easy to hit out of the rough and very bad lies. I have the 4 wood 23degree. Played in a tournament last week best ball 2nd shot I was 220 out eagled the hole!! I can hit it 200 to 225 easy to work the ball. Low shot under a tree got it. Short an simple the club works my friends that still hit 3 irons call it a old mans club but I keep beating them with it some people just don't get ha ha!! P.S. If u miss a tee shot short don't worry pull out your ironwood and putt for BIRDIE and I have a used older model not the new one . The club pro at course we played the other day had a nickent 2dx ironwood in his bag go figure !!!!!
Bought a 3DX 3/20 almost by accident, placed a bid that I didn't really think would win, it did. The club was in better shape than the description, it looks brand new. My handicap fluctuates a few 10ths on eithter side of 1. I had hit a few of the early hybrids a couple times in the past and was not very impressed, viewed them as a gimick and tended to look down on anyone who couldn't/wouldn't hit the long irons. What a mistake, these Nickent clubs ROCK. Spent some time on the range and after a few swings got this club dialed. Some reviews have stated that these clubs are hard to work the ball with, I disagree, I actually have found the opposite to be true. High/low, left/right, just set up and swing it, but yes, it's strength is a high, straight shot. First time on the course I was playing a short, tight, wooded course and hit it off the tee on several short par fours. Used my laser rangefinder to check ACTUAL yardages off the tee and I was consistantly between 230-240 yards, about 20 yards longer than the Ping i3 three iron it's replacing. One surprise was that this club came with an R flex graphite shaft which I thought would be too weak for me, (my club head speed with a driver averages 118) wrong again. This shaft feels much stronger to me than an R flex so don't assume you need and S or X. Wish I would have discovered this club sooner, I plan on adding one more to my bag.Read full review
Excellent club, well constructed, solid feel and nicely balanced. Great to look at address too. I purchased this club to use on short Par 4s ( 400yds) and it is perfect for that. I average about 255-270 yds off the tee with an average swing speed of between 105-110 mph. Uniflex steel shaft is very nice, feels firm enough for me, but forgiving. 14 degree loft is perfect for producing the low, boring flight I want off the tee. When I hit this solidly, it feels like the club head is a solid block of metal. Great feel. I can also move the ball left or right when I need to. Would recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional club for short par 4s or other situations where low accurate shots are needed. I've hit this off the deck successfully at both the course and the range and have great confidence in my ability to get the ball up from almost any lie. I really can't say enough good things about this hybrid from Nickent!Read full review
